All pen knives in the past century didn't fold
Number 3 here is the well-known Swiss made Victorinox that is now available worldwide. Number 2 is a penknife whose blade
has reduced by at least an inch. It lay almost unused in a toolbox for several decades. On it was engraved Made in Germany and a goat engraved on it. I was familiar with the goat on the blade of pocket knives in the past but they were all locally made, in or around Lucknow.
Recently, I googled Goat brand pocket knives and was surprised to find a wide collection of old knives of the same brand of English make!
The knife at no. 1 is an original fixed blade pen knife of unknown vintage. They were used to trim reed dip pens
and this one came to me from an uncle.
