    Description

    If you need more info on this or any of my listings, please email me with questions or for additional photos.
    TOTAL NUMBER OF KNIVES :  1
    MAKER :   German Eye Brand by Carl Schlieper
    PATTERN :   In the Schlieper catalogs this pattern is called The Muleteer.
    CLOSED LENGTH :   3 7/8th inches long.
    HANDLES :   Worm grooved bone with no cracks and no chips. The pins are peened, not spun.
    TANG STAMPS :   The tangs of both blades are stamped with the oldest stamp, CARL SCHLIEPER (over) SOLINGEN (over) GERMANY. This is called the 'Straight Line Stamp'.
    CONDITION :   Never carried, used, sharpened or cleaned. This is carbon steel and there is one slight stain that I doubt will show on the photos.
    BOX:   None
    DAMAGE :   None
    AGE :   This may well be the oldest Eye Brand knife I have had. There is worm grooved bone, there is a really big kick on the pen blade and there is no Eye Logo or etch on the knife. It is clearly an early Schlieper knife, maybe from the early 1930s, as I believe that is when the big kicks on blades began to disappear.
    COUNTRY OF ORIGIN :   Germany
    BLADE WEAR :   None
    SHIELD AND BLADE ETCH :   Has neither.
    SNAP :   Excellent on both blades, opening and closing.
    ADDITIONAL INFO :   Not a showy knife but an old one and very solid one.

    If my description includes any bone handles or such, per eBay's rules, I must declare that the bone used on this knife was acquired from cattle (colloquially cows). Member of the subfamily Bovinae. Genus: Bos.  Most commonly classified collectively as Bos primigenous.
