looking for info on whitetail cutlery

[Gary G]

...and they don't have pumas in Germany....

Maybe that's why "puma" is contracted elsewhere!!!

[Ironrod]

That's damn decent of you Bill.

[bernard_levine]

You cannot track it?

Have you read THIS thread? The background story is in here.

If you want information about YOUR knife, you will need to POST (not send in) pictures of it.

Picture posting instructions are here:

sorry about that i literally joined this forum yesterday after researching "MY" knife and i really didnt want to go through all the trouble of taking the pictures and uploading to a thread (that hasnt had a contribution in a year) without some sign of interest or activity for that matter (just to explain my lack of posting etiquette). I did in fact read this POST and did not see anything specific enough to bring me to a 100% certainty as to whether or not i had accurately identified MY knife or TRACKED its history to its origin . With all of that being said here are the pictures of MY knife ...

Odd... all through that case, which I worked on for weeks, I never actually saw one of Glover's knives.

That is better looking than I would have expected it to be... even if the markings are all on the wrong side.

.... even if the markings are all on the wrong side.

The Glover is marked on the same side as most Schrade Uncle Henry and Old Timer sheath knives. A few, particularly some earlier Schrade Walden knives, were tang marked on the opposite, left side. But almost always were shielded on the right if the pattern included a shield.

Here's an older (2004) topic on Whitetail Cutlery:

http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=324575

And here's a scan of the Whitetail Cutlery shield:


These were the shields used on low-end imports that were sold at flea markets and junk shops in Arkansas in the 1990s. Perhaps they still are today?

I have a "Christmas White Tail Cutlery (Glover stamped) display case with 12 of the orginal knives. I have pictures if you would like. Greg

[bernard_levine]

FWIW the current SMKW Christmas catalog shows a Whitetail BRAND knife imported by Frost that is similar to the knife in post #25, but without the shield, and not marked GLOVER.

I think I bought this one in the 80's likely NYstate



No Glover on it,likely one of the imports I would imagine

Mine has the same shield and blade etch, but no Glover. I'll try to scan the overall knife later.

i still dont know for sure that my whitetail cutlery is an original or a knockoff , handmade or produced, glover original or counterfeit ( pardon my use of the word counterfeit as i am sure there is a better term although it escapes me ) anyways i guess the point i mean to make is that i still havent found any images or descriptions of a knife like the one i have ... everyone whom ive seen posting pictures of their "whitetail cutlery handmade"knives have many diferrences in design in comparison to this knife ... i.e the shield ,the whitetail cutlery writing and the image beneath (i want to say the logo rather than image but as i am totaly new to knife identification i am not sure that would be correct) . could anyone say with confidence what my knife should be titled ,what with this jumble of controversial history looming over the whitetail cutlery knives and name . Mr Levine perhaps you could help me define this knife ( i just want to know what to present it as in conversation) thank you all seriously for your input an patience with my obsessive nature concerning this knife ... this knife was my first good knife and as a child it was lost (or so i believed) roughly 12-15 years later i was helping my mom and stepfather move into a new house and amidst the shuffling my stepfather rediscovered the knife he had hidden away from me more than a decade earlier ... probably a lame story to anyone but myself but i thought it would explain a bit better my deep interest in the history of this knife before i developed my own hhistory with this knife

hey everyone. I am in fact James Hollis Glover's granddaughter. He did in fact own the trademark to white tail cutlery . And as was stated aslam started counterfeiting. If it an original white tail it should be of utmost quality. The name whitetail cutlery is now in fact generic, due to counterfeiting. My grandfather passed three years ago. and the reason i saw this forum is because i am attempting to pick up where he left off. i was with him enough to know where to start. there is so much counterfeit of his trademark it makes me sick. If i could see a picture i could give you more details. i have actually started going through his things just this afternoon looking over patterns and trying to get the hang of this. and if anyone has an original whitetail or especially one of his first few exclusively hand made by him knives it should say glover on the handle i would love to just see it!!!! i am only 23 so i never got to see but one with glover on the handle and my father in law found it at an auction and it is now put up for my son who is named after my grandfather.

Value is where you have your heart, The only worthless knife is one with no history

I grew up in Hollis Glover's community and he was well known for his knife making skill, He even done some counterfitting himself.

Hi, I have a White Tail knife with "Glover" on the blade. My dad gave it to me years ago and it looks pretty old so it is probably one of the originals you are talking about. I would be glad to send you some pictures if you like. Jeremy

Deja vu. See post #23 and responses following.

It would seem all Glover marked knives aren't all made by Glover himself before the Pakistani deal started. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Whitetail...item23220d84c1

Whitetail Cutlery "Hunting Knife" with leather sheath Handmade in Pakistan blades is 5.5" long whole knife is 10.25" Handle seems to be white plastic. There is the name "Glover" printed on the knife.
