"Old Knives"

[pistonsandgears]

Cool knife!! I have heard that punch referred to as the "lightning punch"!! (Made by Camillus??")

Looks like the one on this Kutmaster. Utica?

Gorgeous Stag on that Simmons P&G- who could have passed that one up?

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Lightning punch seems a fitting name. Thanks Rachel for posting that picture of your Utica also. So I wonder if Utica made my entire knife or just the punch? I'm guessing Utica was the manufacturer of the whole knife.

I'm guessing Utica was the manufacturer of the whole knife.

I think you are right!!!

Couple of new to me jacks picked up this week, a New York Knife Co 3 1/2" sheepsfoot jack, honest wear with a rounded tip on main, still tight and snappy with great NYK bone.

The other is a Dasco Rockford Illinois, pretty sure made by Schrade Cut CO, 3 5/8", great bone, unusual 3 spring 3 blade jack. Dasco started in 1921 and is still in business today, a toolmaker and supplier. Not sure if Schrade had a 3 spring jack in their catalog and this pattern was unique to Dasco, at least they are the only ones I remember seeing.

Nice knives, John!! It is interesting to see the bone jigging on those two knives as well!! I believe that Schrade and NYK shared a bone handle making facility that influenced the appearance of those knives!! ea42 , Eric knows the details better than I do!!

Wonderful additions, the bone is just phenomenal.

Great knives and photos John !! Here are three Schrade Cut autos with three different types of jigged bone.

Augie, another nice haul, I think that Schrade is just an awesome Knife,that's some of Schrade's finest work there, taking nothing away from that beautiful NY Knife Co.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Beautiful examples Lloyd, your collection of some of the finest must be quite a view these days!!!

 

[Augie]

Duncan, Lloyd, Jeff, Charlie, thank you all. Lloyd love those knives, the early pick bone is my favorite.

Charlie, that particular era Schrade bone does look a lot like the NYK bone, does make you wonder if they did share a bone handle facility. NYK Co did not have much variation in bone, that jigging seems to be pretty standard for them.

Finally received this Ulster stockman on Monday but I get home from work when it's almost dark, so I couldn't take pictures before ... All steel and a little lackkuster, I must say. But the bone is nice and the blades appear to be unsharpened. One can still see the etch on the main blade: Craftsman Hammer Forged 9528. 1940s, I assume?

It's a nice one alright!!

This one won't win any awards for collectability, but it is old. The Colonial curved stamp dates back around 1926-1938. This one also had solid bolsters. It was nice enough to take home from the flea market Sunday...
