"Old Knives"

[echoscout]

I'm on vacation and away from my knives but here's a picture of the same knife. Thanks for posting the catalog cuts.

Mercy sakes, what a knife!

Swoon! You have some beauties Mike!! Please show us more!!!
(is the red knife metal-handled?)

Thanks Charlie, next week I’ll show the pearls and abalone’s. The red handled one is celluloid. Great color that I couldn’t get to show up

 

[Mike Robuck]

Great group!

I can see why you couldn't resist that one R8shell, a beautiful Ebony Teardrop with that mighty name on the Shield!

Thanks, Duncan. After some gentle cleaning and honing, it's going to be a pretty cool letter opener and pencil sharpener.

Wow, that tulip shield is something different!

Wow Mike

Each one is simply stunning!

Thanks, taken years to get them and it’s been fun

Wow Mike, that is a beauty! Love that fantastic etch.
Love that Keen Kutter Augie. Like you said, lots interesting about that one. Unusual pattern, beautiful bone and a shield seldom seen on a Keen Kutter. The lack of a pattern number, or an etched pattern number which has worn away, indicates an early, pre 1923 knife, in my opinion anyway.
Nice old Empire, r8shell, love the shield.
Holy smokes, Mike, beautiful Utica collection. Beauties each and every one, but, I am especially partial to the Washington jack.

Today, I got this nice little Winchester stockman? (not sure since no spey blade). No reference number stamped, only the 'Winchester Made in USA' stamp. Not sure which period?
The blades still have the factory edges.

Thanks Dan, appreciate your input, I was also thinking an early knife.

1860's-1880's Comissioned J.W. Waterhouse Sheffield, 3 1/4in. Light Pruner.

J.W. had this little guy commissioned by an unknown maker in Sheffield. If anyone recognizes the makers hot air balloon stamp, any info would be great appreciated!

Nice one , looks like the celluloid might be outgassing causing some corrosion.
