Great bunch of old knives Cal.

Here is a very large and unusual jack from a tiny company in NY that you probably never heard of.

Holy Cow!!! That is one VERY nice big ol' Jack right there Cal, Superb!

Early Washington jack. We woke up to snow and wind and most of today, so I have just been puttering around in the cutlery.

Cal rolling a combination out where the jab and the follow-up landed cleanly! - Seeing stars now Cal!

I keep this one downstairs and have the smoke alarm armed so if it's gonna get me I at least have a warning. 90 to 100 years and counting; I had a priest say the last rites over me once and I am fairly hard to scare now.

Now how is that for Swage work! Beautiful Knife Cal, the Celluloid looks like it's behaving itself, you must have a good ambient temperature there that it likes?

That's a neat Ol' Cut Co. Jack there Augie- who in their right mind would walk past that one?

I thought this was an interesting little knife. The handles on this old Remington are some sort of dark red synthetic material, not sure if it’s celluloid or some other sort of early synthetic. It looks and feels a bit like Bakelite to me, but I couldn’t say for sure.

The handle material (whatever it is) wraps around the back side of the knife, enclosing the backspring (which is about 2/3 the length of the closed knife, ending at that last pin beneath the “Remington” on the handle).

Here’s the tang stamp (1924-1933, I think?).

Very unusual and neat pre-WWII knife.

Interesting Remington!!! Here is some red material, Barrett, which I think might be later than yours on the Remington!! It's a Schrade Walden, and I think they called this material
"Fibestos"!!!!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Barrett - that is a real interesting piece- and it wouldn't matter if you had the most elite Bone handled Remington's, this Knife would display well with them because of its uniqueness - really interesting!

Charlie, Superb Walden. Both of these knives look to have led blessed lives!

Thanks for finding that Catalog picture, Cal!!!

Been looking for one of these KA-BAR barlows for years, they rarely show up, one book states this version of the KA-BAR-LO bolster stamp was only used for 5 years in the 1930's. KA-BAR tang stamp on main, Olean Cut Co on the pen. Knife has full blades, nice color bone but unfortunately was aggressively cleaned which hurts it. Knife will do until I can find an unmolested one which may never occur.

Nice John.

What a show Cal !

 

[tongueriver]

Here is one you won't see every day; I had saved it for a fellow out East but he has drifted away.

Minty celluloid sheepsfoot jack, pretty sure Camillus made for Sears. The Made In U.S.A. tang stamp is attributed to Camillus made knives, don't remember ever seeing the Made In U.S.A. with a Sword Brand tang stamp on the pen, Sword Brand is a Camillus brand.

Great looking knife, I want one

Another recent pick up, a Marshall Wells ebony stabber jack, nice condition with faint etch. Unique pointed front bolster. Most likely made by New York Knife Co.

 

[Mike Robuck]

Wow, great score!

My old, inexpensive kitchen Paya (Ibi, Spain)... would you say it's Douk-Douk style?
