Planet Vulcan?

Could be

[Madmarco]

Wherever it was made, J.O'., it has to be the strangest looking knife I've ever seen!

[GringoBombero]

IXL?

[Ridgegrass]

Marco: You know its a "rase" knife or "Timber scribe". They are funny looking but "form follows function".

Gringo: not IXL

Boker

[Ridgegrass]

Not Boker.

[Madmarco]

Thanks, J.O'.
I'd have never guessed it's a scribe knife, and I hope you don't feel I was criticizing your knife, I'm sure it's most useful, I've just never seen anything like it before.

[Ridgegrass]

Marco. I never take any offense or exception, especially from a good guy like you. In fact, you crack me up. ( I don't want to give any either.)
I thought you might be familiar with scribes. O'.

[Madmarco]

It's all good, J.O'., I don't recall EVER reading anything offensive from you.
I wasn't, but I am now familiar with scribes, thanks to you buddy!

Eagle

[Ridgegrass]

Not Eagle. New York import firm dealt in US, England, and Germany. J.O'.

[Ridgegrass]

The company was supposedly in a building next to H. Boker in New York. O'.

[Ridgegrass]

Last hint. It's a German-sounding name. J.O'.

Hoffritz

[Ridgegrass]

Not Hoffritz. It's a "vom CLEFF, Warranted", New York. Only ever seen two and I have them. J.O'.

[GringoBombero]

Interesting. Is that an equestrian knife?

[Ridgegrass]

No it's called a "rase" or "race" knife or a timber scribe. Used for marking timbers or crates or barrels. Like we use heavy keil crayons or spray paint today. They were common 100 years ago. Many are New York Knife, Camillus, Catt's, Robesons with wood handles. The brass one's could be for maritime use. Probably haven't been made for quite a while. Take my turn. J.O'.
