Hello All, I like minty daggers just as much as the next guy, but I think there's a lot to be said for the ones that show period use and have been uncleaned and relegated to the desk or underwear drawer since '45. Here is just such a dagger and it's a scarce one, C+R Linder. Tom Johnson described the logo as a "crowned paring knife", but I'm not sure what exactly it is. Any opinions? Thanks for looking, Leipzig

That is a paring knife used to pare back vines and fruit trees that are trained along fences. I forget the technical term. Common in Europe.

Check the length of the blade.

Can you believe it! This company is still in business. Maybe they even still sell one of those old paring knifes. Better yet, maybe then can tell us what this logo knife really is.

I always have thought that the marker was of a Skinning knife or a hawkbill knife used for pruning and now used for electrical work. I don't know if thats right but thats the first thing I saw when I saw the marker for the first time.

Thanks for the responses!
Dave, the blade is full length, 220 m/m. The very tip had been rounded just a tad.
M.E.E., the bottom knife in your pic is the first thing I thought of when I first saw the logo! Regards, Leipzig
