"Old Knives"

Wow! Beautiful Bolsters! Have you got Goins or Bernard Levines edition 4? Look the company name up there - I am away from my reference books.
 
This is the nicest production Lineman's knife I've ever seen. I have its twin in ebony. The tang reads "Buffalo Cutlery Co" and as I understand it Buffalo Cutlery Co never manufactured knives, they only purchased factory seconds, ground off the original manufacturers tang stamp and then stamped their name on the blade.

I'm almost certain this is a "Schrade Cut Co" knife as the ebony twin I have is. It certainly appears to be Schrade jigging to me. In my search I came across the info I relayed above from AAPK site. In the description of the knife on the auction site it to leaned towards the info I found on AAPK site.

This is hands down the most stout, solid traditional pocket knife I own. Thick blades, no play, no gaps or flaws that I see anywhere on this knife, the snap of the blades wakes the neighbors:o:D

The color of the bone is far prettier than the pictures convey. Nice full blades and only minor pepper spots, you press the main blade down in the closed position to unlock the screwdriver/scraper blade:thumbup:

That is really nice Paul !!! It looks almost like it just came out of the box .
Very nice jigging and an unusual way to unlock it .

Wow Paul, that is a stunner! I fully agree that this knife screams SCHRADE. The jigging looks spot on, and the lock is the same style.

Just a great knife!

Thanks Harry, Glenn and Duncan. I love the bone and it is a SOLID knife:thumbup:
 
Hi, thought I would post a few of my oldies here!
First three are I think 1960's-1970's, the fruit knife is dated 1889, the lock knife is a Czech "Mikov" from the 1950's-1960's, the next two are a Boker Barlow and a Valley Forge fishtail from around the 1950's, the British military issue is dated 1943, and the Camillus US Army issue is dated to 1940, as it has the brass liners as stated in the Camillus sales record excerpt at the bottom.

Thanks for looking, Bob.

Not nearly as old as some on here. An Uncle Henry that I bought sometime around 1970 & it's seen a lot of use.
 
Nice old knives everyone. Paul, don't know what to say about that Electricians knife, what a beauty!

Paul, that is the finest example of its type I've seen, also. I'm trying to think of a word I haven't used before to describe how beautiful, gorgeous and fantastic the bone looks! And you said it looks better in person!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I agree, a most unusual way to unlock the utility blade. Very nice knife. :)

Did you have to figure that part out on your own, or did the seller tell you? ;)

It's a glorious piece and I think the Universe has opened up to you, Paul:D It's good to see and well deserved:thumbup::thumbup:

John, Dean, Ballenxj and Gev...Thank you, I'm lucky to have it. Just a beefy work knife that never saw any work at all I believe. I'll carry from time to time and just enjoy the bone on this one. Ballenjx, I knew off the lock release from the ebony one I have. It's a lock I've seen on other German made knives before as well.

Ironbut, Nice Schrade Walden UH. Does a it have a serial number stamped on the brass liner inside the well?

bobbee, Nice vintage knives. I love the Camillus Scout. I knew that some war issued one's didn't have brass liners as most all brass during the war was used for shell casings. Neat to see the spec sheet you listed:thumbup:
 
Jack, you hit the jackpot on this run....holy moly!!! I would love to see the horseman open. I will check the table thread.
