Mark - that's a gorgeous teardrop. Very nice. :thumbup:

KJ - those are some real beauties you showed above. I especially like the MOP Northfield and the J. Rodgers. Thanks for sharing them with us.
 
When I was over in Huddersfield this week, ADEE presented me with a belated birthday present :) :) :)

Jack - Wow! What a wonderful old knife and terrific birthday gift. Well done ADEE! :thumbup:

Brad - beautiful EO. I love the color of the covers on that one. :thumbup:
 
That New York Knife Co. Small Stock knife i think is a rare knife because i have never seen one before. And the condition of this knife is "Wow".
It is amazing really how much of a sense of satisfaction i feel when i have a 'special' vintage knife, as this one is. I'm sure you know this good feeling.

If i could take pictures like some of those who post here, these knives would be "poppin' ". My pics have 'dulled' them down. Nuf excuses, here they are:

This is the "?". Might have been made by Henckels but is marked: J.S. Holler&Co. / Adolph Blaich / San Francisco and on the reverse side: logo arrow in an oval / Razor Steel / Germany on all 3 blades. From above picture you can see how thick the master blade stock is. This is why it could be Henckels made. They used thicker stock than any of the other vintage German folders i have or have seen. But, maybe there were others ?

Henckels 3 5/8" Serpentine Whittler with Stag ( "Henckels' Stag"). Powerful knife.

Henckels 3 1/2" Four Blade Senator, Pearl. This is where vintage German cutlery got close to vintage Sheffield. Difficult to date vintage Henckels knives as they made the same patterns, same markings, for many years, maybe 75 years or thereabouts. The original purse with this knife is also in top condition. These old purses did not hold up well, often the clasp hinge is broken, holes in leather, etc. so it is the exception to get one in such fine condition.

And here is the Mann, sweet 2 7/8" Serpentine Pen with Stag, made for Abercrombie & Fitch

I feel like i am insulting this knife because these pics just didn't 'get it'. Rubies front & back and they hardly even show here. But i am loving this little knife so much i have to post it now.

Back side open & Alox 3 5/8" SAK

Closed length 1 5/8". This is in an old Henckels catalogue, without the stones. I think it is an amazing little knife because it's 'real', nice walk & talk, no blade play & thin grind with sharp edges. I just picked this up and i'm so thrilled i'm in a 'Knife Excited State'.
