Jack Knives

[smiling-knife]

Very nice collection Rivit. Thanks. This is an old Taylor's Eyewitness. This was a trade name made by Needham, Veall, & Tyzack which made knives in the Eyewitness Works. It is long at about 4.5 inches closed.

Here is one from Chamblin that he calls a Northfolk Jack.
(Below the Burke whittler).

Not quite the "romance" of smiling-knife's, but Joel did a great job on it.

WOW, Gus!
---on both of those.
I am especially happy to see Joe get more into the older patterns, as he seems to be doing lately.

A couple of my favorites. The appaloosa Case from a generous trade from a fellow forum member and the other a neat little Queen an extra from the same member.

Other side of the appy.

Nice stuff here guys.

Here are some that I picked up at a local flea market yesterday. Top one is an American Shear & Knife, The others are Cattaraugus.

 

[smiling-knife]

Great additions Rivit. I really like the looks of the middle one.

This is a George Butler & Co. with horn handle.

All right, I took a break from house painting to take some pictures. Some of these are in decent shape, some are rather well used. All have some history to them.

Challenge, Ulster, Southington

Southington, Valley Forge, and a pair of Ulsters

Valley Forge, Electric, Southington

Challenge, Ulster, Eagle Phila (I can make out enough of the original stamp to conclude that this one is a NYKC second)

A trio of Ulsters, including a nice harness jack

H&B, Empire, Waterville

Two Ulsters and a Robeson

 

[lambertiana]

And the rest for now:

A large Queen City, Ulster, T Hessenbruch, and a well used Joseph Rogers, Victorian with clean and square joints

A Royal Brand with Camillus-stamped pen, Ulster, HSB, and a Krakauer-Zork-Moye's Socs. Inc, the only one of those I have ever seen

Swan Cutlery Co NY (not Swan Works), Imperial, Ulster

H&B, Globe, Southington

Can you tell I like the old ones? I'd like to know the stories that some of these have to tell. Maybe Jackknife could come up with a good one for some of them. I'd like to see him work that Krakauer-Zork-Moyes into a story. It would have to be set in the El Paso area, maybe a rustler tale.
