"Old Knives"

[lambertiana]

Thanks Charlie I seen the punch and spey on the same spring. I thought it had to be made that way because of the length of the frame being so short. The longer master blade would have to be ground pretty thin to pass the punch. Lambertiana's 3 3/8" knife probably the same thing applies?

Darrell, I think the spey is on the same spring as the main, not with the punch.

John, is it true??

On my NYK the main and spey are on one spring, and the punch is on the other spring.

lambertiana I mis typed my thoughts about the punch and spey being on the same spring. I realized the punch was on a single spring alone. Please re-read my OP I tried to clear up my thoughts. Perhaps it will make more sense now. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks

The Bay provided this neat KeenKutter HJ, most likely via Camillus Cutlery R.I.P.
After a good oiling (dry knives should be illegal!!), it works beautifully!
Any Camillus time-frame experts out there? Would this be a 50s-60s knife?

great knives guys!
charlie, don't know age of that hj, but...it could spend it's birthday with me anytime.

Charlie, that's going to be in your pocket for a while.

Pickings around here are slim but I manages to come up with a few this week. Top is a KA-BAR fly fisherman, 4 3/8'' closed. Second is a canton with waterfall celluloid handles and an Elks logo. The next one is a Tom Mix premium from Ralston cereals, and the bottom is a Roy Rogers made by Ulster.

Those are all dandys Rivit. I really like the old Ka-Bar Fly Fisherman...

 

[waynorth]

Rivit, those are dandies, but I think Roy is being et alive by the dreaded Celluloid worm!!

Here is an old New York Knife Co. Half Trapper....this knife feels perfect in the hand..I love the nail nick where it is...Great knife!

 

[d.parker]

That's a Nice old NYKC John. It has all the +'s swedge,rat tail bolster, chicken bone shield, and great bone scales. The right nail notch placement for stout back springs...

 

[JpN]

The springs are perfect on this old knife, I prefer the nail nick like that, but it becomes an issue when you grind the blade thin.

That NYK is a nice, elegant design, John. Makes you proud to carry it in your pocket!!:thumbup:
This Waterville Jack I just found makes you feel, well . . . . . . .kinda. . lopsided! Weighs about 2 or 3 times as much as a normal pocketknife, and scares the pigeons off the roost when you snap either blade!
I've compared it to a large premium stockman here, so you can see it for what it is! A brute of a thing! Wonder why these were made?? Maybe men were bigger back then!?

 

[SHEBOP]

Thanks for sharing...That is way kewl, John!
Charlie...this one is a first for me! Never seen one like it before!
Nice Grabs...Congrats!!!!

 

[4ever3]

Very fine Old Knives all !


That is a beauty JpN :thumbup:

 

[JpN]

Thanks everyone....I have always liked the barrel shape'ness of that knife, the way the bone is rounded and jigged all the way to the liner.

That Shield on the Waterville Jack is way cool WayNorth...looks like it was poured in there.

 

[lambertiana]

That Waterville is really something. Must have been the mall ninja tactical back in the day. And the shield is unusual, too.

 

[stockman242]

Exquisite couple, Charlie. :thumbup:
Thanks a lot for sharing them.
The Waterville really is outstanding.
