Traditionals from all over the world

[herisson]

A Böker Winzermesser (oak scales made out of old wine barrels). A knife that should always sit in a pocket... I just have that question : why, in this pattern, is the big blade on the small bolster ? (saw it on the Scout knife above, too).

 

[Will Power]

Just a guess but maybe the opener is on the large bolster end due to the extra pressure that gets exerted on that tool, and that it's thicker/wider steel than an ordinary blade? Or maybe it's the layout of the blade wells?

Very nice item mind

Eka Swede 38 from ... Sweden

Great thread with some very interesting international knives.
Here is an older Swedish pearl handled model by "Ahlstrom" with a very unusual corkscrew which pivots sideways and then pulls outward for a longer reach.

Very interesting and good looking knife. Is there a makers stamp and do you know the age, 1970s or 1980s possibly???

The pattern is known in France as Alsacian or Massu (sledgehammer), often with the corkscrew, and a single blade it is also made in Germany. "Garantie" sounds Flemish, so perhaps Belgian or Dutch?

Nice knives.

This pattern is a Fejesgörbe # rounded with head.

I think its german... as far as i know, garantie is either dutch or german.i surges the internet in dutch and german. Found nothing that leads back to a company. Is there something else written on the blade?
I think its german because lkl in german is short for lochkartenlocher. It means something like a card punch. It punches papercard in the day when there were no computers as we know then now.
Its a gues, but maby it means it cuts very well...

Another "garantie":

Another "garantie":

Well... at least the knife gives you a lot of guarantees. Garantie IA in german means Garantie im Auftrag. It means you have a guarantee on behalf of someone.
I'm not german so i dont know if this was common in germany. But maybe someone german can help you understand it...
Good luck!

 

[screened porch]

Thanks. That's more than I knew. Not much use without knowing who's guaranteeing on behalf of whom, but it's probably expired by now anyway.

No problem! It was a pleaure and helpt get my german refreshed. But... no way of being sure... it is possible it means something totally different.
I love those mystery knives!

Lionsteel - Italy- all stainless/titanium construction with Ram's Horn/Mufflon slabs. The finish and execution of the knife are of the highest order, real standard setter. Carries very neatly too, massively surprised by this one!
