A pair of 35's. A Queen Model 35 Folding Hunter with Coke bottle Early Winterbottom bone handle, saber clip blade (Queen City) 1932-1955; and a Case Pattern 35 Regular Jack with dark jigged bone handle, spear and pen blades 1940-1964.

Something a little different: fleam knives. Some commentators say that fleam blades, intended for bloodletting of animals by veterinarians and farmer/ranchers, fell out of favor in the late 1800's (as the science behind such practices was questioned much as the use on humans had been discredited much earlier). However, Ulster had a Model 13C fleam knife in their 1961 catalogue. The one on the left is an Ulster Model 13C with spey and fleam blade; the one on the right has no markings and a single fleam blade.

I think those two may be rooster 'nutters' or castration blades.
Very cool and not too common!

This is what I think of as fleam blades.

Yep, same piercing point blade concept. Those were the originals, I understand.

Case pattern 009R and a C+K Lockwood Brothers barehead jack.

Best wishes to all affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma and to those still touched by the tragedy of this day 16 years ago.

Couple recent additions, I took some pics of this weekend.

A Sabre GESCUT 29 large Barlow and a Sabre 45 Hawkbill, both JAPAN. Sabre would later designate them as 629 and 645, respectively.

Ebony and Ivory.

 

[Duckdog]

A Case Pattern 30 from 1920-1940 and a young whippersnapper Muskrat from 1976.

(Added 9/30/2017. After further research, I believe the top knife is a variation on the Pattern 53 equal end cattleman's knife and not a pattern 30, which is an equal end pen knife. Both the 30 and 53 patterns have been discontinued for some time and information on them is spotty. My knife does not have a pattern stamp on it. The dating is correct, though)

Still on the Case: Mini Trapper (6207) from 1940-1964 and a Sodbuster Jr. from 1978.
