I am currently working on a Microtech Eotech..not much of a superb all around EDC, but after many years of packing a Buck 110, I am ready for something a little different and a lot smaller.

Re: Help with Henkels Hobo

::tu:: Thanks for the info to all. Some of the comments support what I hoped for . Now for the hard part…how do I find a collector ? I’m not a collector (or a camper, or a hobo) so hopefully someone can give it a proper home. The last thing would be some idea of its value.. Thanks again for the help.

Henry Sears Co

Can anyone shed any light on this little knife? MoP scales cracked one side, broken main, and rough sharpend secondary. I can't find any thing with this exact stamp:

HENRY
SEARS CO
PRUSSIA (smaller font)

Nothing from FRG yet...this may just end up being filed away in the "unknown" drawer! Too bad, such an interesting piece..

Re: One Wierd Knife..HELP Id Please

Sooo, this could be a forrester or maybe even a government issued piece? Just guessing. Fit and finish are pretty nice for a European, non German, knife, I think. Any ideas of other forums that may cater to this beast?
And yes, the LOGO is puzzleing.

Re: Help verify Eisenhower

Well, thats good to hear. She's in pretty good shape, I just haven't cleaned or lubed it. Figgured on selling it and let the new owner do it. I've got an even smaller Case pen 2 blade that almost gets lost in change...Appreciate your time and counsel. Have a good one!

Re: Help verify Eisenhower
