The two smaller blades both look like pen blades. My guess is the you or someone else either reprofiled or replaced one or the other or both. T-A

The opposite end blade is a spey, the front end blade is s spear. It's a Camillus-made knife that was bought new from a dealer a long time ago.

You have a pen instead of a Sheepsfoot?

Defying the usual norms, a little or a lot, I thought it would be interesting to have a landing place for Cutlery that doesn't quite fall into the commonly seen forms or patterns!

Binney & Smith was an art supplies company, and invented Crayola crayons!! Ulster Knife Co. made this folding pallet knife for them, and put a firm spring in it to render it useful!!
With it, below it, is an elegant, sculptural Ivory (pre-ban) pallet knife with no markings, but which I suspect is Sheffield-made!!

Please post your interesting pieces here!!

Charlie I've got your Binney and Smith's twin with a related letter having to do with that particular deal;

Wow! That's in fine shape, Eric!! Nice to have that letter referencing the "spatula", also!!!
Production couldn't have been too long after 1934!!??

I keep watch for one that resembles the Ivory one in post #1, but so far, no luck!!

 

[Culprit99]

Has anyone seen, or maybe even have, anything by Erie Cutlery - especially this one?

None of mine look like yours:
Was the sheep's foot reprofiled or replaced? T-A

I keep ending up with corn knives, but I've never had a corn or bunion

But they are so nicely ground, they are great to have!!!
The knives that is!!!!

Neither. It was bought new and came out of the box that way.

Very unusual! T-A

Just be sure to disinfect thoroughly.

Cobbled together by one of those fix it guys, keeps my stache in fine shape…

I have treasured this box of HANDY TWINE KNIVES since I acquired it several years ago. These are definitely oddballs, and I have eight new-old-stock examples in the original box:




What could be better than that? How about this box that I just bought on that big online auction site:

It is older (no zip code) and contains a full dozen knives, most of which have never been unwrapped! I can't wait for them to arrive! Unfortunately I'll never be able to unwrap them, as I want to preserve them just as they are. Thanks for watching! T-A

 

[waynorth]

Wise choice to keep them as-wrapped!! You certainly know what they look like!!

Just be sure to disinfect thoroughly.

Nice,.
You know we clean our knives better than most, not thrown in the sink. Especially those that like a carbon blade.

Very cool those Corn Knives Blade is something like a Budding or Grafting blade, not that you'd want to graft corns to other places

Wish I'd had one as a kid. I didn't get troubled with corns but I did get verrucae on the feet and that knife would've been just right. As it was I got ointment and told to get cuttin' em with one of these....one slip....

Here is an interesting tool!! It appears to be forged steel, but is not flexible like the pallet knives above; quite rigid actually! Can anyone tell me the purpose of such an Oddball??
It is 7" long!

 

[hsherzfeld]

Could it be a letter opener?
