"Old Knives"

Boy, if you want to peruse beautiful vintage knives, this is the thread!
Great ones, Jake, Duncan and Blademan13!!

One of our esteemed members was thinning the herd a bit, and agreed to sell me these two peanuts. I am not much of a small knife fan, but these bowled me over - so much goodness in such little packages!

I'll second what Charlie just wrote, and add my admiration for the two he just posted, especially the bottom knife. Great stuff all.
 
They sure put a lot of work on those peanuts, swedges, threaded bolsters, end bolsters. Not so easy on such tiny knives. They look great Charlie.

I agree with what the folks before me said about those two 'nuts Charlie - excellent examples- I STILL just DO NOT KNOW HOW YOU DO IT!! -but in saying that - we are all the richer having you share these with us - so thank you for that - we all know there would be others who wouldn't do this- and our learning AND appreciation diminishes somewhat.

Charlie N - Sir I checked - and no marks on the Liners - unfortunately - I wasnt expecting there to be any - but you won't know until you look - my absolute favourite saying is " seek - and ye shall find"

Lyle Sir - thank you for your kind comments on the Ibberson - I am still RAPT with that great old knife - in curiosity - what example did you find?

True here but astoundingly so on vintage 4 blade Senators: superb long swages (BRL spelling), ultra thin blades often with an offset grind, 4 of them perfectly set into a tiny space and yet nary a rub, zenith of the cutler's art.

This little 3 inch Cut co. fits the bill, thin blades, offset grind and no rubs. Always in my watch pocket.

Best regards

Nice SCCo, Robin. Good to see a photo of the well--wish those shots were more common on the forum.

Jake, here's a well shot of the Cat knife. They fit the two scalpel type blades into no space at all, the cutaways in the scale are needed as the backs are barely above the frame.

Best regards

The Germans certainly made some fine knives in the past couple of centuries. Here is an old Boker Solingen made six blade camper model.
