Heater’s Bull Cook Knifes

[Dale Sourdough Myres]

I’m looking for one or more of the wooden handle 4”or so fixed blade Bull Cook knifes that Heter,s made in the 60’s. My father gave one as a boy but I no longer have it. If anybody knows a source. Please let me know. d.myres@yahoo.com

Dale, it is Herters, not Heaters or Heter. Should make it easier to find with the correct spelling. John

Thank you, a slip of my fingers on the iPhone. My sincere apologies. However, I am still in the hunt. Everywhere else I assure you I spelled it correctly. I will await further feedback. Thank you, John

You can go to the Bay and bid on them. They don't come cheap these days but other than knife shows and yard sales that is about your only option.

 

[Dale Sourdough Myres]

Thank you. I will stay on the hunt!

Just doing some searching and found that the Herter's Sportsman knives were made by the R. Murphy Co. which is still in business.

From R. Murphy website:
"These knives are manufactured of the finest high carbon cutlery steel. Quality and ... Company History · Knife ... We originally manufactured these for Herter's Inc. The Pathfinder is the Herter's "Fish Fillet And Camp Knife"

I used to drool over the Herter's catalogue (dating myself...), back in the good ol' days of B&W TV... life was so tough then we had to walk across the room to adjust the TV volume!

Yes, life was rough then especially walking to school in the snow.
Still have an old Herter's catalog. It's also available online as a PDF file (at least part of it).
Was my bible along with the Sears catalog.

My father bought so much stuff from them. He bought 2 copper gold mining pans. Ended up using one to make a cake with.

Just read that R.Murphy was purchased by Dexter-Russell in 2018. So Herter's has a long "moving" history.

I bought this buffalo skinner at a gun show to replace one that was stolen. I think it's stainless.View attachment 1489666

When I was a kid, I always looked at the Herters catalog too. I lover the descriptions in it. It was the blue collar LL Bean in my opinion.

The Herters stainless steel slaughterhouse knives of the late 70s sure do look like they were made by Chicago Cutlery.
