Neft Safety Knife

1920

1950

Safety Knife made by Neft. The blade is a double sided and non—serrated. Text engraved on one side of the blade reads: "IMPROVED NEFT SAFETY HUNTER". The words "NEFT" and "SAFETY" are around an illustration of a dog, which is facing the word "IMPROVED". The handle of the knife is metal with black plastic grips. At the end of the handle has a moveable metal loop. There is a thumb block on the handle at the start of the blade with ridges for grips. The two black plastic grips has bumps to improve grip and has text reading "NEFT \ SAFETY \ KNIFE" surrounded by a circle. On one of the plastic grips there is a metal piece in the shape of a shield. This piece acts as a release trigger that opens the handle. The blade swivels and can be stored in the handle.

Text on the blade, hidden by the handle when closed, reads: "NEFT SAFETY KNIFE \ STYLE N91 \ MADE IN \ U.S.A.". Text on the inside of the handle reads: "SAFETY \ TRADEMARK \ NEFT NIFE \ U.S. PAT. NOV. 9 1920 \ FOREIGN PATENTS".
