"Next stop; Willoughby!"

[Peter Parker]

A stockman for me.

Carl, you have a style of writing that I real enjoy reading. This was a fun thread that got my imagination going.

I am not very versed in old knives to I took a look in the sticky thread with ads. I picked out two knives.

If I decided multi blade I would go with 724, great size, I like the blades and comes in stag.
Yeah, I would save my pennies for the stag...

If I decided single blade I would go with 1114, the same length as my current favorite single blade.
I would go for the white bone, and love the profile of that spear blade, lots of blade height to sharpen away over time.

Our Hero gets carried away...by the Willoughby Funeral Parlor.

Yep that's how it ends. Great Episode, Twilight Zone was ahead of its time.

Willoughby sounds like a beautiful place... I can just picture myself, sitting under a grand Oak tree with my knife, I would most probably choose the HJ, I think that style of knife calls to me,but also a Stag Handled Marbles Fixed blade to finish a fantastic set!
Thank you Carl for taking us there, just great.

In 1900 I would start with a nice teardrop jack with ebony scales.

It would be a true delight to operate a barlow with nice slabs and carbon steel blades...but maybe a nice jack.....hmmmmm,,,hard choices--sweet thoughts....Herb

Assuming the model was available in 1900, a single blade pocket hunter, about 4 inches closed.

I'd pick up a nice half Congress with ivory scales. If those were sold out, maybe a cigar equal-end jack with ebony handles. Also, a couple 10-cent cigars, a genuine Hohner harmonica, three candy sticks (for my kids), and a small bottle of lilac water for my beautiful wife.
