"Old Knives"

[John A. Larsen]

The marking looks like a drawn bow with an arrow, cannot figure out what the letters are. John

Does anyone know what this knife is?View attachment 3139479 This is the only picture I have of the partial stamp.

I was thinking Voos but yours has a diamond stamp over the arrow.

I was thinking the bottom lettering was the end of England?

That H&B shield was adopted by LF&C who bought them in 1912.

Not sure this can be bettered Slabs look like they've been 'poured' molten lava style. Incredibly beautiful knife.

Thanks, Will

this is one of my favorite threads,hopefully it's going to save a lot of the older traditional knives,when stainless came out it caused a lot of people to throw out their "stained dirty" old knives,I remember cutting up some BBQ and the wife commenting on why i was using a dirty knife,I remember years ago people commenting on the great improvements In knives with the evolution of stainless and thus the good old carbon found itself on the bottom of boats and the back of sno machines to die a slow death.

It was poured and I like it too.

I agree.

The Old Knives forum is worth it just for the bone alone. The wimmenfolk chase cosmetics for beauty and their husbands chase knives for the same reason (safer, too).

I probably have posted this Remington before but I had bone on my mind and I thought of it again.

Cal, both the Remington and the Cattaraugus are stunners!

Here are a couple new-to-me old fixed blade knives from Imperial and Remington, both with jigged bone handles.

I haven’t found any info on the cursive Imperial stamp (though I also haven’t dug that deep yet), but I sure do like the way it looks.

The Remington is stamped “Remington DuPont” which I believe dates it between 1933 and 1940, and the model number, “RH-4”.

No sheath with the Imperial, unfortunately, but the Remington has one. It’s not in the best shape, but still in one piece, and you can still slightly see the “Remington UMC” embossed on the leather.

A couple of nice FBs, Barrett! I've never seen that cursive "Imperial" marking before!!??

Lovely small fixies. At some point I discovered that well over half of all Remington sheaths were 'left' hand, as they decided that the knife was to be carried on the left side of the body and one's handgun on the right. Well.... I am fine with that, but for me, I want a right-hand sheath, worn on the left side of the body. It's all good, though.

Barrett, those are two very cool Fixed Blades there- the Bone Handles are always quite spectacular on them aren’t they!

Cal, you followed up with three outstanding Remington fixed blades

Thanks, Charlie. I hadn’t seen it either, although that doesn’t mean much.

Thanks, Duncan. The bone on them is quite nice, great looking jigging, and they both feel good in hand.
