Re: ROMO with faux lock

Yes Sir. That’s quite a collection! It inspired me to see how many slip joint stilettos I have in my collection. I only have five, a 13” ROSCO and R J RICHTER, a 9” ROMO, an 8” LENIK with a false button, and a 6” ROMO with a false button. Your knife collection must be something! I'd love to see pho...

Boker 715

I picked up this older Boker 715 a while back. Compared to the 715Rs and 712Rs it has a carbon steel blade (no R), a longer spring cover, a bail, and the thinnest stag scales I’ve ever seen, which makes the handle about 1/3 thinner than the later 712Rs and 715Rs. Obviously, the blade has numerous da...

German shell puller

A recent acquisition. A German shell puller with the same stamp as the SPRINGER I recently posted about, SOLINGEN CUTLERY over GERMANY. I’m very happy with both. I apologize for the reflections.

German springer

I’ve just received this German SPRINGER. I’ve never seen one like this and have not been able to find any information about it. I think it’s from the 1950s but I don’t really know and I’d like to know who produced it if possible. Any info would be appreciated.
