Re: Mystery knife
Ay a better look at it Capt it could well be a large Ferry did you ever use a Ferry around Copenhagen Denmark??
Possibly after a few Ales it took your fancy LOL
I know I had done that sort of thing a few times! Many others here I bet as well.

Re: Mystery knife
Could well have been a souvenir knife, have seen similar on some ships sold as letter openers.

Re: Mystery knife
Indeed John
That was my first thought on seeing the Knife ,looks a definite letter Opener as used by Ships Staff possibly the Captain ~
Have trawled the Net but so far nothing except that the Ship I feel by looking at so many Pics is for sure a Ferry of Copenhagen or around there!
