How Minty Can It Be??

Threads like this are great. I love seeing all these NOS knives and am amazed at some of your collections. The only drawback is a thread like this can be expensive for us with OCKD (Obsessive Compulsive Knife Disorder). I no doubt am going to find myself in a frenzy searching for NOS knives now. :eek:
 
Here are a few more I have been lucky enough to find,

A New York Knife Co,

An Electric Cut Co,

I do love finding a vintage knife in high condition, not that easy to do. Really love seeing everyones fine examples.
 
I got my Queen No. 11 single blade trapper in unused, unsharpened condition. It did have some corrosion on the butt end, some orange stuff on the brass and deep patina on the backspring, but otherwise was not used for more than 50 years. Of all places, it came in a bag full of old scissors and tweezers a client gave me. Got a beautiful knife and some handy tweezers that day.

Pics to come,
Connor
 
^^^That NYKCo jack is simply stunning, Charles. :thumbup:

Augie, you've done a fine job of finding some great old knives.

I love the stag on your Bulldog and Folding Hunter, wazu013... beautiful examples!
 
I bought these first two Terrier Cutlery Company knives simultaneously off Ebay from the same seller. They were described as New Old Stock from a long closed hardware store in the Midwest.









This Terrier four blade scout/utility was on Ebay less than thirty minutes when I clicked the Buy-It-Now icon.





This celluloid tortoise handled etched jack went completely unnoticed by most and was a true bargain.





This pearl handled etched whittler is not as nice as the rest, but still way up the "Mint Scale".





This Terrier cocobolo handled heavy jack ranks as NOS, as well.





This sleeveboard has some very nice hundred year old jigged bone and nice, full, unused blades.





A single blade, saw-cut bone handled Barlow.





A jigged /grooved bone two blade Barlow with unique "TCC" embossed bolsters.





A nice handfull of dogleg jack.





A very slim, mini-Barlow with pearl handles.





All these knives will be, by default, at least one hundred years old and possibly as much as one-hundred-six, this year, as Terrier knives were only produced by Robeson from 1910 to 1916.

Fantastic knives, Charlie, any one would be the center-piece of a nice collection. The dogleg is VERY special!
 
Charlie That Sleeveboard is my kind of dream, magnificent shield and very attractive bone. Proportions on those knives from Terrier Cutlery seem just right, a point often missed on more clunky modern renderings.

Congratulations on preserving this rare, inspiring marque.

Thanks, Will
 
Thank you.

I love my Robesons, but I think the Terriers are my favorite. Maybe that's because the nice ones are so difficult to obtain.

This thread is just great and all are showing some wonderful old knives.

The less than fifty year old knives are also impressive. Keep them mint!

Maybe one day this thread will be up there close to the legendary "Made In Sheffield" .

Keep 'em coming.
 
Always a treat to see your Terriers, Charlie!!:D:thumbup::thumbup: The barlow and the dogleg get me going with just a glance
 
This old Robeson belonged to my grandpa, who passed in 1938. I carry it and absolutely love it.
