That's beautiful. Could you please show us a view of the spine - I'd like to see what size the steel is. Thanks!This Old Sheffield came my way the other day- Joins some other great big Oldies. J.Blackwell & Son, Sheffield.

Tyson A Wright is my name, so no worries! Love that knife - that is a fat slab of steel they used there!Thank you Steve, Rob, Charlie and Tyson A Wright ( I cant remember your name- I'm sorry if I come across rude
Aren't they neat!
Oh Wow Rob That Hawkbill is absolutely beautiful my friend- those Case have lived a good life- they look Great!
As per request, here's the top shot- Please forgive me for the very very poor quality Photos - my Cell phone has a broken lens on it's Camera - its very testing taking photo's, I spent an hour or so battling to try and get photos of some HJ arrivals- terrible results, so here is the poor quality photo of the top of the Knife- I will replace these Photos when I take better shots with my Camera.
I have seen Sheath Knives with Thinner stock
This Knife style is more in the Family of a Rope Knife, most certainly not a worn Pruner of sorts, here's another Older Sheffield- Marples same pattern Knife.
Have a great day everyone.
Thats a beauty Charlie...colour? Hmmm it would take Sherlock Hemlock to solve that puzzleJust sorting out knives, after the chaos of the Oregon Show, and I came across this Barlow that I haven't CF'd &CE'd for a long time - years!!!
Some earlier Case Tested knives had swoopy "A" clip blades, and this is one of them!!
It's still a pretty full blade - full length in the knife anyways!!!
The sawcut Bone is waned on one side and soupy on the other, typical of the "budget" parts on older Barlows! Some would call this Greenbone (endless controvery ensues!!
A nice old Barlow; snappy, with half stops; just what I like!!

Garland Cutlery, 1913 to 1940. Lovely Bone on this Knife- in fact the Bone looks somewhat better than these photos because of the harsh lighting.
Blades have been cleaned- not by me- yet they still have Sharpening Marks- so I'm guessing an attempt to make the Knife a little better before sale- I don't like buying cleaned Knives and photo's ( close ups ) were not a thing where I purchased this from, in saying this Im still glad to have this Knife- I really like the Bone and it's Jig work and it's Colouring that beats hand down the Photo Colouring.
What I believe is the original Button chain?
Iron Bolsters, Iron Hammered Pins - I think it's just a neat Knife all round.
Lovely strong Walk and Talk ( I mustn't have taken open Knife photo's- can't find them for the life of me?).
