Thank you, my friend! My picture does not do it justice yet. It has that special something...I'm smitten. Snaps great with only minor wobble to the main. It's gonna give my Ulster a run for its money...lol:D

Gev, great vintage look to that Remington, that Barlow was well loved by someone.

here are a couple more have picked up in the last month, a HSB large coke bottle hunter, these are some big knives, not sure who made this one, maybe NYK Co. This pattern seemed to be popular before WW2.

The other is a nice Valley Forge, nice tight knife with great snap and a lot of life left in the blades, about the size of a GEC 15.

I had to take a chance on this one today. It's not every day you find an r1123 on craigslist!

I'm no expert , but it looks real to my eye. I would have snagged that it a heart beat. If some expert does evaluate it ...let us know the verdict:thumbup: I think Mr. Bose carries one in his back pocket
 
I'm running a couple of giveaways, which posters to this thread may be interested in. I know that a few who post here only post in this thread, so wanted to give you a heads up :thumbup:
 
Very nice Harry! I love barehead Ebony Jacks (and a single blade no less) and the Remington stockman/cattle knife with those blond pick bone handles and acorn shield is beautiful:thumbup: thanks for posting the photos. Lloyd
 
Harry, those are some beautiful vintage knives. The patterns and sizes I really like plus the bone and ebony are in such great condition it makes them very appealing. You are quite fortunate to have them and I appreciate you sharing them with us. -James

Your seeing it right. There is just enough left on either side to open it just fine, thankfully. The bone was so superb, I took the chance, and it paid off. Yes...I already have too many choices and even said to myself that I should just stop...I can't stop any more than Duncan could stop looking longingly at Sue :D
 
I'm going to move your question to it's own thread here in Traditional. Let's see if we can get you some answers.
 
The knife that started off one of the most amazing journeys of my lifetime- Traditional knives - I bought this not knowing what this knife really was- Charlie invited me in to Traditionals when I showed this in Bernard Levines Thread.... I have not looked back - neither has my Bank Account lol....

Remember this knife Charlie? - Thank you for that day and countless more since then......

 
A Clauss Jack I bought simply because
A.. It's a beautiful Knife

But B... it reminded me so much of a Clauss HJ that I bought off my great friend Mike - a stunning conditioned HJ... that some postal worker is now walking around with my knife in his Pocket :mad:
I actually bought a rough-in fact very rough conditioned Clauss HJ .... I think that is still at Pauls House- is that right Paul?

 
Obviously I don't own this knife, I took the pictures from a book while visiting museum. The knife belonged to a Finnish nobleman Gustaf Mauritz Armfelt, who was an internationally famous figure during the end of 18th and beginning of 19th centuries, an officer in Swedish army and later in the service of the Russian government. The knife is french, handle is turtle bone. Would be quite usefull even today.

Wow Duncan great line up. You can't stop here, first, I know you have many more so we need you to share the photos. Second, a line up is nice but not enough, what about showing some blades?
:thumbup::thumbup:

AMAZING KNIVES Duncan!!! That Maher Grosh is a wonderful piece:cool::cool::cool:

I will have to check your ND inventory for the Clauss...I should set up a file on my computer for documentation in case of Theft or Fire:eek::eek::eek::D;)
 
Lol thanks Mike- I will filter through them - that will be a weekend job my friend.

Paul matey- haha please don't worry. Thank you 👍
 
Duncan, I'm glad Charlie recruited you into Traditionals when he did because of what you've done with and for this obsession of ours since. :thumbup: That is an impressive line up Sir!!!
