construction

The model no. 54 is a double layer pocket knife. The first tier is identical to that of Model No. 50, with a back spring around which a large and small blade move. The second layer consists of the scissors with back spring. The back spring is continuous and forms a closure with the bowl/liner at the pocket knife foot. It also serves as a support point for the scissors when closed, similar to model no. 50/1. With scales made of mother-of-pearl, the central rivet remains hidden under the scale, while with other materials it is visible.

scale material

Horn, mother-of-pearl, tortoise scale, engine-turned steel, black oxidized steel and celluloid/ cellidor in imitation mother-of-pearl were used as the scale material.

liners

The liners, rivets and intermediate layers are made of nickel silver.
