There's a lot of miles left on that Empire! They did fit stag nicely in their heyday. And rightly so, since it was Sheffield cutlers who started the company, initiating that fine legacy.
They also blackened a lot of stag, giving it a more formal look.

I recently picked up an old Robeson Regular Jack dated to somewhere between 1917 and 1939. It still has a ton of life left in it to top it off, it takes one wicked edge!!!

Gorgeous knives, Charlie!
I hope that I'm sharp after 70+ years.
Rick, Send me a PM if you want to borrow the knife for your photo.

I found these two over the weekend-
By coniferwoodsman at 2011-05-31
Top is a Queen from the twenties and the bottom is a Kent , I'm guessing 40's. Blades have the tips broken and some serious wear on the secondary blade of the Queen. The real bummer, though is this-

As you can see, or mayhaps you can't but the scale on the Pile side of the Queen is broken. Such a shame as this is really nice bone.
All the Best,

My grandmother gave me this knife yesterday, it belonged to her father. Her father (my greatgranddad) was born in 1895 and got this knife in his teens when he was working at the docks of Antwerp harbor (Belgium). She doesn't know if he made it himself or that he bought it from a local knifemaker. Anyway, the knife was in bad shape, all rusty, filled with dirt. I cleaned it up but some of the patina is still there (I don't mind). I took some before & after pictures. I've also added an edge to it, but have no pictures of that yet.
You can clearly see it's and old folding knife (approx. 100yo), strange locking mechanism as well. Anyway, enjoy!
Before:
picture of the lock:
After:
I still got some work to do, but this is the result so far. There was still rabbit hair in the handle (he used the blade to skin small game etc.) and since this person died in 1978... Go figure
