Carl Schlieper - German EYE BRAND Knives
Is there any love (like) for Eye Brand knives?
I always liked them and always used to have some in my collection many moons ago. At one time I used to carry a small 3", single blade lockback stag handled Canoe. And I really like that knife. In fact I've always been surprised that there hasn't been a regular group for Eye Brand. Well I like them anywho.
These are not mine. These are from newgraham.com A very good dealer, by the way.

I'm just beginning reading about Eye Brand-Carl Schlieper Knives. I hear the pre-1990 knives are excellent. Tempted to purchase one from the 40's-70's. Have to make sure the knife walks and talks well. I'm a knife user.

Lewis,
Last year the knife world lost an authority on the German Eye Brand knives, Carl Risner. You can read about it here on his grandsons website. Austin was always destined to take over the business and is doing a fine job. He is also a member here.
You are looking at an interesting era in Eye Brand and I have to say 40-60 is one of my favorite times for that company. They produced such very traditional knives with exceptional quality

Purchased in 1967 while in the military, it's been around a long time and still serving me well while hunting or camping. Razor sharp.Not the original sheath.
