Okay I have googled it and can't seem to find anything. Is this one a custom carved one?

Nothing that exciting I am afraid its just a Swiss souvenir knife from germany

nice one though :)

  What is that pearl handled, and the one above to it?

That is an oldish french Laguiole ... the three above it are all German copies of the officer knife
and the one immediately below the Laguiole? It has an interesting size and shape.

thx

Thats a french copy of the officer knife the German and the French copies are nice knifes but the original is just a little better bit the french one runs it close :)

Thanks for the info on the spanner (wrench as we would call it).

Think it takes a half-dozen Victorinox to cover all the motifs on that German-made Swiss souvenir knife. More Swiss than the Swiss.  :D

That will take you some time to sort. Nice collection in a box within a collection.  :)

I can think of worse problems :D

You have some lovely vintage stuff there - as others have said, I'd be interested in any sales threads you might post :tu:

Thanks for sharing the details and pictures. Joseph Feist seems to be pre 1924. He also make some cool gun style knives:

Levin's Guide to Knives lists Joseph Feist as active in Solingen from 1864 to the 'present' (1997). Brands/trademarks include Omega (as above), Solidus and Olifant.
