DOVO-Scale-Mod
on: May 14, 2012, 08:30:11 PM
I made scales for a DOVO pocket knife from stabilized and dyed maple wood. The multi-blade-knife is comparable to a Vic Executive regarding the size and tools.

But there are variations: the orange peeler cannot be used as a screwdriver. But the nail cleaner/file has integrated an aditional cap lifter! Further tools are large and small blade and scissors. The quality is by and large also comparable to the Vic counterpart. The springs are a little bit less strong, and the sharpness of the blades is improvable. I like the more "angular" shape of the DOVO-model.

DOVO is a firm from Solingen, today known above all for producing tradtional straight razors. From 1968 to 2001 or so it also produced pocket knives.







The knife was produced with a variety of scales: Metal with guilloche or satined, red plastic. The white pearl knife is quasi a preceding model by Hartkopf & Co which was acquired by DOVO in 1968.

I love the look of this knife. And the scales are beautiful too.  :tu:

Where could one get such a knife and at what price, stainless or plastic? I just checked German eBay and there aren't any. I always wished the Executive had a bottle opener. This is just  :gimme:

enki_ck, Rödter Messer has a good selection: http://www.scharferladen.de/shop/taschenmesser-teufelskerle-messer-1973-c-22_78_350.html

Thanks for the link. I bookmarked it. Some interesting knives there. None of this tool setup but I get an idea on the price. They overcharge for the shipping though. 30€ shipping for a small pocketknife. :ahhh
