"Old Knives"

Annie certainly had flair! I found myself daydreaming about Annie and that she certainly did not lead a threadbare existence;)
 
That a great old knife, Jack!

Am I correct in assuming that the hook tool is a parcel hook similar to the ones on some SAKs, used for carrying packages wrapped in twine? Or is it a button hook?

Someone carried and used that knife well my friend, and I hope that it was Annie :)

Thanks Phil, it is indeed a button hook, probably mainly for a lady's gloves in this case I think :thumbup:
 
A good find Jack. A lovely knife. And well researched too. Thanks for posting.
I hope to catch up with this thread soon after a long absence due to computer failure.

Nice find Jack, and great research.The history is so very much complimentary to our knife collecting passions.
 
Jack, is there a specific term used to describe the type of file work on the middle spring ?
I have seen similar on vintage Sheffield multiblade folders. Is this type of spring filework associated with a particular time period ?
thanks for the education.

I found that filework very interesting KJ. There may be (or have been) a term for it, but I'm afraid I'm not aware of it. I've only ever heard Sheffield cutlers describe the patterns they use in rough terms. It does seem like it might be worth some further research, and I'm sorry for my ignorance on the matter.

I have added three knives to the Primble display and wanted to show the updated cabinet. Glass is removed to prevent reflections.

IKCO doctor's knife, rather rare pattern for IKCO. The secondary blade might not be original but even if so, it looks great. About 3 1/8" closed.

Thank you Jordan, Gevo, Mike, and Joe !! :thumbup::)
 
Primble, your displays are amazing lots of beautiful old knives.
Found a couple older ones this week, a Fairmount, marked NY City, in almost new condition and a Wostenholm TYNE knife, I love the patina the brass has developed.

Gorgeous knives, fellows!

Primble, both displays are just stunning. More than a few in the cases that I would love to see recreated again! The Farmer Jack in particular is surely whetting my appetite for the upcoming #38's :thumbup:

Augie, that Tyne is quite special and would be right at home in an appropriate era museum display!
