Latest find is this old J.A.Henckels single blade lockback folder with stag handle.
My guess would be early 20th century.

Fine looking example. It don't look much used, either. Blade looks pretty full.
Are you going to use it to field dress and peel any of the critters you harvest this fall?

I like the looks of this one, beautiful stag, looks to be pretty good sized too. Nice find!

I wish i could go hunting once in a while, but i live in a globalist/communist run country where both firearms and hunting permits are very difficult if not impossible to obtain, unless you're part of the self-appointed elite.

Apparently this knife once belonged to a German WW1 soldier, but it's of course like Bernard Levine always says: "buy the knife, not the story".

This is how it currently looks btw.
The pins holding the knife together were worn to a point that the opened knife resembled a baby's rattler, so i'm in the process of making new ones (~2,6 mm) from a similar malleable steel like the old ones were.
The 2,5 mm drill bits just hold the parts together for the pics.

Nice! Can't wait to see the "after" pics.

Appoint yourself!
