For a handle with an equally rich, finely carved and biblical pictorial program: see Klaus Marquardt. Europäisches Essbesteck aus acht Jahrhunderten. Stuttgart, 1997. p. 62/63, fig. 167. The knife described in the Marquardt collection is characterized by a large number of matching elements: The hinged ivory elements, the structuring of the pictorial program, the Dutch inscription 'Niet sonder Moete(n)', which translates into English as 'nothing without effort', the occurrence of the same house mark of a maître probably from Amsterdam on the inside of the lid, the dating to the year 1605 (1604 in the item on offer) as well as the hinged pommel plate with turtle attachment. The knife from the Marquardt Collection comes from the famous Richard Zschille art collection (see Arthur Pabst. Die Kunstsammlungen Richard Zschille in Grossenhain, Besteck-Sammlung. Berlin, 1893. pl. 23, fig. 147). Another similar example with biblical iconography and ivory carving with fold-out elements can be found in the Museum Rotterdam (inv. no. 48237) and in the collection of the Klingenmuseum Solingen (inv. no. 2006.M.167).
