"Made in Sheffield" 1830-1930, A golden age ?

[Oldy]

This IXL is well used, but not abused. For me, the blade etches and the pressed bone are off the charts.

It would be cool to have a picture of this knife straight from store and see how the oil from our hands and body change it's looks

Oh Glenn matey, I hate to say this my friend, both those knives are just all wrong- so what I am going to do is take the hit for you by letting you bag both of those up and send them off to me - that way they cant be related back to your very good name and you keep your upstanding in the community.
That's what good friends do for each other, and please, there is no need to thank me- this just what we do!





Seriously, both of those knives are just fantastic! nice pick ups Glenn!

Love that older styled rounded kick on the Pen, Glen have you got a close up of those great ol' Tang stamps at all Sir? and are all the tang stamps read the same ( sorry, just love looking at these older ones close up!).

I received this amazing knife from our good friend Mr Neal Punchard, I am still in awe of this exceptional knife, I cannot thank you enough Neal, I posted this up in a thank you thread a while back, but I received a Sheffield the other day that I am about to post and thought to myself= "Have I actually posted this one in the Golden age Sheffield thread? - it truly deserves to be in here.

William Nicholson circa 1830 -1860.

Check out the wee Stove Pipe Kick on this beauty!

Had this one arrive today, the very quickly taken photos do absolutely no justice to this remarkable knife.

I saw this for sale locally and I was very pleased once I opened up the package, it also held a very nice surprise!

The build of this knife is exceptional! you cannot feel the pins or the shield when you rub your finger over them at all.

The Mother of Pearl is packed full of fire, the walk and talk is what you would expect from a knife like this.

Coined Liners, this 51 year old knife perhaps deserves a place in the kindergarten area of this thread as it is not within the 1830 to 1930 era, but being a Sheffield of this quality I thought it really deserves a place here.

This Knife has never seen a days work in it's lifetime, it is in Mint condition. Gordon Tools must have had some very good customers to hand them a knife like this.

As I stated earlier, these photo's simply do not give this knife justice, I have a few Lobsters, and we find they are always built so finely and very well with the smallest of tolerance's and beautifully detailed fine Blades / tools always put together extremely well, but this one is just that little bit better.

Love these tiny wee stovepipe kicks

And imagine how pleased I was to see that Stan Shaw made this in 1974!

Such a nice Knife!! Stan at his Peak!!! Nice subtle color in the Pearl also!! That knife was lovingly squirrelled away somewhere; for years!!!
Great find Duncan!!!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Thanks Charlie
I showed the knife to Sue, as she was there with Jack and myself with Stan in his workshop at the Sheffield Museum - she immediately loved the knife, she too thought Stan was such a lovely person.

The knife also came with it's original pouch

I agree Charlie, I think Stan would have been definitely at his peak during this period!

Hope life is treating you two well over there Charlie

Do you think gordon tools would of given these to customers with the wait time for a stan shaw knife being 4 years,or maybe it was given to top brass at the company, nice find

I’m sure that these knives would have been at a certain “bracket” where they were more the norm then in comparison to what they are now Oldy.

I’m sure that these knives with Stan Shaw stamp on the liners within the Ibberson walls didn’t have any wait time, I could very well be mistaken on that.

OK that makes sence, thanks.
