What a cool thread! There are some really nice/interesting knives in these pages.

My contribution is a Boker Plus miny tech tool 4 with copper covers. Attached to a not-so-traditional RovyVon copper flashlight.

That's nice Joel, I've had several of the larger models, and looked at the others, but I've not seen a copper model before

This one lives in the coin tray on my desk.
A fun gift from my friend Jack Black

Sewing machine (Pfaff) advertising gift my dad carried sometimes.

That's great that you have a knife your father carried.
Here's a fancy one from Pfaff:

It's interesting which types of businesses tended to put their advertising on knives. It makes sense for sewing machines, since you always have threads to cut.

Here's another I forgot. About 8-10 (?) years after those I posted above. Another from my long gone youth.

That's a real beauty Rachel

I have one of those too Rich, though not from my youth, it was a gift from Charlie @waynorth about 5 years ago

Rather poor photo I'm afraid

It is a good sturdy knife. I think (?) it was made for the scout mess kit, although I later found one with no scout shield so I guess the pattern was made for general sales also. So many boxes/knives, so few cerebral neurons

Thanks Jack Black - With the copper you won’t forget its in you pocket, but it’s not likely to slip out of the pocket unnoticed.

Cool knife Rachel I see a corkscrew, is there a main spear and cap lifter? Looks like a pen blade but I'm hoping for the cap lifter

Mine was an eBay find. Both my daughters were Girl Scouts, and since I own several “Boys Knives” I thought it only fair to add this one to the collection.

Sorry. It's just a pen blade.

Carrying this slim Vic Bantam today

Very nice. What more does anyone need?
I'd forgotten this one:

Unmarked, but it's an Argentinian shaped handle.

 

[the-accumulator]

And now for something totally different:



I don't know, but maybe a WWII Japanese pilot's propaganda knife? Anybody know more? T-A

Thanks Jer, it's a very slim package I was thinking of carrying my solitary Punale today. Cool knife buddy

Banzai! Interesting knife, with that spike and can-opener, my guess would be European, but what does the writing actually say?

 

[Just Tom.]

 

[the-accumulator]

what does the writing actually say?

"CONTRAST AND SUPERIOR QUALITY BEST STEELING KNIFE"
Must have been written by someone for whom English was not their first language.
The overall shape is that of the fuselage of a plane, with images of a plane and the rising sun on the reverse side. Build design and quality make me think of mid-20th century Japanese imports. T-A

Yes, that reminds me of my Hongjie Super Knife!

I was thinking of post-WW2 France, or maybe Germany, mainly based on the design of the tools, but perhaps you're right Certainly an interesting piece
