"Old Knives"

[Augie]

Added a pretty amazing large 4 1/4" stag sheepsfoot jack this week. Sold by J M Schmid & Son Providence, RI, J M Schmid was a retailer with a long history, 1871 to1964. They did not make their knives but had them made for them, German, English and US companies, most likely this knife was made by Ulster or Utica, both companies used stag in the early 1900's.
This knife covers a lot of the patterns I collect, early stag, sheepsfoot jacks, jumbo jacks.

Thanks LC ….other than the occasional nightmare about my wife putting it in the dishwasher it is a joy to be able to use a knife like this

Ahhh! That would give me an emotional breakdown.

John that's an incredible find, gorgeous in every way!! As a knifemaker I'd have been overjoyed to have the center pin hole on the pile side wind up right smack in the middle of that nub. So much easier to hammer the pin!

Great old knife with a host of interesting features.

 

[Augie]

Thank you all for the nice comments, much appreciated. Eric, that center pin is really something else, they about hit the nub dead center.

Spectacular seems a weak and insufficient word for such a knife, but it's the best I've got.

Recent pickup Cattaraugus Cut Co. little valley NY model no 21229 has a little play in the scales at the bottom end pin approx half cm on pile side and little less on the show side. I think the pin on the show side possibly been struck since leaving the factory. Thought about tapping the pins but I’m not skilled enough nor do I have the right tools to snug them up. Thought about adding small dab of glue between liners but probably a bad idea. Probably should just leave it alone…? Normally I wouldn’t even think about messing with it but gaps close with little pressure.

Were you actually able to find an advertisement or catalog page for this knife. Have found little to no info on this knife I found in my old tackle box when I was a kid.

Nope, the information I have is from the seller

It is nicely constructed except for the spine of the main sticking out a bit past the spring when open. Otherwise, I'm in love with the jigging.

Oh well. Do love the jigging for sure. Also the large nail nicks.

Wonderful Red Bone example.

Wonderful Red Bone example.

Thanks. I didn't know it was a 1940-1964 knife.

Goins lists VOOS (with arrow) 1919-1981, so quite a range of possibility. An article I found by Bernard Levine says that Rogers stopped selling jigged bone around the time Delrin came into use. So I'd say pre-1962 at least.
