Old and Obscure Brands
Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Not sure how obscure it is, but I have a Marttiini brand knife from around the 1960s, as best as I can tell. I picked her up at a yard sale for a buck. Thsi knife is a handy fishing knife. She needs a little work on the handle.

My lucky day. 5 bucks at the flea market. All four blades stamped HOLLEY MFG Co. LAKE VILLE. Top and lower liners worked. Who cares about a little crack.

Those Martini's are great fillet knives. They're sold as RAPALA's and are still around. .
That HOLLEY is a peach! Don't find many of those. Super quality

W&G Vogel didn`t only make pocket knives . I never found out much about them but thought I should show this one .. Stamped W&G Vogel Elberfeld with the tongs.
Re: Old and Obscure Brands

Nice rescue JKB. Petekuhn that is a major slab of stag you got. Is that a switchblade? I would like to see all of it. Those bolsters look unique also.

Bill, I hate to tell you this but that blade was put into that frame
The jigged handles look like New York knife or Walden.

Don't know age or how obscure, but I've never seen another. Pretty good bone too, like Rogers bone, but I don't know if it's old enough to be.

Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Iman that’s a beautiful knife I checked Goins and all it says is Germany no dates or other information? Definitely obscure! Great find though, a lot better than the one I posted.
