Anybody know anything about this knife? ( finished pictures )
FlintWalker:
Had a fella give me this thing today, said it was too ugly for him. ;D He found it in an old wrecked car.
It sure is ugly, but I can see past all the ugly stuff and see the potential for a "pretty" knife. All I gotta do is get rid of all the "ugly" ;D
The handle was some kind of deer foot and was epoxied to the shank (ugly). The blade was covered in surface rust too, but it cleaned up nicely. I plan to attach a nice stag handle and use a thicker piece of brass for the finger guard.
It's stamped Solingen Germany on one side of the blade and has a gloved hand with 3 arrows sticking out of it on the other. I don't recognise this symbol ??? Anybody have any ideas as to the maker or a name?
Did I mess up by taking it apart?

I'm not familiar with the logo, either-but if it's Solingen steel, that's all that matters-it's a good knife.
sailordad:
not that i know
but it may have been sold as a blank and he purchaser put the deer foot on it
but ya,good steel none the less
mullet:
Yep! I've seen them before. The Fork is missing from the set. It is really good steel as you can tell with the Solingen stamp. The set came with the deer feet. They were a fancy carving set I believe from the mid to late fifties.
FlintWalker:
Kinda thought you might know a little something about it Eddie.
I figured it would be good steel too. I've never seen any knife...especially an older one, made from solingen steel that wasn't.
I'll dress it up with a nice Elk or whitetail handle and put it to use.
Wish I knew a name though :-\
