An Unrolling of a Roll!

Is the "Fuller" (for lack of a better term) on the Remington to allow a closer fit of the punch? I can't imagine any other reason for such a blade, and I've never seen one like that. Very interesting knife!

Optical illusion, eisman!:rolleyes: The punch is just open in front of the blade!!
The Rem punches are so cool I like to show them!!:cool:
 
I would strongly second the above comment . These threads of collections being shared is a great thing to raise morale in times such as these.
 
So, I unrolled another one today!! My fingers are sore, from rubbing blades, but well-washed!!:)

Looks like a few goodies!! Remington and sweet Camillus congress pens,
Then a fine Schrade Cut Co 3-blade and Ebony HJ, and then an older Winchester Powderhorn!!Rolie 3.jpg Rolie 4.jpg

A stubby Utica EO, an electrician from Empire etched "Compliments of the Season":p, a Schrade Cut TL-29 (issue?), and a weird WARD'S,
coffin Moose or Muskrat with cool bolsters and opposing clip blades? Strange but neat!Rolie 5.jpg Rolie 6.jpg

Two Schrade Waldens, a medium stockman, and a special Scout for Abercrombie and Fitch; minty!!:D Rolie 7.jpg Rolie 8.jpg
Hope these are interesting! Gotta put that Winchester in the Winchester Thread!! :rolleyes:
 
Love the Bone used on these older knives. Nothing made in the last 40 years can compare on a regular production knife. The Schrade Peachseed and the Remington bone are some of the finest ever made. Congrats on such a nice collection. Looking forward to seeing more.
 
Another batch of beauties, Charlie!:thumbsup: I have a quick question regarding maintenance, if you don't mind. Other than a drop of mineral oil on the pivots, do you use anything on the blades or handles?
 
Theres one thing that rings out loud Charlie when viewing the comments of our good friends - that we are all extremely grateful of you sharing your amazing collection with us - others feel they have to keep them under wraps- and that is totally their choice ( oops - hit reply button- so carrying on editing... ) but for you to share with us not only your vast collection, but a collection that contains such stunning examples of what was in the day- to me that a lifetimes of work that I see, I know just how hard I have had to work to see what little I have- so to view such sights as this- is an immense pleasure Charlie- Thank you for this!

This goes out to the other great friends who also post up their Knives here - a massive thank you.
 
Wow- just each and every one of those knives can be discussed and quoted - simply amazing- Love those TL's Charlie- that Ward -I wonder who made that, Beautiful Bolster with stunning Bone - Looking at that Bone I wonder if this was a very early Camillus built knife Charlie?
Speaking of Bone - That Utica EO is simply gorgeous!!
 
Here's the last roll - pretty interesting!Rolo 1.jpg Rolo 2.jpg

The first two - 4-blade pens are marked Empire, but the first says Empire Cutlery Co, while the second is Empire Knife Co as usual! I could find no Cutlery Co, but it seems to be German, and may have been an attempt to evade the boycotts around a World War!!?? No country of origin!!
Next a nice SCC Lobster, followed by a rare Pearl Jack by SCC!!! Then a Sword Brand by Camillus (scary little thing!!).

Here are some cool knives! A Schrade Cut with a bit of wear, but exquisite Peachseed, a Franklin, then two split, wedged spring whittlers by Schrade and Ulster, and last, an etched Western States Harness Jack, that used to belong to Jim Sargent!! Rolo 5.jpg Rolo 6.jpg
Ain't we got Fun!!??!!:D
 
Another roll of great knives!

Dan, I rub them with a microfiber cloth, then wipe oil on the metal and put a drop in the joints! What's left on my fingers I rub into the handles (not too much!).

Thanks for the answer, Charlie. I oil the joints quite frequently, but have never wiped the metal with oil. I believe I will start.
 
Thanks again Charlie - fantastic!

Is that scout sporting micarta covers? I wasn't aware that they used it for pocket knives until rather recently.

Loads! Thanks for doing this, Charlie... it's been quite the show! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

p.s. That Western States is beautiful and it's amazing that the celluloid has held up all these years, but I wouldn't put it back in the roll. You just never know when it'll start outgassing.:eek:

I don't know what it's called, but it is a laminated synthetic, John!!
(It's John, right?)

Yes, it is John

In light of current events, I think it would be prudent to avoid the loss of your entire collection should your one safe be lost or pillaged. Therefore, I humbly volunteer to keep part of your collection in my safe.
 
GE Jr GE Jr - thanks! I don't know what the synthetic is, but it has a nice feel to the hand!

MerryMadMonk MerryMadMonk - glad you are enjoying the knives, Al! That Celluloid is very nice looking, but I will try to isolate it (just like me!:rolleyes:)

L lambertiana I'd bring them to you, John, but I cannot cross the border right now!!:(
:D
 
Phew! Glad that was the last roll Charlie. I’ve been chewing the curtains marveling at the awesome show. Some mighty fine examples of some great cutlery manufacturers. Then there are the Schrades, back to the curtains.:D
