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

Friends of vintage Solingen pocket knives with a history will now find something truly special. 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." Unlike other Schlieper embossed knives, the main scales here are stamped with "CS Remscheid / Solingen." And on the smaller blade, Solingen is stamped, along with a logo that I don't recognize.

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
