Nice thread with many interesting and beautiful old knives to admire.

It's probably a stretch to call this a punch blade. I believe this knife was intended to be used by a typesetter. The knife does not have a pattern number stamp.

Actually, I did not intend to sound so sarcastic in that post, but when I wrote it, I had completely forgotten about those four blade scout/utilities.

But, no, I don't feel deprived at all. ::handshake::
