new find
« 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.

Nice pliers you got there. I have never seen one with handles like that.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

I have a pliers like that. From the 50's I believe. Seem to be more common then I first thought.
Of all the things I've lost , I miss my mind the most
