Folding Wheelwright Knife? Circa 1960's Unknown Maker 5-1/2" Closed 90 Degree Karambit Blade
Interesting knife to say the least with a Karambit Blade that has two positions which opens to a 45 and 90 degree angle to the knife body. The Spokeshave Blade or Draw Knife Blade has 4 Positions and opens fully. The Saw Blade has 3 Positions and is a monolithic constructed blade that's 1/32" Thick. Tireless Research has yielded no definitive answers as to the maker or intended use. Area's researched included, Wheelwright's Knife, Post and Rung Chairmakers Knife, Barrel Maker's Knife, Cooper Knife, Shipwright's Knife, Cobbler's Knife, Spokeshave Knife, Leather Workers Knife, Gunsmiths Knife, Clockmakers Knife,Flooring Knife, Mushroom Knife, Cane Makers Knife, Chair Makers Knife and the list continues. If anyone has any information about this mystery knife please chime in. It measures 5-1/2" Closed and has endless uses.

Hi Mr. Bamford
Yes it is and I've searched high and low for answers. When I first laid eyes on it I thought to myself "Man what a cool knife for making a walking cane" and apparently I've narrowed down the blade types which is super important but I've yet to find another similar knife. This is a fairly big and bulky knife, it's very solid and works perfect but what keeps throwing me is that Karambit blade and how it only opens to 90 degree angle to the body. I keep asking myself "What in god's creation could this be designed for"
