Easy Openers

(I was fortunate enough to pick up all three colors when they came out),

Glad you enjoy that knife, Barrett!!

Here is a chunky, Schrade Cut Co!! Solid Brass handles, half stops, and both blades marked, indicating an earlier knife!! And of course, an EO notch!!! Used little in all
those years, 1920s to 1930s, it has excellent walk and talk on this 3 5/8" Jack!!
Close to 100 years old !!!!

Will Power - What a beautiful Stag 85 EO my friend- wow! What is the Bolster serial number on that one kind Sir?

M majorpain1 - Love that Bone- Stunning!

Mike Robuck - Mike your collection is out of this World, a outstanding example of NY Knife Co at their best.

Campbellclanman Many thanks Duncan, the No. is 4, I seem to always have low numbers must be that my past dealer had those batches. You enjoy your summer in NZ, lot of beauty there

Looks like a Minter, jigging from another dimension and admire that Longpull running into the tang- can't be easy to do in production. But what's the beautiful Green glass artefact? I'm guessing something from old power or telephone lines? (turns out to be an immensely valuable objet d'art from a famous artist ) Love the look of it, I need one...

Thanks, Will

Good to see that this thread still has some gas in the tank.
And great to see some very unique and interesting models shown in the past few pages.
Here is an early post WWII model by H.M. Slater of Sheffield with nice stag handles and triple fluted bolsters.

Those green glass power line insulators are all over the place here. I have a number of them, and every antique shop has a bunch for sale. Green is by far the most common, but you can find clear and purple glass frequently, and rarely yellow or even a yellowish glass with a pearlescent finish.

Some really fine examples you've been showing but this is the one I wish GEC would aim to replicate in their next Acrylic run. Of course it won't have the richness of Cell but Butter & Molasses is just so fine...they really should!

Thanks, Will

H herder Fluted bolsters and Stag! Really good looking piece of antler too, interesting that it's post WW II as it has the quality look of earlier examples- before Sheffield finally rested on its laurels and churned out knives clearly inferior to its competitors.
