All About Pocket Knives

Let`s see your American, European or Foreign Multi-blade folding knives.

Here is one I have, it is a stag handle sportsman`s knife. It even comes in it`s original leather purse.

It is almost 4" closed. Very well made knife

That's a great looking knife, Dimitri. I don't know if I have anything close to that.

I'll have to poke around in my stuff.

Great idea for a thread, and a fine knife to lead it off, M.B. I only have one that meets the criteria, and that is only if you consider the file to be a blade. This Morley is a classic example of central European knifemaking. Like the Gebr. Muller, it exudes old world craftsmanship. The number of hand steps that must have been taken to make this detailed and well-fitted old knife are something that we don't see in factory, or even most custom, knives today. W.H. Morley and Sons were imported by A. Kastor of Camillus fame from 1913 to 1927. They were made in Germany and Bohemia, which was part of the Austrian Empire until the end of World War I, and afterward was the independent state of Czechoslovakia. This knife shows that even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then, as I picked it up off ebay for a song without even really knowing what it was.

Thanks guys

Sure is a blade, it is called a manicure blade

Nice find Trail!

Well the title covers just about all my knives, but I'll only list two: First is an Anton Wingen, Jr. and second is F.W. Jordan

MB... do you have any info. on the Gebr Muller? I own one too and can not find out anything about it.

Tim,

Post a picture of it here

I am still researching the company. I believe they started in business in 1904.

Located in Remscheid Germany, they made knives and scissors.

MB...here she is.....This is one well made knife.....

Tim

Very nice

All their knives I have seen were well made

Here's a few:

Nice ones Ray

Who is the maker of that stag handle 6-blade?

Dimitri:
If you are referring to the one in the 1st picture(it is actually jigged bone)there is a front view of a fox's head and it says Solingen on the back of the tang.
The stag scaled horseman's knife is marked Dickinson E(crown)M Sheffield.
The 8 bladed knife is somewhat of a mystery.It has what appear to be British military marks repeated over and over on all the blades;the scales are machine engraved in a repeating zig-zag pattern and while there is no spring resistance to any of the blades,where the tang meets the backspring each blade is cut at a different angle and there is little to no gap between them when the blades are opened.
I got the knife on e-Bay awhile ago very cheap and have no clue as to it's origin.I thought it might be Indian or some other British colony and possibly be military but haven't found any info on it as yet.

Great start here is one more.

here is a German made Noxin

Yes, that is the one



Keep `em coming guys

Here's another with the Fox head. I used to know the maker but it alludes me at the moment. I'll see what I can find.

^^ That is an elegant old knife

Thanks for the information Gringo

One more to start the day.

This is a Wostenholm Horseman`s knife pre 1891 vintage.

Another old Horseman's knife.
TAYLOR'S "EYE WITNESS"

I like the old Horseman patterns guys

This is a nice old Sheffield multi-tool to keep things ticking along. It is a somewhat unusual pattern in that the corkscrew has a thick tang that rides on both springs

Steve,

That is a beautiful knife

The stag handles are awesome

I haven't gotten out much lately but picked this up from an antiques dealer that sets them aside for me when he comes across them. A few small nicks and chips but in pretty good shape and still has its tooth pick in the handle. IXL Wostenholm

I like it!

Looks like an early model
