Very nice Primble :thumbup: Well done Gev, very kind :)

Hope all went well at the weekend Primble :thumbup:
 
WOW.....did I say WOW!!!!
Gev - what a fantastic thing to do for our mate Primble - and what a knife to let go of!!!!

I LOVE HAWKBILLS!! That one there Primble looks very much like a Simmons Keen Kutter I have thats a great example there my friend.
 
I hope it serves you well my friend!! And did I say WOW...you sure know how to Primbleize a knife to make it look fantastic!!! May many more old Primbles find their way to your loving hands at the end of that long winding road;)

Thanks for the kind works, Jack and Duncan!! You gents set the standard:D

Primble sent me a gift that would blow your mind, so mine is just a pittance compared to his generosity, which many of us know very well.

I still owe you much, my friend!
 
Gev, very nice knives you have gifted to Primble for his cool collection and display...well done. :thumbup:

Primble, as always you set the bar on pictures with your photography skills.......your knife "clean-up" skills aren't too shabby either. ;)

Duncan - thank you first of all and secondly - the old hawkbill wood was dark and dirty - after cleaning and waxing the wood - the reddish hues in the Cocobolo really popped, which made me smile. :)

Gevo - I love the old red bone Cigar Jack and I thank you for the compliments - that big old Primble you sent me will still be up to the task, long after that old pocket watch has turned to dust. ;):):D

Thank you Mark. 👍:)


Anyone want to take a guess on how many Neo magnets it will take to hold that big Cigar Jack to the display board?? :eek::eek::D

Hi Lyle, I am new to the old knives, and with that said, I was thinking Schrade but now that you mentioned Boker...I see that too.
That is why I love this forum.

Forget the magnets on that one Primble......You need a seat belt to hold that in place! :eek::D

Lyle,

It might be a Boker made Primble - Boker and Schrade made a lot of the old Primble knives, as you most likely know. 👍;):)

Just out of interest - what about it makes you lean toward Boker?

I wanted to share a preview of some old India Steel Works John Primbles that I managed to purchase yesterday.

You may remember seeing these three knives on page 7 of this thread, when I was lusting after somebody else's collection.

They are in the mail and having the tracking number makes me excited to see these old beauties.

I will post photos of them after I get my paws on them. ;)

I will probably be eating clearance expired Ramen noodles until about Christmas due to the cost for my lusting. :eek::eek:

I had to think back to something some other person said about doing what is necessary to aquire old knives you want. ;):D:eek:

Beans sound really good right now - probably too expensive though. :eek:





Gone to the store to exchange my groceries for a refund. :eek:

WOW! Those are incredible Primbles, Primble! The heck with groceries, a man has to have priorities!
 
Awesome Primble! You are taking this to a whole new level and it is great to see. :thumbup:

Go catch some fish to eat and if you have a .22, get a few squirrels and rabbits.......I don't want to have to worry about your kitty cats.....they taste just like chicken! :eek::D
 
Goodness gracious those are superlative! I hope your first born is still accounted for?:eek::eek:

Can't wait to see them in living color! Or is that PrimbleVision:D
 
The Primble river has changed course!!

Must be all those magnets in the house!!

:D
 
I particularly admire that Pillbuster, has a kind of Stabber Jack spear master. Then there's the bone on it and the others.....:eek::thumbup:

There's no pills or cure for this addiction....... fortunately:D:D

Warm regards, Will

New additions to my old John Primble collection, these India Steel Works knives just arrived. These knives are from the 1890-1940 era:
