construction

The models no. 306 - 308 are 2-layer pocket knives. The top layer contains the screwdriver and the small cutting blade/narrow screwdriver, the bottom layer contains the large cutting blade and the awl. The head rivet made of nickel silver, together with the 2 jaws, fixes the screwdriver and the large cutting blade; the foot rivet the small cutting blade/narrow screwdriver as well as the awl and a spacer. The center rivet is used to fix the two scale parts and the back springs.

scale material

Fiber red in particular was used as the scale material. At times the models are also available with scales in horn and staghorn.

Liners/spacers/rivets

When carbon steel was used, the sinkers and rivets were steel; in the case of tools made of stainless steel, the liners and rivets are made of brass, with the head rivet and the jaws always being made of nickel silver and the intermediate layer made of brass. At the very beginning there were also models with steel jaws/liners.
