Remington UMC R893 circa 1920 - 1923. One of the rare easy-open patterns to sport a clip point blade instead of a spearpoint.

old knife, Love this pattern!

Received this very small folder today as a gift from a lady at work.
Her boy friend gave it to her to give to me, they're both in their 60's
some where near middle I think and he says the knife belonged to his
mother who had it in a drawer for many years herself. Looks to have
never been used, pearl scales, separate springs for each blade
don't have a ruler handy to meaure it out with, but it's quite small.

On the main blade's tang is a marking with some lettering
almost can read it to be I N E K....
and what looks like a bird pecking into the side of a tree??

on the other side of the tang has what looks to be numbers
662 or 562 something like that.

Here are some images of the knife, it was FULLY covered in rust very badly
blades barely opened, no snap whatsoever, now it's oiled up, blades work
nicely and they also take a rather sharp edge too. Both blades are ground
very thin, no mini-prybars here !

The smaller blade has it's spring wrapped around the top so the metal
fills in what would have been a void on the shorter blade side, nice touch !

Here are some images of the knife;

Info from a fellow forum member says it is a Pine Knot, made around the 1930's 1940' rides along
every day in my front left pocket, small but SHARP blades still cut well
Thanks,
G2

Looks like a Pine Knot to me Gary. They were sold by the Belknap Hardware co, Louisville, KY. They are pretty rare. They sold Pine Knot, John Primble, and Blue Grass pocket knives.

First my friends...I apologize..as this is not a show piece..BUT...it still rocks my boat...this is an old German Jack, smooth bone...totally stained by steel pins, but the whole ...I dont know-its the whole older Jack that I just love, the long thin pull on the main blade-in conjunction with that neat swedge, for the knife's age the blades are so close to full.
The snap is just incredible....it wasnt ready for work when I recieved it, but with a hot soapy rinse, wd-40, and a mineral oil...shes rearing to go!!..I hope you like it, as I think this knife and I are going to spend some time together
Its a very well made knife, and its a pleasure to now own

Gary, That's a fine looking knife. Especially to have gifted to you.

Thanks Tony, it's a sweet little' ole knife to be sure and takes a great edge

and Thanks Bruce, when she first handed it to me, it was much like a small ball of rust! I mean literally encrusted
as if it were just brought up from the ocean floor, I was like 'uh...thanks? ' but a little bit of love and sand paper
and oil she's was back in operation again, worthwhile, but I had my doubts!

Nice knives Jason. Bob Cargill used an oak-leaf shield on some of his earlier knives.

Thanks Mike! That means a lot coming from you. This is the first knife I've seen with that shield... That's not saying a lot..lol. I'm still learning.
But it looks pretty good on that knife...imho

I don't get to "old knives" often enough! It's a nice bunch that has appeared here lately;
Corey, a great EO!
Jason, a small but important collection; a eureka, Rare winchester, and a nice Ward's.
Gary, cool Pine Knot - I think Tony named it.
And Duncan - sigh - the epitome of old Pocket Knife. With its wonderful gnarly patina and fullness, it has enough character to remind me of Abraham Lincoln. Outstanding!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Thank you Charlie!, ...and its always a fantastic thread to get lost in, I consider my self pretty lucky to get to have a look at these lovely knives.
