Hi stringz. Welcome on board. To post photos, sign-up for an online photo hosting site if you haven't done so before. I use Photobucket but there are many others. Upload your photos there. Then copy and paste the link into your post here. I hope that helps. Looking forward to seeing your Wostenholm.

This large jack knife is one of my favourites.

I can well understand why:thumbup:

Rippling Stag offset by a very elegant small bolster, very discrete pins plus wonderful stamping on the master blade. Four inch plus I assume?

Thanks, Will

Jack, U * xl at finding nice examples of old knives.

Here's what's in my pocket today. A Shapleigh Diamond Edge junior cattle knife.

I saw the photos this time... Nice knife! A pattern that seems to be difficult to find these days, especially in such good condition.

 

[Mason Knives]

What a beautiful knife Sir! I have a single blade version, but not in such good condition as that. Quite unusual!

I like that Mike. I thought seriously about bidding on those Union Cut with the saw blades that Bruce Voyles auctioned here while back.

 

[mike Berkovitch]

Nice Ulster knife Mike. I love the the shape and the grind on the main blade.
Jake, the cattle knife is awesome.

I received this morning a knife very special to me.
Firstly because the pattern is no more built and I love this shape. Then though more a bitza than a true vintage knife, it has been assembled from vintage parts. I have yet to discover who made the blades, but the saw shows the old (and quite unobstrusive compared with today) "le sabot Fontenille" stamp. Now le Sabot and Fontenille-Pataud still exist but are separate entities. And last but not least, it has been assembled by a 87 years old retired cutler, member of the Vieilles Lames (Old Blades) association, around Thiers that are still assembling and repairing knives on the local markets and events nearly every week end.

It is a Charlois. The name comes from the little Burgundy town of Charolles, renowned for the charolais beefs, where it originates. It is one of the oldest French pattern, probably dating from around 1800. It is also known as the carter's knife.
It is not a dwarf, 11,5cm (4 1/2") and weights a healthy 180g (6,3+ ounces). Blades are not stainless and have a nice w & t, a 4 for the sheepfoot and a 6,5 for the smaller. A good worker!
