"Old Knives"

[waynorth]

Here is an old Union Cutlery Harness Jack, with a flat-ground punch, which is arched and beveled on the pile side!! The handle jigging looks like strings or lines of pickbone - unusual!! WWI era!! Hardly used!!! 3 1/4" only!!
Union eventually changed its name to Ka-Bar!!!

Some really nice classics. How do you guys store and maintain several hundred knives? The smallest bedroom is now my office the closet is gun safe dehumidifier and 6 salesman's sample cases full of knives.

Can someone find the threads on knife storage?? I am sure there have been one or two!!!

Many of the knife collector's faced with the problem of having to store several hundred knives have taken the time to reach out to me to help lessen their burden,I'm fortunate that the wife was willing to give up her half the bedroom to be used for knife storage.im not sure if there's still a list of members with available space and the willingness to unburden the over burdened knife collector,I got on in it's infancy.

What Duncan said!!! Nice Schrade!!!

Nice little advertising Remington!! A give-away sort of knife, but well made!! Deeply dyed, nicely jigged, bone handles, strong snap on both blades!!!
Patina-ed, but hardly used, this knife has a lot of use left in it!!

"A give-away sort of knife"... I know someone that would accept that

New to me, small Robeson jacks 1940-64

Sweet little 3 1/4" Ulster Knife Co ebony jack, small but a little on the fat side, fits well in hand.

What a beauty Augie! Nice pick up.

Thank you Duncan, something about the simple looks of an ebony jack that I really like.

Another pre-war (or maybe during the war??) 4" stockman from Robeson. Some kind of fairly soft resin covers, as they scratch quite easily.

True Augie matey- probably something that most people enjoy would be the Ebony Jack!
