My little Paul A Henckel knife that I use for wood carving .Not sure how old it is just know its been around for a lot of years
 
I had one similar to that joe when I was about 8. But the part we’re talking about, it had a little hammer half ball on it.... if I remember rightly it was for cracking shellfish. It was a bit more slimline than yours tho
 
Very nice Joe........looks well made :thumbsup:

Thought the same as John when I first looked....pipe knife of sorts.
Be interested to see what Mike thinks :)

If anyone has the answer it'll be him Bill
 
I'm pretty sure that particular blade is just for cleaning your nails with Joe. The same idea carried over into the officer Swiss Army Knives. I have a German "personal care" tool which has the same design of tool. I'll dig it out and photograph it.
I particularly like the engine turned milling on the stainless steel scales of your knife Joe, it looks to be in great condition. No major scratches and the blades look like they're in pretty original shape. Any estimate of age would just be a wild guess on my part but I'd think it looks at least 50 years old but there were makers doing similar designs to that between the wars.. Did you pick it up on your travels during the time you served?

I found it in a box of junk after Wendy's dad died Mike
 
Well that lacks the romance of using it to save your own life and the lives of your pals during some swashbuckling adventure in a Cairo brothel...😶
