"Old Knives"

[majorpain1]

Couple of EO jacks for the collection. The Remington is pretty much shot but still cool. The Sword brand is a small version.

Great stag

I agree Mike and the same sentiment on your Kabar and the knife below Luso.

An unusual curved New York Knife Co. 2 full blade jack, 3 7/8", sheepsfoot secondary. Jacks with 2 large blades are uncommom.

Another unusual one, L.L.H. Co, Cleveland OH. Lockwood-Luetkemeyer-Henry Co was a hardware store selling cutlery along with many other items. This is a large fat 4" jumbo jack with a pronounced swell to the tail end of the knife. Interestingly enough it has a faint McIntosh Heather etch, McIntosh Heather was another Cleveland hardware store that L.L.H. acquired around 1911, looks like they continued to use the McIntosh name. Probably one of the most unusual variations of a jack knife I have in the collection.

I posted this in the thread about GEC #97s but I think it belongs here as well. I have two coke bottle slipjoints and decided to take a comparison shot with my 97. The 97 looks a little puny now, eh?

I'm told it belonged to my Great Opa who got it sometime between 1910 and 1940. I tried to narrow it down some more, but everyone who would have known the provenance is now dead. So it goes.

The only markings are "GILBERT SAVILLE WORKS, LTD." Great Opa was born and lived in Central Texas, but had a stint in Boston as an Ordinance supply officer in 1917-1919. He also went to St. Louis once, so he could have picked it up anywhere in between.

I find it interesting that my older one also has both a nail nick and a long pull. Despite its age and obvious use it still has a strong spring, half stop, great walk and talk, and almost no wiggle when opened. It is still ready for work around the corral and in the pasture.


Also, take note: used pizza boxes make a great backdrop for knife photos.

Short story with the Walden trapper is I was working in a elderly womens home who had widowed some decades ago. Her husband had a workbench in basement that she offered us to take what we could use. Along with some really great old school files there was this trapper pattern Schrade Walden. Was more than happy to clean it up a bit and give a new home.
