Those are great Charles. Don't see many of those, especially in pearl. H&B sure made some excellent knives.

That's for sure. I only have three H&B knives and they are all very well made. Those pearl whittlers are outstanding!

Gorgeous whittlers, Charles!

Have you already posted them somewhere in this thread? If not, I'd love to see them. Thanks.

Actually, now that I think about it, I think I have five. But right now I can only find pictures of these two

[Mike Robuck]

Both are of those H&B knives are dandies. I like the pen blade on the jack and it looks like there's a lot of gold leaf under the tortoise scale of the second. Thanks for posting them.

What a coincidence! I picked up an H&B at an antique store on vacation. For being over 100 years old it is in very nice condition. The original owner definitely took care of it.

This knife is marked Northfield Knife Co Un -X- LD ". (1858-1919) The knife measures approx. 3" in length. The blades are approx. 1 1/2" and 2 1/2". The larger one is etched, as seen in the photo. They still have original mirror like finishes. Pearl handles are beautiful. Blades are very tight. Story is that this was something that was passed down in the family and not used.

Charles, in my book the sign of real cutler's talent is an exceptionally ground small blade. That Northfield is a good example, both master and pen are well done.
