That Wadsworth is really something. Right now, I don't recall seeing a serpentine frame with a punch blade installed. Neat.

No purpose behind any of them Dimitri, other than the Dasco. The rest are just an indication of my addiction.

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.

Thanks MB and Joe ::tu:: ::tu:: Truly appreciate the thoughts as well ::handshake::

Beautiful knife Raplh ::tu:: ... even though it may be a blade for type setting as you note I bet it would work well as a punch too ::nod::
