Unknown brand knife, brand, model and worth # 780

Post by rknarr3 »

"This is an unknown brand knife. On top is a 1 3/4"" knife and on the bottom is a 1 3/4"" nail file with a
nail cleaner pointer. The tang is engraved on separate lines with MADE IN and GERMANY. The handles
appear to be made of mother of pearls. Made in Germany. Has rust and/or surface rust.

I would like to ask a few questions as follows:
What is the brand of this knife?
What is the model of this knife?
What is this knife worth?

Thank you for your assistance in this request.
Regards,
Robert Knarr

This is a pattern called a lobster.
It's an old knife there's probably a missing blade because a lobster usually has at least three blades. In light of the condition and the fact that it is a no-name knife, the manufacturer did not bother to put their name on it, this usually indicates a very inexpensive and probably low quality knife.
Value? Negligible!

I don't know about that, Dale. I'm not sure if this particular knife is missing a blade or not, but I've seen a ton of lobsters with only two blades. I'd say they're about as common as lobsters with three blades. ::shrug::

I agree it likely is a 2 blade lobster knife and as a collector of these i also agree that this is not a valuable knife. Unlikely to sell for more than $5-$10.
