Thank you Mike, that cattle knife of yours is a absolute beauty.
Lovely bone. Thank goodness the grinder guy didnt get too carried away and still left lots of blade! Lovely knife.

Great pictures Duncan. Those are some great lookin knives

A knife I got recently, I believe it dates to 1940's - 50's. The bone scales look and feel great although one side is a bit darker than the other. Fittings are brass and the shield is pinned.

Thats a terrific Schrade Mike

Not as pretty as Anthony's, but I picked it up for a song - Case XX trapper

 

[Robert.B]

I dunno, that nice worn bone is quite pretty in its own way! great looking piece.

I love these older 1940-64 and prior Trappers. The slimmer slightly curvier frame is much more pocket friendly than Case's current production Trapper pattern. And I am with Robert.B that wonderfully pocket worn jigged red bone is just gorgeous!. One perfect pocket companion! Well done.


Best,
Anthony

Absolutely.. That knife has a lot of stories to tell, and it still has many more years of enjoyment left in it. I agree, the older ones had a much nicer feel to them. Not sure why they decided they should be big and blocky

Thank you all for your kind words re the Schrade cattle knife, here's another recent buy, Cattaraugus cutlery jack, 3" closed. Has some pitting due to careless handling in the past, other than that in a new condition. I love the asymmetrical swedge on the main blade.

[Campbellclanman]

Mike, that is a little beauty, I agree, the swedge is great, and sometimes that alone can almost make the knife!, is that Rogers bone on the knife? whatever it is, that knife is a great knife. What era would this knife be from?...50's? and I can bet you that knife walks and talks with the best of them.

Thanks Duncan. I guess it's late production 50's-60's, the bone looks great though I can't tell whether it' Rogers or not, it has loud walk and talk and smooth action to the blades. One thing that bothers me is that I haven't found the pattern number on the list of Catt. patterns. So I have to keep on digging.

Another Cattaraugus cutlery knife, peanut this time. I think that the main blade is graceful.
The knife is in the middle of SPA treatment to remove years of dirt and some active rust.

This old folder has tremendous snap. All I can make out on the tang is phoenix. It is well pitted but still in great condition.

 

[lambertiana]

Nice Phoenix! There are a few different companies who used Phoenix in the name, including the Phoenix Knife Co, Phoenix, NY. But what I can make out of the rest of the stamp does not match this, so I'm not sure about this knife. The Phoenix Knife Co started as the Central City Knife Co in 1880, and changed to the Phoenix Knife Co in 1892. They went out of business in 1916 after the factory burned down. I seem to recall a Knife World article about them. Maybe someone will be able to positively identify it.
