This is the TRADITIONAL subforum, even If somebody has BM's or other tactical knives he probably would'nt show them (I had two myself before I switched back, but thats not the point)

Great knives everybody, may the folksy be with you :D :thumbup:

Someone needs a roadmap . . . . . . . errr, forum map! Lost in spaaaaaacccce!
 
Dang I need to quit buying knives and get a camera.

Blues' Winchester is really a beaut as CNAS pointed out.

I manged to pick up an XX toenail at Blade that had not been messed with at all. Blade even has an original finish. No marks (other than slight rub on the back swedge ridge of the main blade which is going to happen on a toenail by Case if you open the blades. It looks like it just came out of the factory today rather than 50 or 60 years ago.

Tony Foster was kind enough to confirm what I thought about the knife (original untouched finish). It was a pretty good snag (especially for the great condition and price.) Big thanks to Tommy at Blue Ridge for a great deal on this puppy.

Just picked up this little whittler (online). The knife is in great condition, but had a question about the tang stamps. One is makred Made in the USA and one is not. Is that just becasue there was not room on the small blade tang, or could it be a replacement?

Thanks for steppin' up and mannin' up Folder Dude. :thumbup:
You're always welcome. Who knows, we may bring you into the fold. ;)
 
A guy at work has a Pal that's just like that remington but with a spear blade. The jigging looks similar too. Pal and Remington were related somewhere in time I think. It's a well made knife with Nickel silver liners.
 
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ huh, oh Remington hmmm ZZZZZZZZZ right, right
I must have been dreaming! Something about girls with knives! A sea change!! Life is good. . . Hey Campbell what's your address?? (PM me maybe)!
Knives from that Remington's time period often had different tang stamps on different blades. The non-US stamp does indeed fit better on the pen blade! I've seen older Case knives with completely different stamps on each of three or four blades, and I swear those knives have never been apart. The nicer old knives have stamps on all blades, one of many things I like about them! And, stamps changed, but blades lingered, so that's part of the mix. If a cutlery had an over-production of 20,000 Case Tested pen blades, you can bet they would use them in Case XX (later) knives.
The main thing with old knives is learning the subtle signs of monkey business; internal scratches, altered blade shapes, on and on. I love the challenge of it.
The best education is looking at knives, a pleasant pastime as well.
Boy am I ever rambling. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
 
Folks learn a thing or two reading your ramblings, Charlie!
I certainly enjoy your posts! Thanks for sharing!
 
Charlie, yep a very pleasant past time, sitting around digging through the vault to fondle some more knives, nothing better than eyeing over a handful of old vintage bone handled knives :)
 
Here's an old one I picked up the other day. Can anyone tell me how old it is? Imperial over Prov. R.I., USA on the pen.

Several companies made a boatload of that model for issue during WWII. Surplus parts carried them over into the 1950s etc. So likely 1940s to early 1960s. Someone with more specific knowledge may be able to pin it down further.
 
Let's see how this one comes out.

The stamp reads: "J Nowill & Sons Sheffield"
The reverse has a pair of crossed keys, an asterisk, and a "D"

Heavily engraved silver handles, hope it comes through in the pic.
The engraving includes four stamps:
"J.N"
a crown,
a lion,
what looks like a small "d".
