Vintage Camp Knife ~

This is an old camp knife with " Made in Germany" stamped on main blade. It has 5 blades , that includes cork screw. It may be post-'64 because you don't usually see "Made in" before "Germany" but '64 is when all knives coming into the US had to be marked so they may have taken the requirement very literally. The handle material is unknown, but it is not stag. It does not appear to have been sharpened or used very much, but has some patina consistent with age.

• Condition is excellent
