Greetings, gentlemen
Today I'm pleased to share with you my new "old knives" from Ed Wüsthof. These are my first knives from this maker, and I know little about them. I do know that they stopped making folding knives in 1970 and focused entirely on kitchen knives, becoming a direct competitor to Zwilling Henkels. This is an unusual knife for me—it's of excellent quality and comes in a pleasant color scheme. It was most likely intended for those who enjoyed sandwiches with pâté, peanut butter, or jam at picnics or while traveling. Otherwise, why make a folding knife for spreading? Nevertheless, I really liked it. I'll try to date it to the 1960s. Correct me if I'm wrong. Enjoy.
The next knife is a cripple. I bought it out of pity. I always try to buy old knives in excellent or good condition so I don't have to deal with restorers later. Which ends up being more expensive, and also takes a lot of time and stress. But I felt sorry for this poor guy. The main blade is heavily worn, it's playful, and has no markings. It will need to be completely replaced. To close the main blade, you need to press the small blade. It's the locking mechanism. Also, please give me more information about it. Since the blades are stainless steel, I'd guess it was made in the 1950s or 1960s. Enjoy
