Title: new find
Post by: mrchuck on November 26, 2013, 10:03:27 AM

The Knife is a Blackhawk, made in Germany with leather handle. Blade is 3 3/4" long.
Carbon steel, and holds an edge like a razor. The knife experts at a show say it was made in the mid 1940's.
Scabbard is new that I found.

The pair of pliers says made in Germany. The scalloped handles are unique to me.
They look old to me.
After an "evap-orust" soaking, they open and close excellent.
Any idea who made them?

 Those pliers look like some marked made in British zone. Have some but can't find them. Maybe Oxwall ? Search for british zone on tool time for more examples.
