Vintage Arnex two-blade pocket knife, marked SOLINGEN GERMANY , featuring raised nude female figures on the metal handle scales.
This is an unusual German novelty or “nudie” pocket knife with a different dimensional female figure on each side. Both blades are manually opened and have plain edges.
• This specific relief depicts a classic Art Deco stylized nude female figure surrounded by floral patterns or scrollwork. While many Arnex knives feature outdoor or transit themes, this figural artistic relief is significantly less common.
• Materials & Construction: It features pressed metal scales (handles)—likely brass or nickel-silver—retaining original structural pins and a dual-blade layout (a larger master pen blade and a smaller secondary blade).
