Wondering if anyone would have any info on this old beauty. Horn scales multi use knife. The only markings I can find are on the guard which look to be "C.12". No tang stamps on the old carbon blades.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
This is one of my newest favorites for sure.
Anyone familiar with this old horn scale beauty?

That would be a shell puller for a 12 gauge shotgun. Nice old survivor. Might be German.

Makes sense. I thought the end was a guard but shell puller it is....dual purpose as well I guess. Interesting for sure. Most shell pullers Ive seen have a ring so it really slipped my mind.

If you look at the handguard, you can see the #12 marked on it as shell puller for a 12-gauge shotgun. This knife was made in Germany.Knife Trading Post wrote: ↑Sat Sep 27, 2025 6:57 pmMakes sense.
