Here's one I can't seem to find any info on, even from BRL:

"Amsterdam" tang stamp (Dutch?) Military Knife:

It appears to be a similar to a British WWII knife. The bottle opener first appeared on the can opener attachment in 1945. These were made after the War aswell. Your knife does not have the integral screwdriver at the end.

Thanks, S-K. It'd be nice to know more about it but info is scarce. The friend that sent it to me (a flea market find) is from The Netherlands so "Amsterdam" seemed to imply Dutch manufacture or service. Then again, who knows?
 
Now this one,is mine.
Here's a few things I do know about it
I knew,when I bid on it on the "Bay" it was not a fake,and,
despite it's condition,I can't believe the firm perfect snap on the main blade,and no blade wobble

Paperwork with that,too.Really impressive Charlie,wow! So witch wood is it,the Cocoa or Ebony ?
 
Charlie,let's say,as long as the knife is older than the person posting it,that's old enough,OK?

So the ones I show will have to be at least pre-1969 from now on. :D ;)

Have you checked with the AARP Legal Staff about this rule? :p
 
popsy it's un - official,bona fide,but un-official
 
The LaBelle's ebony Vince! I like your "older than the poster" rule, but it does make it tough on us ancient ones:eek:! The LaBelle barely makes it;)
Now let's see how old you guys really are!!!:D
 
No way,I knew,when I bid on it on the "Bay" it was a fake

Vince what about the knife is fake? It has me fooled.
 
So this one is older than I am by at least one year (probably more), as they changed stampings ca.1943 from Schrade Cut Co. like this one, to Schrade Walden.

I like those old hawkbill prunning knives. This Harrison Bros and Howson is definitely older than me. Waynorth I have an English version of your Schrade budding/prunning knife. Will post it this evening.

Larry, lol young man. I was actually implying the old "I'm still 39" rule. Pre-1950 would be more factual for yours truly. :)

I think I only have one knife that is pre-1950. It's been shown in this forum before, but I'll bring it in to this thread as it will be more at home here.
