"Old Knives"

[Augie]

Can't say I've run across one of these Ulster's before, a small 2 3/4" boys knife that somehow managed to keep its chain, still has a faint Ulster Brand etch. Ulster Knife Co tang stamp.

Yowza again John
Even I would have kept that one… chained

John, would you go back to work, there's gonna be nothin left for the rest of us JOKING of course John, always enjoy your offerings

Real nice find, John! Most Boys' knives are regular Jacks!!
It's nice to see an equal ender!! And with its Chain!! Oh My!!

 

[Augie]

Charlie, Paul, Gus, thank you guys, was pretty happy to find one that still had its chain.

Added this single blade 3 1/2" Humason&Beckley jack, considering it's at least 110 years old it's in pretty nice original condition. The horn covers only have minor cracks and the blade still has original finishes and sharpening scratches. H&B seemed to use a lot of horn and stag, more so than other American makers.

Nice H&B, John!! I think blade-stamps, and serious match-strikes add wonderful touches to a Jack!!

John. very nice Jack

Here is a rather obscure knife marking, at least to me. It is a Pavian Cutlery Co. St. Paul MN 1907-1920. I did a search on BF with just a very few results. Charlie posted a scan of a beautiful Jack sold/marked by Pavian a few years back in this Old Knives thread. According to Goins they were a wholesale distributor of cutlery, silverware and clocks. This opposite end pen knife is 3.25 inches.

Anyone have an idea about maybe what cutlery company made this one? Thanks

Wow Fellas
John and Lloyd… thank you both for some easy on the eyes lines this evening !!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Have to agree with my friends above!
The last few pages are great viewing- mind you- when has the "Old Knives" Thread ever been boring? Nice obscure names coming out of the woodwork guys.

I agree with what Charlie said about Blade Stamping and Match-strikes!!! man- they add nothing but good to a Knife- also too with that one Augie is the deep Swage work as well with everything else just to make that knife quite a Phenomenal looking Knife - scratches 'n all!

Pavian

Levine and Goins list Pavian Cutlery in business from 1907 to 1920.
Goins calls them wholesalers, but not manufacturers, of cutlery, silverware and clocks, in St. Paul, Minnesota.
My guess is Camillus or Ulster made our knives!

This Bingham might be the same maker as your Pavian, Lloyd!!??

 

[Luger1952]

Charlie, YES it very well could be that Bingham made this Pavian of mine! They both have the same features. Same number of pins, same type of bone jigging, same long pull, same shield, same looking blades, same type tangs both blades, same type kicks (hidden on the secondary) and same choils. Thanks for the input I appreciate it

 

[waynorth]

They both have the same features.

Striking similarities, I agree; they seem to have come off the same production settings!!

 

[North Shore]

I don't believe I have posted this one yet, maybe just on facebook. I like contributing to this sub forum when I can its been a few months. A blade stamp KA-BAR union sleeve board jack, I am really on the look out for more horizontal blade stamped KA-BARs.

North Shore
What a beauty
Great bone, blade stamp and it looks like all nickel-steel with a pinned shield !!

3 1/4" Empire senator. Fancy steel liners on top and bottom, sunk joints and ink on the main blade.
