All of this detective work is just another way to enjoy the hobby of knife collecting. I certainly enjoy, the hunt for the history of this knife and other knives also. Our Manager, Steve Hanner, has figured out the orgin of quite a few knives. Lets see what he has to say.

I checked out that site Tobias. I must say those knives are the closest to what I have than anything else I've seen. Now I really am more curious as to what the heck I have! Thanks for hooking me up with that site. maybe they'll be more familiar with it.

I've  heard the pattern called a butler angler' knife or a gent's angler knife.

The corkscrew and label cutter blades are there for after the fishing.  The other blades, (scissors, pen like punch and scissors) is for making lures. and then the standard blades of a pen knife.    Russian, huh?   That could be interesting.

The hooked or curved knife blade, I think is for cutting the wrapping on top of a wine bottle. The knife seems really nice and in great shape. It looks like everyones guess, is that it's European.

A friend of mine who was in counter-intelligence during the Cold War said the few symbols that are on the knife are a set or series number and they are Russian which leads me down the Russian rabbit trail.

Chuck...

My guess is a German, French or maybe Swiss gentleman's knife.  I see the cork screw for the wine consumption and the bottle opener/fruit knife, letter opener and light duty punch.  The scissors look a great deal like the Victorinox style.  Tobias has a good idea about the fly fisherman's knife.  Let us know if you find out anything on this one.

Good guess. Maybe  blade  for tying nail knots?

It looks like an English or German Gentlemans/fly fisher knife.  The lack of markings makes me think England.

This is very interesting. The hook shape lifter/opener(?)I don't know what that  is, but  it sure looks like a good one .

Does anyone have an idea where this knife came from and/or who made it?? No tang stamps.
