Here is an old multiblade from France. It's just too cool. I'm glad I bought it.
Is any one familiar with this stamp?
Thanks for looking.

Very cool knife Joe ... Unique array of blades - looks part Horticultural with a saw & sheeps foot blade but with a type setters tool ...

What an interesting and COOL knife! I like the blade assortment. It seems it would be very useful around the farm. Also the attention to detail is very nice. Those square and flush range and bolsters especially. Very nice indeed.

It's different and I like it.

Le Mouflon is French for a type of bighorn sheep, hence the image to the left of the name. The letters in the second line look like C. P. D. but they seem to be very widely spaced; can you make out any additional letters? A search for CPD as a possible name for a cutlery firm didn't turn up anything.

Notice how the FLON in the first line and the D in the second line seem to be stamped much deeper... that's curious.

That's a very neat old knife; where did you find it?

Thanks for all the comments, guys.

Lee, I think that's just a punch.

Thank you, Dennis.
Yes, that is CPD, widely spaced with periods. There are no other markings.
That some letters are more pronounced than others makes me think of a worn stamp.
I found it on e-Bay.
This knife has stout springs and shallow nail nicks. I have to resort to using a piece of wood to open the little spey.
It has tough turn on the pivot and no snap. The other blades are OK, but strong springs.
The saw is tapered at the spine to clear the kurf.
I'm surprised the punch tip is still intact as fine as it is.

Thanks for looking.

Very unusual. Way.... off my radar, but I am really enjoying the post. Thanks for showing it!

Beautiful oldie! I tried looking up the mark on that French website but came up empty.
