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

Nice Carpenter's Jack. You don't see them often. Here is a similar NYKC Carpenter's jack in the 1902 George Worthington catalog:

And here is a slightly smaller Ulster version in the 1886 HSB catalog:

Hello everyone! I'm new to BF and I'm absolutely stunned by the quality of knives you guys have in your collections! I'm also very exited to show you my humble collection.

May I ask, if I misspeak on something, please feel free to give me a free education. Free ones are the best!

Looking forward to seeing your collection, Mike.
That's a fine boys knife, the match strike pull is a nice feature

 

[WinMag775]

Thank you. Agreed on the match strike pull. It's a wonderful embellishment when done right.

Not many go after small knives like that but I love the little buggers

Here are the 4 I have, 3 are Catt’s and the top left is marked American Cutlery Assoc. 2 Those are dandys, especially your 2 single blades. Thanks for sharing the American Cutlery Assoc. The match strike pull dropping on swedge is very eye catching.

Here is the first knife I bought when I started buying knives to collect. Union Razor Co, Tidioute Pa. I know it’s beat up and used with cracks in the bone but it’s a knife I’ll cherish always. I was at an auction in Greene NY with a lady I was dating, and eventually married, trying to buy some old knives that were in the auction. I lost the auction on it. It sold for 50! The lady said I should offer the high bidder 55 and I did and he sold it to me. Had it ever since!

That's a neat old "Elephant Toe, Mike!!
I have a knife that might have come from the same place!!! I'll be back with a pic, shortly!!

(Charlie goes off to his scanner to do some pics!!)

Here it is!! Stamped Union Cutlery Co, Tidioute, Pa., with Tidioute stamped on the pile side also!! Pile side punch, almost never seen - left handed!!!

They might be the same company!! Union Razor, and Union Cutlery!!

 

[waynorth]

They might be the same company!! Union Razor, and Union Cutlery!!

Bernie Levine says it's true!! Union Razor-1902, became Union Cutlery 1909, and moved to Olean, NY, 1911
