A Strong Pocket Knife
on: July 11, 2010, 08:28:01 PM
... well that's apparantly how they were advertized in the 50s, but it seems to have a much earlier heritage.  This nicely scaled 100mm knife has quite the sharp sacking needle, the ancestor to the Marlinspike.  The lighter scales and nickle-silver bolsters make this a nice looking knife.  It's still in very good shape, just needs a bit of cleaning and a sharpening.

That's a bit of a find :tu:

I've seen pictures of them before but never anything from that line in the flesh.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

Rest is not idleness,
and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day,
listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky,
is by no means a waste of time

It looks really old.  50's maybe?

Probably much earlier.  The Tang stamp is one of the undocumented ones in most of the official vic stuff it looks like, and where talking Carbon steel.
