The metal inlays showthread
on: May 31, 2020, 08:35:39 PM
I am fascinated by these filigree pieces of metal that are pressed into the plastic scales.

Here for the beginning just a small advertising knife with two different metal inlays with engravings.

Oh sorry, I haven't seen these threads. Few posts, there are millions of inlays. The topic doesn't seem to interest many people.  :-\

Please, I don’t mean for you to apologize! 

I just wanted to show you where some of the other inlay fans were. Few as we may be...

Fantastic collection there, Fiddy!

I’ve only got a couple, one Swiss Air and one from the battle series, 1315 Morgarten which was given to me by the Swiss Foreign Minister in 1991 when I was working on the UK’s help with the Swiss 700th anniversary - a really nice present which inspired me to get a Golfer (now compact) to carry instead of the Master Craftsman/Astronaut I’d carried since 1981. I suppose the 1291 Rütli oath would have been more appropriate, but I suspect they ran out! I’d forgotten all about it until seeing this thread!

Nice, old Swissair inlay, and the battle knives are particularly beautiful, inlay as well as the etching.

 :hatsoff:   Sneider, no personal connection to Geneva, just the knives.  The main blade is also marked:

Christofle
Pavillon de Geneve

I assume the knife was either sold or given away there.  The knife is pre-1973.  Christofle seems to be a bit of a “high end” place.       :cheers:
