"Old Knives"

[Gevonovich]

What a true gem, Glenn!! Looks like it has the original crocus polish on it

 

[waynorth]

Here's a nice one. I probably paid a bit more than it was worth condition-wise. I wish it was in a little better shape. It has had some exposure to moisture, but it's pretty much all there, and very snappy. My one and only Wade & Butcher.

A blade shape for discussion!! Way cool knife, whatever it is!!

I don't think it could be a spey/spay.

It's been awhile since I posted in here, and a while since these were out of the safe...

Whoa...killer pair!!! I love that old packaging almost as well as those pristine knives. Very nice redbone, too. :thumbup:

 

[Jack Black]

Really nice Glen :thumbup: And Mike :thumbup:

Thanks. These two are without a doubt a couple of my absolute favorites, and I agree, the packaging is very cool... In full disclosure neither knives are redbone, but for some reason the 808 looks kinda like it is in this picture. It's funny because when I posted the pictures, I wondered if anyone would think it was bone

Really nice Glen :thumbup: And Mike :thumbup:

Thanks Jack

Mike, the 808 certainly does look more like bone than the 881, a very nice color! I too have a prized old S-W, mint in the plastic packaging.

Jeff, Mike, always love finding knives with their original packaging, very nice.

Glenn, the Wade&Butcher, WOW, just beautiful.

Picked up a couple, a CX Lockwood Brothers farmers jack, seller said it was rehandled with old India Stag,

And a H.M. Slater Venture jack, very attractive knife,

Those Schrades in their original packaging are so nice that up until now I have been speechless!
Wanna sell em for the advertised price on the box?

Yeah, I thought not. Can't blame a guy for trying.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Man th!eres some stunning knives being shown here everyone! Im crazy about this Thread!

Augie - now those are two nice knives you just got - actually just when have you ever picked up a bad one eh?
Im sure Lyle would love to get his little paws on the Lockwood Bros Farmers Jack! Re-handled or not I look at a knife and say...well...do I want this - or would I rather put it back?

Glenn...that Wade and Butcher - Whew!!... the thing about this thread is that nearly 100% of the knives shown on this thread are most desirable - but then now and then a real Stonker comes up - and you played that card with the Wade and Butcher, I do know what you mean when you say
that you wished it was in better condition, but I am sure I speak for all of us, that if we were given the choice to purchase that knife - we all would have grabbed it!

I think this is a remarkable knife- gifted to me ( I know...isnt that amazing that you could let go of such a treasure ) by a remarkable person....
Obviously made by Schrade - the Peachseed makes me go weak at the knees everytime!






Im not too sure, the age of this knife I'm going to have a real stab at and say 40's - 50's, Contracted knife for ULSTER!

HJ, Sears....LOVE the bone ......





I was just going through some knife photo's last night - I came across these, I just COULD NOT BELIEVE this when I saw this for sale - our good friend Jack - who introduced me to Stan started me off on the Ibberson Trade Mark - and this is one of them, such a magnificent knife.
I sent this to our good friend Robin ( pipeman) - he is focusing on pruners and such, sop I thought it was appropriate for him to have this knife- I miss the knife- but am so happy Robin has it, to me this knife is an amazing piece...





A stunning unused Fox Cutlery HJ.....


I still to this day, cannot get over just how wonderful and beautiful a knife can get - like this amazing piece...

 

[glennbad]

Duncan! I know what you are saying about the amazing knives being shown on this thread. Just when I think I have seen a whopper, another is shared that tops it.

I don't know where to start with your contributions. That Schrade/Ulster, that Henry Sears, or that Fox, just wow!!!

You must be tickled to own them all!

 

[Gevonovich]

What a grouping of goodness, Duncan! Should we start calling you the Harness Master now? Three off the chart examples

 

[Augie]

Duncan, thank you, I got to tell you those harness jacks of yours are something else, wonderful.

 

[Jack Black]

Very nice finds Augie. I was particularly interested to see this one though. Here's one I picked up a couple of months back, you can probably guess who I sent it to

That is an astonishing selection of knives Duncan, all beautifully photographed, and a typically generous gesture from you my friend, an amazing knife indeed I am hoping to visit Stan tomorrow :thumbup:

 

[Augie]

Jack, thanks for the picture, those 2 knives sure are similar, wonder if one company was making them for the other.

According to Geoff Tweedale, between the wars, Slaters made 'pocket knife materials', such as blade blanks, springs, and liners for many of the leading Sheffield cutlery firms, including Joseph Rodgers and George Wostenholm. Perhaps more pertinently though, in 1972 they acquired Joseph Elliot & Sons (who by then owned the Lockwood Brothers name). I actually walked past both the old factories in Sheffield today, they are only about a quarter of a mile apart

Your fixed blade is a PAL RH (Remington hunter) 36. PAL bought Remington from Dupont?Remington in 1933 I believe and ran it till 1953ish. The 36 was sold to many US soldiers during WW2. If I`m wrong on the dates someone will correct me.
Great to have your Great Grandfathers knife.
Best regards

Robin

Thank you Augie my friend - I always get the same feeling when you display your knives - just stunning !

I went over Duncan, but Stan wasn't at work I left a message with Pete Goss, who makes the surgical instruments next door. I'll try to get over again in a couple of weeks :thumbup:

I am doing well, my friend A fine choice to focus your intention. As I type this ...thunder is sounding outside...I think the Universe concurs
