"Old Knives"

[waynorth]

Thanks Charlie, that corkscrew knife is a real beauty, one of the best I've seen.

Thanks, John!!

I agree John, Charlie knows a good knife.
Great Ulster Cal.

I think John's and my knives came from a F Herders showroom display.

I have couple from that same display that Roland sold to me
All the more precious now.

An old one you don't see every day, Battle Axe Cutlery Co, Philadelphia Pa. Not much known,1897-1937 time frame, really nice bolster stamp and tang stamp.

Incredible find John! I just can't get enough of looking at this amazing barlow. Everything about it is special. I'll bet this one put a grin on your face!

Thanks Dwight, put a huge smile on my face when I pulled it out of the box.

Approaching 2 weeks with no activity in this thread. Time to wake it up. I posted these two in the Sheffield thread previously. Two Sheffield knives I picked up from Roland in early June. A Rodgers and an IXl George Wolstenholm Celebrated Cutlery.

Ok my friend, lets play.....

Staying in the Boker Family - although no where near the sophistication of Cals wonderful Knife, this Big Heavy Jack by Boker...

A real sweet L.F & C Whittler, when handling this Knife- its a very neat well constructed Knife, a Gift from a good Friend!

Nice Swage work- and beautiful walk and Talk- Great Knife!

Not a lot of room in here- but not a hint of Blade rub!

Stickin with the theme Boker English jack and cigar jack with Washington bolsters

Found this in good shape.

Was sold to me rusted and the blades wouldn't snap close, so was a good price point. I flushed it with oil, cleaned it up and both blades snap close beautifully! The main blade appeared full but the edge looked super un-even so I gave it a light pass with KME and it turned out alright!

Unsure if it is the same knife pictured here as the font of bolster stamp doesn't match exactly...Regardless, really happy with this find

Great knives guys but I really like that beefy Utica!!

Beautiful find Euroken, I love it when the diamond in the rough is made a tool once more!!

 

[fishin1635]

There's some stunning knives in the thread this week gentleman... that Utica is breath taking campbell.

Ultra Rare Camillus, I will have to dig up what I have on this Knife, but made for presentation for Contract but others surpassed the needs and this one didnt make production line.
