What a couple of gorgeous Challenges! Love the Double Bolsters with those big Rats Tails on the HJ, The Bone on both of them is just fantastic!
The other side of the trade!! I'm always looking for Buffalo Cutlery knives!! They are usually made by Schrade, as is the likely contractor for this slim Stockman!!
Augie, that really is one sweet knife! What a beauty!
Big pic, of a Small knife!!!A simple dark red jigged Case XX (40-64) Nut. The new ones pale in comparision, too blocky for the most part, but this seems to have a wee bit larger blade stock than modern Case Peanuts and simply feels better in hand.
Nice one, Paul!!

That Peanut is in fantastic shape my friend- what a sweetheart of a knife!
Nice handful of Jacks!!!
(I know this is just the GEC collector in me, but man, that knife could almost pass for a GEC #77, or perhaps it's the other way around. I think it's a really a testament to how close GEC gets to making knives "like they used to make 'em.")
but I do think it's close enough to be of interest here. It's a single blade folder with a “blade” that I would have originally assumed was a spatula, like you'd find on a doctor's knife. After a bit of research, however, I don't think that's what it is. The tang stamp reads, "F.W. DEVOE & Co, N.Y." F.W. Devoe was a manufacturer of paints and artists supplies, dating as far back as the 1750s and into the 20th century. I think this might have actually been an artists palette knife. (I don't think a fancy folding palette knife sounds like a very practical tool — really it just sounds like a mess — but it's still my best guess.) I have no idea who might have made the knife, or how old it is. I'd venture a guess at maybe early 20th century, but it would really just be a guess.
