Hey Vince - You could have bought that Maher & Grosh for $1.50 in 1887!

 

[Berkley]

Interesting -"1.50 dollars in 1887 had the same buying power as 33.53 current dollars", according to the Historical Currency Converter. I don't know of many current knives in that price range that are made like that one.

Here's an interesting 3 5/8" Balloon Pen. I found a cut in the 1937 Schrade Catalog "E" supplement.
It's a pattern 7633 (inked on the back as well!). Schrade called the blade a "Zulu Spear"!
Ran it by Tony B. and he reckons you could call it a modified wharncliffe. Not your usual traditional knife blade.

waynorth that's a great knife & that blade is really nice.You need to send that one to me
