Cleaned her up a bit for a new pic....Love the old stag..nothing like 100 years of patina to bring out the beauty.

If only that Marlin Spike could talk, I bet it would tell quite the tale.

I think I have posted this old IXL in another thread, a while back. I thought I would post it here as well:

Isk it's a great looking knife what's the closed lengths?
Primble, you can post this IXL as many time as you like, it'll never be enough.

A most interesting pattern that one ISK.

Double Rat-tails and Swell-Centre and Swell-End! Sabre master and really fine tang stamps make it unusual and I'd say sought after.

Regards, Will

Picked up this Ibberson's Sleeveboard in ivory yesterday. The joints were so rusty it was a struggle to open the blades and one of them sits proud, the liners were covered in thick verdigris, and there was some sort of glue on the covers and on one of the blades. Just having a go at cleaning it up. The blades seem OK, but I'm concerned about the spring.

I hope you can revive it, Jack! That's a lovely, elegant example.
