Kutmaster - with very nice Bone- this Bone looks like the Bone used on the Winchester series of knives- correct me if I am wrong were these not made with Left over stocks from the Utica Factory?
Solid Knife!

Sorry, what do you mean by "left over stocks from the Utica factory"?
Because the factory is still running, I mean.

Duncan, thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me so many amazing knives to look at! I really like that Fox HJ with the matchstrike pull on the punch. :thumbup:
 
Thank you Duncan, wow!!!

This thread is such a great window to the past, it provides inspiration for knives being made today whether production or custom. It provides and inspires others to keep searching and locating such vintage gems so they won't languish and waste away.

Thank you Duncan, that was fun to peruse those great knives:cool::thumbup:

I was referring to the Bone used on the Winchester black box series Knives by Bluegrass - which is not a Cutler Company so contracted Queen to make the Winchester red and black box series which I believe in the 80's used what was described " left over Utica Bone"
This was told to me by a very knowledgeable person here- wether through change if ownership the Bone stocks were sold off - I don't know - but a lot of people used the name Utica Bone especially when describing the Winchesters- the reason I used it because Utica Bone is quite Identifiable.
 
A tour de force of fine knives Duncan. I'll echo others in saying its great to see them in a group shot. Imagine what you will have five years from now!

And I'm way behind in this thread, but there have been some real gems posted over the past two pages.
 
Some great and beautiful knives being shown here lately. Thanks to all.

I think we could add this Robeson 622721 to that grouping a couple of pages back.

Somebody cleaned it before I bought it at The Blade Show in 1989.

Just returning to your great array of folders, Duncan. Aside from the wonderful knives, there are some neat shields as well. Love the shields on the old "Wards" and "Sears" models.
Those two rope knives also caused some closer looks, and several others also. :)
Enclosed is a little patent information from 1892 for your Sheffield thumb stud model, please post the makers name when you get time.

 
Nice addition to the Serpentine Jacks (Slim Trappers) Charlie N.
Cool patent with description, Neal! Never mind sunk joints - how about sunk blades!?!

Here are the two knives I mentioned previously; arrived today!
The Kabar is the largest one I have seen to date!

The Kabar has a nice etch also, but it refused to show up today . . . . . .
 
Neal - I will certainly look that name up my friend- thank you for that reference👍

Charlie! Two STUNNING additions to an already Word Cmass Collection- amazing how a knife can become beautiful - there's your proof right there.
 
Duncan, all these gems in one place have just about left me speechless. Good show, my friend. Good show!
 
Charlie and Charlie those slim trappers are fabulous, I came to love the slim profile of this pattern, and the bone on these is fantastic. Also the grind on the M & G is stunning.
