You people find such interesting knives!
Here is a Linder & Co cattle knife I picked up for the price of a pint of brew…
It was suffering from rust, a notched tip, a crescent shaped bone crack at the pile side center pin and general crud everywhere. I liked the heft, triple back springs, grooved bolsters, bone scales and swedged(correct word?) blades. Elbow grease, Flitz and superglue have improved its looks. Sadly the tip needed reshaping. It isn’t perfect but…..
I would appreciate knowing the name for this knife shape and the approximate date of manufacture. Thanks in advance for any information.

It’s a knife that feels good in your hand. I forgot to mention that it has brass liners and half stops.
Closed = 3 & 11/16” Open = 6 & 1/4”
It is remarkably similar to the Henry Sears knife on the right in the photo from Levine’s 4th Ed page 287.

Jumping back a few posts to my find….
Re: pattern
Actually sitting down and reading Levine’s Guide (what a concept
) proved the value of having the 4th edition. My knife is described as a swell-centered serpentine or Eureka style cattle knife. The 3 springs make it somewhat special.
Re:age
Vintage but not as old as dirt.

That's a cool Linder. I have this 4 blade "JUNKERWERK", Ohligs, Germany, that I believe is also a Linder knife. Houston Price gives both names in his listing for Linder. The shields are identical. Great bone scales left "proud" at the bolsters. Maybe they're cousins.

MT-V: Forgot to add, 1887--now. Hard to date it within that time span. Mine is tight and snappy with half-stops on all four blades. J.O.

So I walked into the local Ponder Hardware store and was greeted by Eddie the "Hardware Man." He told me they had received some new CASE knives in on Wednesday to which I said lets see them Eddie. Eddie then told me that these were the only two in red that they had received to which I answered, Eddie I'm going to buy both of them and now you don't have that problem anymore. Eddie the hardware man smiled real big....

Hi John,
You might already know this bit of information but just incase you didn't, I noticed the "Ohligs" in your knife stamp. That is a part of the greater city area of Solingen Germany. Just thought I'd mention it. You can find it and Linder both mentioned on WIKIPEDIA.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solingen
Great looking find by the way.
