Pretty cool old hobo knife you have there WilkBury! :tu: Any idea how old it is? They made knives very similar to yours as far back as the late 1800's :)

@ Mr. Whippy: it is quite robust, thanks!  :tu:

@ Mike: thanks for the info - I did not know that it is called a hobo knife  :o I thought it was some  'freak of nature' among pocket knives...  :ahhh But today did some Google-research and found something similar:
fork style:

fork style and assembling system:


@ Screwtape: I like the styling of the fork too!  :D

@ J-sews: I do not know how old it is. In fact I have never thought about its age before. :think: I have found it at an old house attic (hose was built circa 1928) about 12 years ago. Unfortunately it bears no inscriptions bur one - letter on the inner side of the fork handle:

Maybe it is a 'B' or Greek  'π' or Russian 'T' - hard to say  :think:  :think:

@ thebullfrog: thanks!

@ Turnstone: thanks, I have tried to do my best with my cell phone camera!
