"Old Knives"

Looks good! I agree, a nice Tramontina is certainly worth a little bit of care. They are very good tools. Good job helping your neighbor out; I hope he said thanks by way of a six-pack (or something). :)

Thank you, sir! Not a very fancy job or anything but at least it's ready for duty once more. Perhaps it'll even be passed down to his 4yr old boy one day... :)
 
Good fix-it job Brett, mind you if that was an old Case- Im sure we would all be screaming at you lol, I bet your neighbour was absolutely stoked!!!

Vince, that set is gorgeous, and its not often you get to find the knife still there-for some reason the spoon, fork seem to hang around but I am sure the knives get slipped into pockets and that's the end of a true set!
But it always great to see your post kind Sir!
 
Vincent, Glad you're posting those great old knives buddy! Scratch and dent gives me a
headache... Thanks buddy.

Toledo, Ohio Hardware retailer, 1877 onward. 3 1/4 "closed, rosewood body and scales, steel liners, bolsters and pins. Well used, excellent snap, a clean example of a somewhat scarce pattern, used for making parallel cuts into the bark of the host plant. Twin spey blades are nicely ground and swedged on both sides.


















 
Cool Vince. And a way rare pattern. There is a museum on the grounds of the Botanical Gardens in St. Louis that has a set of those in varying frame widths. The one you display is the only other I have ever encountered.
 
Oh yeah, its great to see Vince putting up those lovely Vintages - that's for sure - thank you Vince!!

I put this up in another thread but thought it may have place here...

 
Good lord! Never get tired of seeing those, Duncan!
 
A great line up Duncan, beautiful knives. The fifth from the right on the top line looks very interesting pattern and shield.

Duncan! What an impressive collection of real cutting tools. Thanks for sharing these wonderful knives and the great assortment of patterns, too. :)
 
Good morning my friends, and thank you for your comments, old knives are great aren't they!!
Mike - the knife you pointed out is a Kutmaster -yes the Shield caught my eye as well, what on Earth would you call that Shield??
Kutmaster Dog Bone Shield!!

Ya think!:p Pretty nice pile there Duncan! I was going to ask about the barbell/dog bone as well. Caught my eye right away. It would be fun to take that picture alone and see how many makers could be identified.
 
Here is a very old Walden Knife Co. 3 5/8" Jack. It has full blades but was put away many years ago in a damp place. It took a lot of effort to get the rust off the blades. The pen blade has an arched Walden stamp the only arched stamp I have seen on a Walden blade. Nickel silver bolsters and shield look new. To quote Neil Young "Rust Never Sleeps..."

Wow -I was going to say what a shame, but I guess I cant - because its still a grand knife!!! it looked as though it was in spectacular condition before the rust crept in - but you still have a great user there that has a lot of takes to tell - awesome.

Paul I think this is an outstanding knife. Contrary to many, including my own, ideas about restoration, I think you did a fine job. It is a nice contrast between old and new within one knife. You did not diminish the blades much from what it appears. When that knife was put away it had not seen much use. Very nice indeed:thumbup::thumbup:
