Robert Enders Two-Blade Bird & Trout, Jigged Bone, Slip-Joint Knife

Windy City Knives recently acquired a relatively large collection of single and multi-blade slip-joint folders, all made by the late Robert "Bob" Enders of Cement City, MI.  They came from a life-long collection of knives that were well-taken care of, and properly stored.  There are varying patterns, and in general, are all in excellent condition.  They have all been inspected and checked for fit, finish, functionality and condition.  Please take the time to carefully read the complete description of each.  Bob Enders passed away in December 1999.  His knives have become very desirable, and highly collectible.

 

This is a Bob Enders Bird and Trout or Slim Trapper, two-blade, slip-joint, knife.  The main blade is a clip point, and the other is a pen blade.  The highly polished blade steels are most likely ATS 34, a stainless steel often used by Mr. Enders.  The main blade is marked "R. Enders Maker" inside the outline of the state of Michigan.  The front bolster and liners, are most likely nickel silver.  The handle scales are amber jigged bone, both in perfect condition.  The blades open with nail nicks, and each has a soft half-stop.  The pull is easy and smooth, and each blade closes with a snap.  Both blades have a slight "tick" side-to-side, if you try hard.  There is a center liner.  Both blades appear to be well centered between their respective liners.  I was able to pass a crisp $1.00 bill on both sides of both blades.  If you look hard enough, you'll find some stray micro scratches on the blades.  The liners are not relieved.  It has never been used, carried or sharpened.  The bolster is in excellent condition, with nothing more than some wispy storage marks and patina from age.  This is a solid knife, and a great EDC.  There is no case.  The knife will come securely packaged.  The shadows seen on the blades are creases from the light tent, reflecting on the polished blade finish.
