I always wanted one of the knives with a square hole for an acetylene valve. They were for the old cars that had acetylene head lights.
They really didn’t use those headlights very long, so there are not that many of the knives out there. Plus they are hard to search for. “Knife with square hole”. Brings up mostly food processor blades and such.
Anyway I rescued a Syracuse Cutlery Beer Scout. After cleaning it up and adjusting the kick. I decided it was going to be my Acetylene knife.
I don’t have any acetylene headlamps, but as a plumber and a welder I thought this would be a good way to always have a spare acetylene wrench on me.
If anyone has an original I’d love to see it.
