It is a Gebr berns solingen pocket knife. Got it in a flea market near Munich a very long time ago.

No doubt it is a china knife. The John Deere version I have says china on it. They are not bad actually. If I loose it I am not heart broken.
I also have the SOG. Used these for years. I hate the safety catch so I removed mine. I especially like how you can reverse the clip for us leftys. Spring assist, so it flicks open very easily. Good steel, too.

How do you remove it?

I'll have to ask him. There were a few models that were a good brand for sure. They are sort of the "marketing stuff" category though, like watches, water bottles, bikes, t shirts, etc.

Probably wasn't the pin that caused the problem, it was the grenade it belonged in.Here are some that are in my desk. Seems I keep getting them as gifts.. The one I carry most is far right, middle.. it was actually stamped John Deere but it is a Smith and Wesson I believe.. Never had I a problem taking a knife with me on holiday while packed in my checked in luggage but i once forgot the pin from a grenade in a pair of trousers and that caused a lock down of sorts.View attachment 536836

That was the first question they asked. A friends dad has a box full of the rings and pins. I thought to use it as a key ring as they are quite strong.

I carry the exact same tools! The Leatherman is EDC...I can't go without it. The Leek I keep scary sharp and carry it when I go out. I love how slim the profile is and how easily it deploys. The Sandvik 14c28N steel takes the finest edge I have ever seen.
My EDC is a Leatherman Wingman. I've learned to NEVER leave home without it. If I do, I always regret it. A few weeks ago I left my house and I had no idea that in 2 hours I would be up a 10-foot ladder installing a ceiling fan. Fortunately, I had my Wingman on my belt, which had all the tools I needed to get the job done. That's a little on the extreme end, but it isn't that unusual. Most of the time I find myself using it to tighten screws or nuts, open boxes, etc. but it does get used several times a day.

I just can't pull the trigger on an expensive knife. I lose them too often. Right now I alternate back and forth between these two, depending on which I can find at the time.

Back when I was young, I had a Boy Scout pocket knife. Made the mistake of having it with me when I went off to army boot camp. Never saw the knife again. They wouldn't even let me ship it home. When I do carry a knife now, it is a swiss army knife.
I had one too. lost mine at a 4th of july fireworks a few months after I got it in the 80's. I still think about it now and then, damn well made knife.
I should carry one of the dozens of knives I have collected over the years. Some cheap, some expensive, but I Carry utility knives now for work, mine is a kobalt folder I picked up last Christmas for cheap it seems to be holding up well.

For the last two years I've been carrying a BlizeTec. Nothing fancy cost about $35 It's a little bulky in the pocket but I've grown used to it and feel naked without it. It has a mini light with magnet base, a fire starter, seat belt cutter and window breaker...and I've learned the seat belt cutter is a fine bottle opener.
I have carried a Buck 309 Companion for years.

Remove the set screws to open it up, and take out the parts. Careful though - it's easy to accidentally pop out the spring and other things that should remain. Not tough to put it back together properly, though.
