Gents and Pens!!!

[Jack Black]

I think it means that the messier the desk, the smarter you have to be to remember where you put things!

Stuff's been on my desk so long, I kind of remember where everything is! Now my kitchen table on the other hand!

Schrade made nice Stag pens!! Nicely proportioned texture size on the Stag!!View attachment 3165167View attachment 3165168

Wow! Charlie, those are out-of-this-World.
I could imagine the queue of people just lining up trying to get their hands on what is now almost unobtainable early Schrade Stag like this!

If Pearl handles catch your eye as a collector, you will wind up with some from Sheffield!!View attachment 3165310
The top one is marked Ibberson, and it has SS-57 marked in the liner!! Stan Shaw made it back then!!!
Next is an I*XL from Wostenholm!! Third is marked Hadfield's, and last is John Watts!!!

Beautiful Pearl, Charlie did you know that that was a Stan Shaw knife when you bought it? only to find those initials later? If so that would almost knock you off your seat!, Man.... a Stan Shaw 1957! That's just awesome.

Croisdale of Leeds...

Ivory, Pearl and Stag!! Awesome, Jack the Ivory shown is stunning- love the deep golden hue on yet another Croisdale!

Picked up these really nice pen knives up from a friend at Badger knife show. Stamped Case Tested. But I’ve heard that they have maybe been made by Utica or Camillus. Anybody help me with identifying who made these? Either way they are really nice. Not a huge fan of the advertising on them but I got something brewing for these.

This one Jack really hits the nail on the Head for me- Fantastic Swage work, beautifully Jigged Bone, and looking awesome in it's Patina Suit! Just Wow factor all over this one.

Possibly my most favoritist thread ever! I have a hundred or so that would go in here (maybe more) but a lot of them are sort of repeats of the darlings being shown here, but I don't think I saw this Thomas Renshaw.
