No. 293 - No. 295

history

The models no. 293, no. 294 and no. 295 are 2-piece pocket knives from the series, each with 2 cutting blades. The upper blade always remained the same, while the lower 2nd cutting blade was used differently.

The models are identical in construction to models no. 285, no. 286 and no. 287, except that there were no bark removers. These 2-piece pocket knives were only produced in very small numbers between around 1930 and 1950 and are correspondingly rare today. Apparently, many gardening professionals preferred a pocket knife that also had the bark remover integrated.
