"Old Knives"

[Primble]

Thanks for the kind comment everyone.

This is a Victorian knife with a cigar fork among the attachments.

Very nice example S-K and a lot of useful implements on that knife. The purse/case adds a lot, as well. :thumbup:

Nice Ibberson ADEE :thumbup:

The Boker is excellent and it does look like the also excellent Remington example. Regardless of who made what, both are beauties!

Primble, interesting investigative work my friend:thumbup: The hunt, digging, investigating, trading and buying all culminates to a fantastic passion that in itself produces amazing collections but more amazing are the stories, memories and friendship that truly last a lifetime

I marvel at your wonderful collection every time I see it:thumbup:

I could not have said it better!

Thank you Paul, Jack, and Gevonovich. :thumbup:

Thanks Primble :thumbup:

 

[ADEE]

smiling-knife What a lovely old "multitool". Anything with a button hook makes it to me. I must learn how a cigar fork is used. Thanks for showing these gems.

Primble Investigations aside that really is a great and well displayed collection. Thanks for showing it.

Jack Thanks for showing another IBBERSON to add to the series. It's great .. an Oyster Bar knife !! I note that it says G.IBBERSON & Co .. is that another variant.

Thanks to all. Ad.

Very classy, Jack. Fit for a king. That would be George VI, correct?

I like the pinstripes,do you think the covers are cell?

 

[ADEE]

Nice one Jack.
But I couldn't resist this. Another T. TURNER & Co. In good working order.

Jack and Adee- very neat Turners. I bet you more than anything that those knives work as good as a brand new quality knife. Thanks for sharing.

Primble my friend. Your new Primble Saw Cut Barlow in our good mate Jacks words "Smashing" - man it really is. That India Steel Works Jack - Whew.... the Bone is spectacular the jig work is exceptional my friend - and it's knives like this that open the door to us understanding just why Primble India Steel Work knives are so very popular to collect- and very hard to collect- after all who would want to let go of knives like this?

Thanks a lot r8shell, you are right on both counts

Nice to see that beauty again my friend, a great find that one :thumbup:

Really liked the button and the knife is nice too Jack. :thumbup:

Thanks Mr P, two lovely old Primbles, truly smashing!

Here's a Joseph Elliot penknife that I always forget to carry for some reason.

 

[smiling-knife]

Great Primbles. Nice penknives Jack and ADEE.

Here's another Thomas Turner.

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks S-K, that's a really nice one :thumbup:

Here's something far more humble from Harrison Fisher.

Here are a couple I picked up this week, a Valley Forge Cutlery Company NJ which from what I can figure is from the early to mid 1900's and a Fairmount Cutlery NY. If anyones knows anything about either knife I appreciate the input.

 

[Jack Black]

Wow, two nice Jacks there Augie :thumbup:

 

[ADEE]

Some lovely stuff appearing here.
Primble More excellence from you .. many thanks. It's useful to me to note the dates of these knives ... thanks for that.
Campbellclanman Thanks for the kind words. It's true that many of the oldies still work well but I seem to find plenty that are broken and wobbly.
smiling-knife A fabulous Turner "ENCORE" and in such good condition. Thanks for showing.
Jack More goodies from you my friend ... I can't keep up ! I'm still on T. TURNER & Co.
Augie Two lovely, handsome knives .. sorry I can't help with info. Nice photos too. Thanks.

Still on T. TURNER & Co. I find it hard to show the sweetness of these jewelry like items with a photo. This one is like new in the way it snaps. Very pocketable at 2 1/2 inches.

Very nice old knives Augie - no help on the history.

Thank you ADEE and that small Turner & Co. pen is very nice. :thumbup:

I finished the blade work and forced a patina back on the Primble Barlow:

It looks really nice in person (and still looks old) and the gloomy weather today did not make for good photos.

Augie
Fairmount was a Camillus house brand, which there were many, such as Camco, Stainless Curlery Co., Streamline ( a fav ), Syracuse, to name a few.

I have a few of these house brands and they are very well made knives and talk about getting sharp!

The dates range for your wonderful Valley Forge is 1892-1950. I do have one example which I adore but yours sure is a dandy!!

What is the closed length on the VF?
