Charlie.....
This Empire!

I couldn't agree more Duncan!!!

Well a lot of beautiful and interesting knives and conversations since I was last here.
My favorite post was Cal's about the 79 year old lady burned by McDonalds coffee.

As Paul Harvey would say that's the rest of the story.

I should add a knife that's coming in the mail.
Only live one of these I've ever seen. Humason and Beckley.

Lyle, what a beauty you picked up there!

Great knives Lyle, as usual. I really like the Humason.

Thanks Charlie, Duncan, and Mike.

I had a catalog cut for an H & B and wondered if I would ever see one. I found this cut on ebay over 10 years ago. I don't know why I didn't buy the catalog.

Probably, or just brain dead at the time.

Another great one, Lyle! Here is another LF&C example to show that same proprietary material for covers. Who knows what it might be?

 

[Campbellclanman]

Cal, that's a nice one there my friend!

I am a watch nerd and one of the things I like to collect are watches with Pittsburgh jewelers on them or "private labels" as we call them. I started keeping an eye out a while ago for Pittsburgh knives and there was the usual letter openers and zippo lock backs but this Kent was too cool to pass up. Kent being a "private label" for Woolworths and a souvenir from the burgh.

It's a cool little camillus. Pictures with a recent find, an Elgin movement with a pgh jeweler.

Is the blade stainless? The markings on the ricasso are not familiar to me, but if the blade is stainless it might indicate more recent production. Regardless, it's a really cool looking piece.
