Anybody know anything about this knife? ( finished pictures )
Timo:
Seen a set of them sell on ebay last week that had patina and surface rust on them for $2000! :o ;)
mullet:
Timo, I wasn't go say anything about, Patina, but you let the cat out of the bag now. Anyway's the fork is missing.
stickbender:
Yep, they were somewhat common. Like some sort of German hunting lodge set. Good steel though. I remember when I was a kid you could get a solingen steel knife for around ten dollars or less. They were imported, and did not make too much of a fuss, among knife people, but everyone that I knew that had one kept it! ;) I have an old one I picked up at a garage sale. Stag handle. But the deer foot ones also came just by itself, without the fork, I have seen them, when I was a teen ager, in a sheath. I had a set, of stag handle knifes, one was a large somewhat bowie style, with a small skinner on the same sheath, for the bigger knife. plus a sharpening stone. Again great steel. Each of them would shave you. I once bought a knife for five dollars, at a little grocery store, on the street where I used to live west of Lake Worth, Florida, and it had plastic simulated black bone handles scales. BUT,..... the blade was Solingen, and it too would shave you. Too bad those days are gone. I have also seen similar knives with the deer foot handle, advertised, from Poland, and checklosvakia, I believe. But you will have a good knife, once you replace the handle, and finger guard. 8)
Too bad he didn't have the set, and you didn't get on here before cleaning it up...... ::) $2,000.00 for an old set huh? Dang! :o I am going to have to start checking the flea markets again...... :o

I believe 'ol Tim might have been pulling my leg a little about that 2 grand :D I checked the completed listings on ebay and didn't find anything even close to that. In fact, they seem to be pretty common (and cheap)
As best I can tell, it's an "Edge" brand knife and I even saw one that had sold for under $10 a few days ago. Going that cheap, a fella could afford to buy them just to reuse the blades. :o
I'll post a picture of it after I fix it up a little.
Timo:
ME? pulling legs? ;D I wouldn't do that to such a fine lad as yourself now Slickfoot! ;D I was hoping the Eddie would ice the cake a bit, and get you to lookin....Rekon it was sweet enough? ;D
It is good steel boy, I have several old steak knives that I keep in the shop made from that steel.
