You don't have a picture of the knife that donated the stag, do you Kerry??

Tony handed the old blade to Reese and we haven't seen it since:confused: Sorry Charlie (I've been wanting to say that for a long time)
 
People LOVE to say "Sorry Charlie!". You'd think I was a cigar-smoking tuna!!

I didn't know you were old enough to remember that ad, Kerry??
 
Kerry is not old enough, he is just a kid, especially at heart. But, I am.
"Sorry Charlie"

Dudes...I'm fifty-freakin-two and proud of it. :D

Speakin of vintage, here is a 70's vintage T.Bose. At the time this was made, T was working on the kitchen table and had a home made grinder that used an old washing machine motor. One of the following images has the knife sitting on the "grind wheel" that Tony made out of a caster wheel. He glued leather on the wheel(still attached) to improve the surface. The wheel is about 1 1/2" wide and T said he would have to track the 2" belt from side to side to use it. I guess it worked ok. ;)

This knife is probably made out of O-1, has nickel silver liners and bolsters and pins. The bone is some that Culpepper dyed and jigged years ago. This knife has been extremely well taken care of.

Kerry,

WOW! Who said that quality doesn't last! :thumbup: Great photos..again!

It's great to look at some of 'the first ones" tha were made. Thanks!

That's so cool! It almost belongs in the "OLD KNIVES" thread.
Looks like no relief machined in the liners - hard to do on a kitchen table!:D
Especially with only a cheese grater available!!:D:D
Amazing what Tony accomplished in the "primitive" days. The fit looks just as good as his recent knives.
 
With the shape of that blade and Bose-sharp 1095, I'd venture to remove my own appendix. I'm going to the doctor now, my Bose delirium tremens is getting real bad. XOXO

It is, it only took him four times the amount of time then to finish a knife.:D
 
That's a P.S. knife by Tony, pre-swedge. I like the jigged bone and the blade on that one. Thanks for posting the pictures. Probably a fair amount of sweat in that wheel.

WHOA!. I'm with Charlie on this one for sure. There is a number of 1970's knives in the Old Knife thread as I recall and it would be a sin not to include any of Tony's early creations! I vote Kerry add it there as soon as its convenient.

It is quite a treat to see this vintage Trapper form Tony's early hand!. Thank You Kerry for photographing her with the accompanying description!. This is GREAT stuff!! :thumbup: :cool: I envy the owner and wish them the best with such a wonderful piece of custom slippy history here!

Man, I love the green bone on that vintage Bose. Thanks for showing that one, vintage Kerry! :D ;)

Bet there's some gravy stains on that old leather belt. :)
 
Nice stag on that oldie Campbell!

Kerry dropped a hint somewhere, but I didn't pick up on it; something about the lowly potato ? ?
this one is a surprise:eek:!

The oldies are great, but I yam very VERY happy with my newie!!
Vince will like this one; the spine is eased/polished for squeeze cutting and paring, and the blade is thin and sharp, and it makes slices so thin they only have one side!!:D
Tony heard I like to cook, and thoughtfully made a beauty of a paring knife . . Thanks Tony!!
He also knows I need to push back from the taters - ahem . . .
well, one sided slices may help me lose a little weight:cool:.
Here it is before it's first subject;

And here is the "after" pic! (It is easier to carve wood, IMO) A tip of the hat to the real chefs out there, and to the knifemakers who make our lives better, and more fun to boot!

"I potato" just doesn't ring like "I yam", Campbell! Besides, don't these things grow in your own back yard?? No 100 mile diet for you, ehhh??

Charlie,I do like that alot. Looks real "handy" ,good ss ,too.Low maintenance & high corrosion resistance. Nothing like the feel of a wood handled kitchen knife Congrats! Thanks for showing it,
-Vince
 
Just received this from Tony. 6 1/4" slicer on CPM 154 stock with ebony handle. The swedge is perfect and runs almost the entire length of the blade.

 
The ebony on that knife is remarkable. What a fine piece of work.....Congrats on that knife 2toes! Thank you for sharing......
