Are these for sale??

 

[Primble]

It was just a reference to how they were listed in the old catalogs ........ eight dollars per dozen ........ 12 dollars per dozen, etc.
Rob ...... you didn't even ask how much.
I reckon I will keep them as long as I am able to look after them.
Kind of hard to do them justice when you try to put that many in one photo.

John Primble I.S.W. Pillbuster alone. It's in the group photo too. :

Mike, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's etch photo I couldn't pick just 1 of the 4 but the pearl Catt would be a contender!

I had not known that there could be such a thing as a stockman that is also a manicure whittler. Keen Kutter. Who made it?

I have an early New York Knife Co. Jack that has that identical liner coining or decoration around the back springs Cal. Even the middle liner is the same.

BTW, I like etches.

Breathtaking array. But the Ulster barlow! Are the scales french ivory Mike?

Sold by the dozen

My oh my Mr P. I love the pill buster but would have to choose the Fayetteville Knife Co barlow.

Cal nice example! I don't think that's a stockman, it's their swell center whittler pattern. Most all of their knives were made at the Keen Kutter/Walden Knife Co factory during that period:

Well the old knife bug is really starting to get me. I don't know if these are considered old in the scope of this thread but thought I would share.

Ordered the top knife thinking it was a World War Two Camillus. After Doing some research, realized it has a three line tang stamp and doesn't have a U.S.A. badge which designates it as a United States Army issue knife. I immediately went back to the seller's page and saw that he had the correct one listed. Four line tang stamp and badge. Of course, me being the knife crazed person I am I ordered it.

I am amazed at how well these are made and feel lucky to own two in the wonderful condition they are in. These two will be used and loved for years to come.
