Thread: New Guy Looking for Some Knowledge

I just filled in my intro in the FNG thread, so I thought I'd drop a line in here too.

I bought a F.A. Koch & Co Faultless blade off eBay last week. It looks nice, seems to be in good shape. Of course it will need sharpening. But I'm trying to find out more about the company, and the style of blade this is. As you can see, it's not a straight or rounded point. I've seen a few of these style, but can't find a name.

About all I CAN figure out is that this company went out of business sometime around 1933. If it really is an 80 year old blade, it's in fantastic shape! The scales are plastic, which was not unexpected. There is no significant pitting and there are no chips on the edge. For $20, I think I got a good deal.

So anything you guys can tell me would be greatly appreciated.
