Do you have a KASTOR & BROS - ADOLPHUS BUSCH - Bartender Tool? I've seen a few of these "tools", from different makers, on a couple of different forums. I haven't seen a thread that's "dedicated" to them. I'll start with this KASTOR that I just recently acquired, but haven't received yet. I don't know if the Stanhope/"viewer" functions or not. It also doesn't have the little pouch. It has two tang stamps on each blade. The one below, third picture, I can make out. The other stamp(s), fourth picture, I don't know. Maybe STAINLESS STEEL? Here is a link to a very informative article: http://www.stanhopemicroworks.com/blog2 ... knife.html

Re: Kastor & Bros - Adolphus Busch Bartender Tool.
Well, it arrived. An A. KASTOR & BROS, NEW YORK, ADOLPHUS BUSCH, 2 blade, 2 tool pocket knife. No, Mr. Busch is not present. I may invest the money to have Mr. Busch "reinstalled." Each blade has two tang stamps. It's in pretty good condition. It didn't require a serious cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
