Oddballs!! Not your usual cutlery!!

This big ugly thing is from Crete. It does have a name, but it escapes me I'm afraid. They're still carried, and used there. I sent this one to an old forum member, who asked if he could have it, about 10 years back. His wife took to it, and used it on their farm :thumbsup:

Jack I remember when you picked that up - or at least I think it was when you first purchased it- I would have been floating mid air all the way home grabbing that Knife, I think it is an absolutely outstanding piece of ( not super early but early) Cutlery, That is just wonderful, I love the way these Sheffield boys struck their knives with their markings - love it!
 
My most used oddball knife - stays on my desk and opens the mail nearly everyday. IKCO (Imperial) gift from JerryD long ago. OH

I can't even remember where I bought it now Duncan, but I was very pleased with it :) I showed it to Stan, and he said, "They've built it wrong way round!" 🤣🤣🤣:thumbsup:

Of course Colonial had a version too, the Sport Pal. A little one-ups-man-ship by adding a can opener too. OH

An Ulster Sportsman/Horseman knife!! Most were made in Sheffield, and had Stag or Horn Handles!! This one was made in the USA, by Ulster; 'two thick' with synthetic handles!!
I call it the "Poor Man's Horseman"!! Nicely fitted actually!!Ulster.jpg
