"Old Knives"

[Simple Man]

Here is one I ran across last week with some beautiful old bone, I believe it is a Kingston made by Ulster.

That is a beauty. Excellent bone scales.

The LB7 with "Uncle Henry" in script on the tang indicates it is one of the later produced ones. I think this particular tang stamping started some time in the 1990's. A Schrade expert could give a more specific date.

Finally added a knife I've been trying to find for awhile now, a vintage pruner in Stag. Found this Wostenholm with beautiful Stag handles. Not sure when it was made, maybe 1940's.

That is a very nice looking knife with some very nice looking Stag Augie

Simple Man - amazing knife - I LOVE the older Scout Knives - and that one is a Classic Beauty!

Tongue-rivers knives are ALWAYS Classic, I see you edited the pics out C but Oh man those were beautiful examples - I was thinking about that lovely Bone Cat - beautiful example of Vintage border lining Antique knives you have there my friend - Wow!

Augie!.... My goodness man Stop this nonsense and just pack 'em up and send them 'ere
LOVE those early Sheffield's - lets not forget the Solingen knives of this era as well - they also gave us some STUNNING Stag examples.
Once again Augie - a pure pleasure to view -thank you..its been a hard day, but just this little bit of a knife fix has done it for me...aaaaaaahhhh! like a sip of Beer on a warm day....speaking of which, I just may go pop a cap of a cool one.

Heres a I*XL Fruit Knife, , nice condition, lovely sleek full blade, that has a great Swedge.
Hey... dont get me wrong folks, not the all time favourite collectable, but in my view not one to walk past either.
Now...can I talk about the scales, I usaully can spot Ivory very well, sometimes there can be a close call between a Celluloid and Ivory, heres how I look at it, and could you guys feel free to step in and correct me if you can? - Cheers.

1, Celluloid lines runs very straight - there is no wavering in them - is this correct?

The lines on these scales ( Mark side ) are "fairly straigh but go off in atangent by the pin closest to the Bolster, and the Pile side scale goes straight half of the way, but then looks like a finger print as the lines continue in the other half...







Thanks for looking :thumbup:

Very nice example of an old I*XL.

Ivory cell.
even though lines go off at an angle, they are too easily seen and too parallel to be elephant ivory. The old British ivory cell definitely is the most realistic of all the imitation ivory and i agree can be hard to tell from the real thing.

Agree. Cell not ivory. I have plenty of ivory figurine the ivory is never so "organize" Nevertheless great example.
