"Old Knives"

[Campbellclanman]

Mike! you don't stop hitting us with these beauties! I love those Old Wood Knives very much! Each one is still to this day in great condition!

@rddp Nice wee Pen knife! Victorian! there is always so much information when looking up these English Markings!

Here is a true "pen knife". Real tortoise and ready to trim a quill pen. There's a name scratched into the scale but I can't read it. I thought the "To Her Majesty" was interesting.
Happy Friday All !!

Nice Pen, rddp!!

Your slim knife reminded me I have this one stashed away!! 3 1/4"long, and less than 3/8" abeam, it is strikingly skinny!! All tangs marked, with Joseph Rodgers&Sons stamped on the blade; and Cutlers to Her Majesty on one tang, it is probably Victorian - late Victorian, as it is marked England!!!!
Black Horn handles!!!

Added a very nice condition Hobo knife to the pile. Most likely Camillus made with the butter knife blade profile, Tang stamped Hibbard Spencer Bartlett and Co, pretty sure fairly early WW1 era with the hammered pins, has great bone.

That is a stunner. I'd keep that one in the safe ....I am a sucker for Hobo knives but ONLY if the spoon is a spoon with some belly. These "Hobo" knives with barely a spoon are not for me.

Thanks!! Closer to 1900, as it is marked "England", so after 'country of origin' was required!! Still pretty old; Like yours!!!

Now that's what I call "full coverage jigging!" Wonderful knife!

Nice pen quill knife, gotta love old stag.

I purchased this knife for my father as a birthday present 40 years ago. I was a teenager.

He passed sometime ago - this knife was still in his rotation!!!

Old Hibbard Spencer & Bartlett 4 3/8" English jack, pocket worn pick bone, just a nice old honest knife. Pretty sure with the large shield it's Camillus made.

A nice Ulster D340 harness jack showed up today, not a whole lot of wear, love bare end jacks.
