a neat little knife

[sappyg]

i've had this little thing for years and never seen another like it an i want to share it with you guys. it has a inique (to me). folding feature. the blade is a little over 1 1/2" and of carbon steel. the blade cover is about 2" and appears to be brass that is plated in a silver mettle. the overall length when closed is 2 1/2" and roughly 4 1/2" when open. there are no markings on the blade but the handle has: Carolina Gas & Oil C0.... Dan H. McCachern (?) on one side and J. W. DeYoung on the other. i feelthat it was carried and likely used by Mr. DeYoung and that it must have been a gift to him from Carolina Gas & Oil Co.
check it out.

AG Russell has had a model like that for sell for several years now; however, your knife is one of the originals on which the remake was modeled.

[Edit:  Found the contemporary model:  http://www.agrussell.com/ag-russell-funny-folder-aluminum-and-aus-8/p/RUShhhFF3AL/]

That's a neat little knife.  Not seen anything like it over here.

Do want!

Ooh, A.G. Russell has a titanium and ATS-34 model.

thanks for tha link sazabi... the non Ti version look like a good substitute for the Carolina knife.
i've always wanted to carry it but it is too special for some reason. the russell looks like a good alternative. i wish i could get one in carbon. that would be nice.

It is a neat little knife and fits nicely inside a tin.

Thanks for sharing that knife Sappyg.  I'd never seen it before you and the guys posted the link to A.G.
It's a beaut and a collectible for sure.

Those are nice little knifes i bought one at a gun show in Boise about a month ago. When i was kid in the 60s and 70s those knifes were give aways. My dad was a auto mechanic tool truck and automotive additive guys would give those away with their logos on them.
