Cattaraugus MOP Whittler ( 32093 ) and Indian Trail Jack ( 21839 )

Such beautiful old bone on that jack, and so pinchy too! I hope to find a nice old Catt or two after my self-imposed knife austerity comes to an end.

That Catt Barlow you have ought to look nice with that pair !

My personal opinion is Cattaraugus had some of the very best bone jigging and dying processes of any of the old USA makers.

Here's an old Turner Naylor &Co, Sheffield, In horn, a nice small carry at 3 1/16th. Seems to have been re pinned at some point. There's bad light on the tip of the blade.

Happy Friday Folksy folks.

Best regards

Some new shots of my Josef Sziraki Pearl Sleeveboard Lobster from the mid 1800s. the sterling silver accessory is an ear pick for cleaning the wax out of your ears.

I paid $10 for it at an estate sale after a woman bought it as part of a box lot some 25 years ago, it took me nearly 20 years of research and a stroke of luck in a PM from a member here on BFC who was able to hook me up with several links where I was able to identify him as the father of modern cutlery manufacturing for most of central Europe in the 18th century, (think Austro-Hungarian Empire, 2nd largest and most powerful empire next to the Soviet Union back before WW1.)

This is a beautifully made piece and for a knife that's in the neighborhood of 175 years old it's in excellent shape, the walk and talk are second to none, nothing is loose, fit and finish are excellent, I'd love to have seen this all polished out with a mirror finish on the blades. Here are some new pics, enjoy...
