Here are a few Knives that arrived recently that fit into the Old Knives Thread here!
The first is a earlier 20th Century Joseph Rodgers, as you can see the Tang Stamps ....Cutlers to
His majesty"
Gorgeous Stag that- as we find in a lot of these earlier Knives - the Stag is expertly Hafted- the Stag is finished so thin.
This Knife still has the original price sticker as you can see.
It always interesting when Charlie shows one of his stunning Knives, Charlie mentioned above with one of his gorgeous Knives that all Blades were Stamped- I too Charlie my friend absolutely love this, each Knife Blade has both sides of the Tangs.
This Knife is totally unused, the talent of the Cutler in putting this together is fantastic and simply a joy to behold.
The Swage Work is so perfect, each of the Pens have different shape and yet when one sits down and studies such a Knife- the smallest things come to you and the appreciation is immense.
The Nail Nicks are so fine and delicate- and yet perfect in shape and finish, and of course in practicality, the mains shape I very much like with a slight drop point factor going on, each side of the Blade has differences in the Swages - making the compacting of all four Blades perfect - please take you time and have a good look at the downward view of those Blades sitting so perfectly.
If you didn't quite look close enough - you would miss the incredibly fine Threaded Bolsters!
At 3 & 1/4 inches closed it takes the Knife into what I think a really desirable size for the Gentleman, this Knife came from our good Friend Mr. Roland Proctor, Thank you Roland kind Sir.
The Schatt & Morgan Scout is certainly an interesting piece.
