Wow, Jason! The bone on that Remington is fantastic. I don't know where you find all these great old knives, but I'm sure glad you give us a chance to see them.

Thank you for posting, your Royal Remingtonness!

Another Ulster

That is one very, very nice knife Lambertiana!!
There seems to be something about Ulster that just made sure a knife with their name on it was going to shine out amongst others....I bet they didnt know that 60 years + that knife would still do so, THIS is what Traditionals is all about.
Thank you for showing us this great knife!

Here's a Robeson Swell Center Whittler and a 4 Line Camillus Balloon Jack both approx. 3 5/8". The Camillus was in rough shape when I purchased it. Someone wire wheel brushed or scotch brighted it, and it spent some time on the grinder. Both blade tips sat proud of the liners and were tipped a bit. I filed down the kicks and re-profiled the blade tips. Then wet dry sanded it by hand to 1000 grit. I don't advocate knife cleaning but this was a rescue. The Robeson is as found, I love the grinds and blade shape along with the old mellow bone.

 

[waynorth]

Nice save, Paul! Two good'uns!

 

[Gevonovich]

Paul

Wow...wow...I really like them both!!

 

[Doug Add]

Beauties for sure, Paul. Nice find, and nice work. I am almost afraid to venture into old knives as it will open up a whole new arena for emptying my wallet. But the appearance of the old bone on some of these is almost more temptation than a man can bear!

 

[Railsplitter]

I really like that Balloon Jack. Very nice pattern.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Im liking that 4-liner Paul, but Oh Boy...that Robeson would feel just right sitting in my pocket

 

[thawk]

Paul, the blade grinds on the Robeson are classic. That little clip on the end is a real corker! :thumbup:

 

[Paul M]

Thanks for the compliments Guys!

These are certainly not old knives by the standard set by most of you in this thread, but they are the oldest ones I presently own. I purchased the Schrade serpentine jack and the Colonial Barlow when I was a young boy in the late '60s/early '70s. The Böker Tree Brand stockman I probably bought in the late '80s when I was building docks.

My recent renewal of interest in pocket knives has caused me to get these three out and do some work on them. I knocked down most of the rust that had accumulated on the Böker due to it sitting in a slot of a leather tool pouch for the past 20 years. I am in the process of finding someone to rescale the Colonial. The Schrade, which was the last gift I gave my grandad, has an honored place of retirement.

I decided to snap a few photos of them this afternoon.
