They are all Mint other than the Peanut - pretty much unused bar Patina really!

 

[mike Berkovitch]

I hate to keep being a stalker to you Perry and following everything you say - but I agree totally, NOTHING ( well ok Peach-seed ) beats Cases Red Bone from the Vintage years,

I think you are right Duncan, you knives are beautiful !

Ok Sir....( Please excuse the Oil dripping all over the blades )

They are all rather beautiful sir ! I really liked your prop setup too.:thumbup:

While you got em out, why not give us individual shots of each one of em fer the next week or so??

 

[MerryMadMonk]

Duncan, those are beautiful knives... and great pictures!

1902-1930 Camillus USA Scout Easy Open Jack, long nail pull, antique brown bone, four line tang stamp.

This old knife has some nice full blades and nice patina. This old steel sharpens up quickly to a keen edge.
I am really fond of the main blade on this knife.

The bone is chip and crack free and is attractive, however, probably would not win a beauty contest.

I would have loved to own this knife back in 1962, when I was eight years old and wore this tiny little uniform.

I reckon most any cub scout would have loved to had this ole knife laid out on the pocket of their uniform.

 

[singin50]

WOW, that's a great shot too! I had the same uniform although later in the 60s.

That's a beauty Primble. Those old Camillus tang stamps are really cool.

 

[glennbad]

Great looking EO and backdrop! Blade is pretty full too, nice one.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Primble- I personally love the Bone on that knife! I have two of them and I know just what you mean about being such great knives! Love the shot with your old uniform !

A very rare and special knife.

Rare because of the obscure mark,age,and pattern. These were made only in the late 1880s and early 1890s.

Special because I didn't know I had it until I opened the mail box a few days ago and found the package.

Thanks again for your thoughtfulness and generosity Mike Losicco (Galvanic), and this is not the first time..

This is the trademark stamp on my knife's blade.

This is what it looked like originally. (not my knife)

 

[Simple Man]

WOW, howabout that, Quite nice. :thumbup:

 

[Campbellclanman]

Very Interesting knife Lyle, I LOVE those old Stampings!!, and to Galvanic - well done to you Sir for thinking of Lyle and his beautiful collection - THATS what is at the heart of Traditionals here because of people like you!

Just arrived.

 

[wlfryjr]

Thanks guys,I usually post these on the roosters and farmers thread. Thought it fitting to make sure others knew of Mike L's generosity and thoughtfulness.

This one's pretty much used,but still has good snap for a 120-130 year old knife.

You may not ever see another Fabyan marked farmers jack.Got that W Saynor too Mike,thanks.

No more XX mint knives for you. You have more than your fair share my friend

Very nice and rare knife!

Here's an old John Blyde Swayback with jigged brown bone covers and a "Real Lamb Foot" master blade. I picked this one up for a deal and when it got to me it was covered with some sort of tar. After a little mineral oil bath and some lite elbow grease she cleaned up pretty good! Mr. Blyde made excellent knives back then and this one is without exception, still has great snap, deep rat-tailed steel bolsters, and really nice thick bone covers!!!
