Germany "KORTEN" Knives.
Posted: Wed Dec 25, 2024 12:00 am
Yesterday morning, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my first example to be posted under this new topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it definitely turned out to be a keeper. I gladly added this pocket knife to my general, mother of pearl, "foreign born" pocket knife accumulation. It is a KORTEN, two blades, two tang stamps, 2 5/8" closed, a long main blade pull, a long secondary blade pull, a swelled center, one spring, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "KORTEN (over) GERMANY" The secondary blade front tang stamp also says, "KORTEN (over) GERMANY" The main blade does have a GOOD half stop. The main blade does have an OK opening snap. The main blade does have a GOOD closing snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD half stop. The secondary blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD closing snap. I couldn't quite capture the mother of pearl colors. This pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. This pocket knife did NOT need any cleaning. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
