Re: All Metal Handle Knives
Not too recently, I completed a NON-cutlery related purchase with an acquaintance of mine. He threw in this pocket knife as part of the deal. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. At the time, it became my latest example to be added to my general, "foreign born", pocket knife accumulation. It is an UNKNOWN (to me), one blade, one tool (a can opener), 3 5/8" closed (not including the bail), one handle stamp, all metal, pocket knife. The bail, which also serves as a "lock" to keep the can opener closed, is broken. This pocket knife does not have a spring. The bend in the body of the knife is the "spring." The blade does NOT have a half stop. The blade does NOT have an opening snap. The blade does NOT have a closing snap. The can opener (it resembles a P38 can opener), functions as intended. The main handle side says nothing, it is blank. The other handle side has what appears to be Japanese writing, symbols or characters. I am NOT an expert and I have NO knowledge regarding Asian writing, symbols, or characters. If the handle stamp is NOT Japanese, then I believe that it is .....? Other examples of this particular pattern or style of pocket knife that I saw online, were described as being WW2, Japanese soldier, pocket knives. This pocket knife is in FAIR condition.
I did NOT clean this pocket knife at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: All Metal Handle Knives
Great old thread - I’ve enjoyed reading through it again. Can’t believe I haven’t posted my metal handled knives before now, but here are some of them.

Re: All Metal Handle Knives
Recently, my trip to the post office produced this pocket knife. It now becomes my most recent example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also became my most recent example to be added to my general, "foreign born", pocket knife accumulation. It is an UNKNOWN (to me), one blade, one tool (a can opener), 2 3/4" closed (not including the bail), all metal, pocket knife. I can NOT find any remains of etches, marks, or stamps anywhere on this pocket knife. I am however, 99.999% positive that this pocket knife is Japanese in origin. The main handle side says nothing, it is blank. The other handle side says nothing, it is blank. Both handle sides have markings, but I do NOT know if they are the remains of "writing" or if they are just cosmetic blemishes. This pocket knife does NOT have a spring. The bend in the body of the knife is the "spring." The blade does NOT have a half stop. The blade does NOT have an opening snap. The blade does NOT have a closing snap. The can opener (it resembles a P38 can opener), does work as designed. The bail also serves as a "lock" to keep the can opener closed. This is my second pocket knife, although shorter, that is this particular pattern or style. My other pocket knife, in this particular pattern or style, was previously posted under this topic or thread. The other examples of this particular pattern or style of pocket knife that I found online, were described as being WW2, Japanese soldier, pocket knives. This pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. This pocket knife did NOT need cleaning.
I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: All Metal Handle Knives
Great idea posting this thread! The first pic below is most of mine, but I do have a few more. My favorites are the big multi-tool French knife which is stamped "Levrette - Thiers" (next to last pic) and of course, the mermaid (last pic). All of the blades in the Levrette tool knife have a very strong pull when I'm trying to open them and of course, and very strong closing snap. And yes, I have oiled all the blades several times.
