Very nice P.A.W. Eye candy everywhere on that one... pearl art. blade art, bolster art, shield and I especially like the full length pull on the pile side. Very cool.

This one below dates to 1857 and is most likely my oldest knife... John Yeomans Cowlishaw

Very nice! I love the dogleg style. I haven't seen many with the makers marks on the show side of the blade before, that and the long pull give a pretty cool look. Does yours have any spring tension to it? Mine is basically a friction folder at this point, and I'm wondering if it ever had any snap and maybe the tang wore down or if the spring was always basically decorative.

I think 50 years qualifies this as an "Old Knife"!!

Taking Charlie's word for it this qualifies, as it's almost exactly 50. A rare open stock model 832 in wood-grained Delrin, the same size and blades as a 34OT.

Great Lamb, Steve!!!

Thanks Charlie !

 

[Campbellclanman]

That is a real beaut there Steve! Well done my friend, Wow!

 

[Augie]

Beaut of a lamb Steve, congratulations!

Couple decent early Camillus jacks, a 3 line with arched pen easy open jack and a nice bare end 4 line jack, this knife with hammered pins and early bone is an example of why I don't believe the tang stamp charts for 4 line knives.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Augie, those are just fantastic - nothing ( well almost nothing ) gets better than these earlier Camillus Big full bladed Jacks- wow!

Thanks Duncan, early Camillus jacks seem to be tough to find in decent condition. That EO was someones favorite and they kept it sharp, it has razor edge.

I'm amazed that fruit knives aren't more popular because they are the pinnacle of a cutler's artistry. Beautiful examples guys.

Wostenholms are among my favorites and England's finest.

John, another two to enlarge the museum.
