Hi there. A friend of mine recently found a Rolex pocket knife. We've been searching for information about it, but the only thing we've found is an old thread with very little information.

I'd be greatful for any information anyone could provide (correct name, rough date of manufacture etc.)

Thanks,
Guy

Nice find. Probably a AD giveaway at some point in time.

This is a Henkels made knife (Solingen, Germany)The era is 1960 to early 1980.

Thanks for the info! As I said, we were at a bit of a loss trying to find anything out about it.

The blade is supposed to lock back in, but at the moment it doesn't fold all the way back. I'll probably have a go at fixing it at some point, but given it's scarcity the internet isn't exactly awash with guides on how to do so.

I'd imagine Henkel made a similar non-Rolex branded knife at some point, so I'l have a look around.
