Dear Andy,

I have both thicknesses of this card box. In my case they are made of German silver (nickel silver) which is made up of copper, nickel and zinc. It looks very much like silver but actually doesn’t have any silver in it.

They are the nicest card boxes I’ve ever used, silver or not. I hope this helps.

From the pictures, these look like Merrill knives made by Al Cohen. I understand that Al bought the rights from Merrill. Al’s knives have brass ends while the original Merrill knives were a silver colored metal. The first batch Al had made were fantastic and as good as the original Merrill’s. Later batches weren’t as well made.

I like these better than the Mogar knives because they have metal at both ends, eliminating the possibility of flashing, and they look more like a regular pocket knife (which they are) than the Mogars.
