My Wee Fraulein/Knife

[MultiMat]

With the current financial chaos we find are selves in & the subsequent nose diving Aus$ , I have had to do the unthinkable & look at buying my MT's locally . Unthinkable previously due to them being way over priced, smaller range & not as good quality as those I get from the US  . Anyways I picked up a slightly unusual MT from a Oz Ebay seller . He sells a lot of knives & I figured if I am going to pay a little more for a tool I might as well take advantage of the sellers generous combined postage  & buy a second little something  . The little something being this little German folder.When I got it I was a little disappointed in its condition , with quite a few marks on it  . The seller had managed to miss all the marks in his pics

Although my pic does not show it , the mark nearest the blade was the worst. The knife's condition gave me a good reason to get some Brasso polish . After a bath , scrub & a Brasso manicure the Fraulein has come up very nicely

Things I like about my new German friend: She is well made , I love the Gold inserts would it be brass ?, seems to almost be new . Thing I am not so keen on the combi blade . If some one could tell me about the markings on the blade : Stainless Rostfrel , Solingen Germany (I believe this is a well known Knife making region in Germany)
On the handle it has , Hillcrest Angus Coeur d'Alene,ID. Angus seems to be the bull pictured.
The knife cost me the equivalent to $10.50US & it still had some protective plastic under it's pocket clip. It might be a cheap knife but I like her

I'm pretty sure I've had something similar a looong time ago

You need to get one of your Domestic (well N.Z) Svord knives

I have a similar looking knife. However, I only spent $10 and it came with a big and small folder.

Nikko that's not what you are ment to say , ya needed to say something like " It was made for the Kaiser just before WWI "    . Oh well I still like it , it is nice to clean/polish something up so it looks new.

Yeah, the set I have are cheap POS.. But, yours is quality! It looks as if it was made for the Kaiser just before WWI even!
