Thanks guys. It's a neat little knife. Another nice one Lyle. (You've dialed in your scanning skills.)

 

[Primble]

Super specimen, Mike! Just a treat to see, thanks!

+1 Mike!!! :thumbup:

That Camillus is a stunner. Love that long pull and swedge. The color and jigging are beautiful. Any chance of seeing it open?

Thank you Bill. It can be found opened here - about mid-page to bottom:http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/527126-quot-Old-Knives-quot/page278

My latest,a
Maher and Grosh. I don't know who made it yet,but it looks similar to a Camillus I have and the K & B Cutsure,at least the bone does...? I don't have all my knives at the present,will confer as much as possible later.

More wonderful-ness Lyle! :thumbup: I love those farmers - I was looking at a nice old one to purchase the other day, but, decided to pass.

Old bone handled Schrade Cut. Co., Walden N.Y. Easy Opener today, circa 1917-1946 :

Closed length at 3 and 3/8 inches.

This knife is not quite as photogenic as I expected. The black patina around the shield looks dull and dirty in the photos, but, semi-gloss like the rest of the bone and quite lovely in person - giving it an antique patina. Not really sure why it does not like it's picture being took. It also had a really proud shield pin that I was able to carefully assist in making it disappear. The blades on this one look very nearly unused.

I will try to get more flattering pictures and some with the blades open, at some later date.

Very nice collection of B&M knives! Always nice to see knives from your collection Charlie.

This is from the Voyles museum auction: "Hilger & Sons Celebrated, Germany four blade carved pearl equal end with grooved bolsters and grooved center spacer. All blades long pull, Salesman sample numbers on the back of the master blade, mint except for some specking and a line of pits on the upper swedge of the master blade. 3 1/4 closed."

As always Mike, outstanding!

Mike B,I like those old red bone Cases too,especially have a fondness for single spring opposite ends.

Perry,that cattle is special.

Mike R that Hilger is exquisite,simply stunning,what a knife.I think you got a bargain.

A new addition to the family! Very nice.

This one is on fire, Lyle!! I had to copy the picture to get some more stare time.

Nice Voos, WMB- looks almost unused.

I'm sorry, I missed your reply. thank you. I think it was used maybe once, to cut something it had no business cutting. it had what sure looks like factory edge, very sharp, except at the curved part, and then scratches, as if it had cut sandpaper. I have not been able to polish out the scratches, so I just sharpened it up and put it in my pocket. it keeps its edge unbelievably well.

Oh man- thats a sweetheart of a knife there Primble, I think your photo does the knife justice :thumbup:, but I think it would look better on my table Sir - to me that would do the knife justice

Still a nice knife that you don't see everyday. The ez open makes it more desire able in my eyes. Almost as nice as that '75 stockman

Much appreciated Duncan!

I agree with you that it would probably look and photograph better in that charming "Paradise-New Zealand Light".

The trouble is that probably all of us that post on this thread most likely thinks - "that last knife posted needs to be on our table"!

Best regards,
Primble

P.S. - I will scratch "send me to Duncan if you ever want to do me justice" into the back of the master blade tomorrow.

Also - Thank you Jon!

Much appreciated Barry and it keeps mine going as well - I like a lot of different knives, but, the old knives are my favorites!

Gorgeous NYKco!

Here's one you don't see every day. Allen Cutlery Co Newburgh NY. Circa 1917-25. Measures 4 7/8". The model name is an offensive term by today's standard so I edited the original add as to not offend anyone.

John Primble Belknap bone handled stockman at 3 1/2 inches closed, probably a 1940's-1960's era knife.

This knife was generously gifted to me by "Old & In the Way"

I think it is a very useful pattern, with it's blade configuration.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Old and in the way will never be in the way here in Traditionals-he seems like one hang-of-a-nice-guy, and to gift such a stunning knife such as that beautiful example you have shown in your tremendous way you do....just Wow factor.

Stunning knife-that Bone used on the Primble is particularly nice indeed!

Can I say this, be it a bold statement? ..... that Primble shown could sit side by side with any Schrade Walden and still look good respectfully!

Nice knife.
I've been meaning to ask, does your user name indicate your favoritism to these knives, or are you maybe related to the Knife maker Primble?

Thank you sir. The short answer, if you can believe I have such an answer, is that my Uncle Joe nick-named me "Primble", when I was nine years old. The nick-name stuck and many of my closest and oldest friends - today and yesterday - continue to call me by my nick-name. The long answer can be found here:
