Don't Need No Bolsters!!!

[Mike Robuck]

Thanks Charlie. A bit surprised there are no cracks (so far) in any of the inlays.
Here's a Thomas Turner shadow.

This German tool kit knife didn't need bolsters (I have another one, which I also think is a Shadow too)

Some Michael Morris folders. Springs aren’t necessary either.

Two very lovely knives, Mike Mike Robuck !! I really like the pique work on the Buck and Hickman, would be interesting to know who made their knives.

A couple more bolsterless knives.

Couple more tomorrow, they're in a small display at work.

I had one of those IXL Stockman's. The photo does not do justice to how big that knife is. John

Word to the wise: for the cost of one of these, you can get 2-3 peasant knives from Portugal or France that are better in most every way.

I'd say that this one, in their 1935 catalogue, is definitely a Wostenholm

I wonder why they made them that big!
