A WOODEN WEDNESDAY WONDER! I wonder what it is??
I found this 6 1/2 inch wooden handled gravity knife at a small-town mid-west antique store several years ago. As found the blade flopped around because the lock mechanism was missing. I recreated the lock according to my best guess as to what it should look like and how it should work. The shiny steel part is my handiwork; the rest of the steel parts of the knife are blued. The only permanent change I made to knife was to remove the broken pin that had previously held the lock. I installed the part I made with a temporary one as I saw no reason to permanently install the part. The fit and finish of the knife suggests to me that it might be pre-WWII, while the blued parts make me think it was intended for military use. Might it have been a pilot's knife similar the 6 inch two-bladed one that fit into a pocket in a survival vest?



As you might have noticed, I did not permanently install the part I made to make further study easy. After owning this behemoth for several years, listing it on Bernard's forum, hunting the web for similar pieces, and showing it around at a knife sshow, I still virtually nothing about its origins. Thanks for watching! T-A

I'm so happy this Wooden Wednesday, since my rotation schedule assigned me THREE wood-hafted knives this week! (Of course, on Saturday, my joy will turn to sorrow since my schedule allocated me ZERO stag this week. )
