Coast Junior Member Joined Feb 24, 2013 Messages 65 Location Oregon Jun 5, 2022 #1 Found this switch blade knife a year or so ago 15in deep next to a well worn trail in the back part of a park. It was wrapped in some kind of cloth that had pretty much rotted away. Might possibly be a 1950’s c.jul herbertz picklock. Attachments 3084BFED-17A0-4965-BE3F-CCEFA1DD654C.jpeg 73.2 KB · Views: 1,138
