Special Feature - Carl Schlieper Vintage Gentleman's Knife Goes to Havana - Blade with Eye Brand

Friends of vintage Solingen pocket knives with a history will be in for a treat. Here I offer you a vintage gentleman's knife with metal embossed scales from the Carl Schlieper company. The main blade is stamped with the Schlieper "Eye Brand."

This vintage Schlieper knife, embossed with "Cuchillos y Tijeras de alta calidad" (High-Quality Knives and Scissors), is a solid folding knife made in Solingen, produced for the Spanish-speaking market. The inscription is in Spanish and translates to "Knives and scissors of high quality." This is a typical advertising feature of the Carl Schlieper company, emphasizing the high quality of Solingen craftsmanship.

This is a typical advertising feature of the Carl Schlieper company, used to emphasize the high quality of Solingen craftsmanship. On the back, you'll find a company address used for advertising (J. Garcia Benietz E Hijo, comisiones y representaciones; call 23 no 1558 telf.f-5952, vedado). I ran this through AI and entered the address into Google Maps. A picture shows what it looks like there today. Schlieper exported data all the way to Havana. Here's the data from the AI.

• j. Garcia Benietz E Hijo: The company name, presumably "J. Garcia Benietz and Son."
• comisiones y representaciones: This means "representations and commissions" (sales agency).
• call 23 no 1558 telf.f-5952, vedado: The address in Havana, Cuba. "Call 23" is 23rd Street, number 1558, in the Vedado district. The phone number was F-5952.
• Export model: The knife was clearly intended for the Cuban or at least Spanish-speaking Caribbean market and was distributed by this specific dealer.

Handle length: approx. 78mm
