[mike Berkovitch]

I picked up a few knives in Sheffield the other day, including this Christopher Johnson, which I've got in my pocket today.

Cool knife Jack, interesting bolsters.

QUOTE=Jack Black;15801112]I've already shown this IXL Tobacco Knife, kindly gifted to me by Mike Berkovitch, in my last 'Table' thread (http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1366732-Me-and-Betty-Grable), but thought I'd post a pic here too. Thanks again Mike :thumbup:

Awesome Sheffield's popping up, thanks for sharing those beauties!

Here's nice old Cattaraugus whittler, she's a beast too at over 4 inches. I really like the indian trails on this one!

 

[glennbad]

[67nick]

[Jack Black]

Here is another old knife I picked up the other day, and an unusual one I think. I can't even find a name for this pattern, long spear and a spey on a single spring, tapers like a sleeveboard, but has square bolsters There's nothing magnetic about it apart from the trademark

Are you and Primble racing to see who can clean his country out of rare slipjoints first?

Nick
Totally wicked Whittler!! Love the trails on that one!!

Jack
The magnetic is just unusual cool Love the tang stamp:thumbup::thumbup:

 

[wlfryjr]

Jack ,any info on the handles on that one?

Duncan - very interesting advertising knife ! :thumbup:

Thank you Primble my friend :thumbup:

I reckon so Duncan, here's a couple of examples of the same pattern - though I'm not sure what the second knife is advertising (beyond general inebriation)! :thumbup:

Thank You Jack Sir! - nice to see it's Brother with you my friend. :thumbup:

My favorite style of old knife, the original multitool, it cut and opened beer, what else was there?

Old Robeson with hand hammered scales.

Sorry if I showed this one before but it went well with Duncan's fine example.

Oh man!...dont be sorry for showing THAT very cool knife! - Love the Hand Hammered finish!

Here is an old one I picked lately it is Craftsman whittler,

Mike

Mike matey - That is one very very sweet Knife my friend-nicely done Sir!

I picked up a few knives in Sheffield the other day, including this Christopher Johnson, which I've got in my pocket today.

Now Thats a very cool CJ! as others have mentioned - nice Bolsters, love the massive Nick as well!

Another one I picked up in Sheffield, carries the Lockwood Brothers tang-stamp, but has the Joseph Elliot (who acquired the Lockwood Brothers name in the 20's) mark on the blade. 3 3/4".

Jack!!!! that is one extremely nce knife - to me my friend - if I found that knife, I would call that a half year - even perhaps THE years best find!!! Just a stunning knife - I love everything about it! Well Done Jack - awesome to see.:thumbup:

We would love to see them all, Rostovsky!!! Some really interesting ones you have shown so far!! My favorite is the first one in wood on the music:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Thank you and welcome

 

[Rostovsky]

Thank you. In Russia the knives of the Soviet times are popular collectibles. In my collection of about 50 of these knives. Here is the knife with the name of the city of Gorky. Now this city is renamed to Nizhny Novgorod

 

[Gevonovich]

Wonderful and I like the history! Is there a particular use for the front part of the bottle opener blade? Or on second thought maybe its a can opener blade

Yes, it's a canned opener
Quite rare in Russia a knife-the fish and the knives. All of these knives were in my childhood. I'm a child sick knives. Now they have to buy again.
