That was funny! Probably don’t help that my last name was originally De Ferrers or that my mother’s maiden name was De Mott.BPS Savage, 1066 and bog oak.
Pretty insensitive steel choice for us Anglo-Saxons.
Whitby are still going, I used to deal with them regularly years ago
I found out about it, that they are still around, a few minutes ago, doing a search for this knife.Whitby are still going, I used to deal with them regularly years ago
I don’t know if this belongs on the traditional board; Mods please delete if inappropriate.
This is my Springfield Armory Model 1904 Hospital Corps Bolo. Mine is stamped on the blade 1913 making it 110 years old. It’s a little hard to make out but I believe its sheath is stamped “Rock Island Arsenal 1912 H.E.K.”.
I've just received this Walnut Kephart from Brisa of Finland. I'm really pleased with the knife, and dealing with them directly was a great experienceLooking forward to getting out and using it
I think they are still a family firm. They were run by a husband and wife team when I dealt with them, I mainly dealt with Michael, but everyone said his formidable wife, Pauline, was the gaffer!
Thanks Dylan, you were very much in my thoughts when I ordered it, and I'm glad to have your opinion
That's cool RachelI added another to my Kent knife collection.
I hadn't ever seen one of these before, marked General Utility Knife. There appears to be some other writing on the blade. I think I can make out 'pruning' and 'wire stripping'. From the seller's pictures, I didn't know if the handle was rubber or plastic, but upon inspection, I think it's actually jigged wood.
Similar knives were originally sold here as 'Shoe Knives', and later as 'Lino Knives', but they're pretty useful generally. Nice collection there
Thanks, Jack. I meant I'd seen similar knives, but not one marked Kent. Same handle style as the Sportsman's, so I couldn't pass it up.That's cool Rachel
Nice!Carrying this Brisa Kephart in stabilized walnut today
I don't blame you, I'd have snapped it up!
Just the sort of thing that might come in handy in a small general store or something The ones I see here are usually very plain, with wooden handles. I'm not sure I even have any pics! This is a larger leather knife by Harrison Brothers & Howson, couldn't resist the etch 
Thanks
