Old Primble would go hog wild over that beauty, Paul!

Jamie
Each one...divine :eek:
 
Jamie I am with Paul, the serpentine punch stockman and EE Jack butter and molasses are so nice! They are all great with very nice handles and blades. The cell show any signs or hints of outgassing? The handle on the mark side sure looks to be in outstanding shape. Overall you get a A+ for that presentation:thumbup: Thanks, Lloyd
 
Thanks, gents.

Gev, really love that Eureka. Dressed in Ebony they are simply one of the classiest vintage knives one could hope to carry. Well done.
 
Lloyd,

Thanks for the comments. The Schrade covers are in remarkably good shape appearing as tight as they were new. Blades are quite full and the action tight yet snappy. I do not believe this old girl ever saw much pocket time.

Thank you, Jamie! I was just back for a second looks at your Schrades....I could say the same about any of those peach stockman ;)
 
Paul- That Belknap is just a beautiful knife that absolutely commands attention! Wow, Maker?...I cannot help you my friend, i have had a good look through the Catalog E Schrade Pocket Knives Booklet- and couldnt really get a solid match there - that I could see anyway! Have you Compared it to my Boker thats at your Place?

Jamie!!!! Oh my goodness matey!!! Those Peach-seeds are juuuust beaut-i-ful!
 
Some great knives and pictures all. Beautiful old Belknap tear drop Paul, and neat picture with the rusted bits Gevonovich.
 
I decided to start my venture into "old" knives recently. After browsing through enough knives to make my eyes bleed I took the plunge with this guy, a NYK Hammer Brand.

I've been jonesing for a pen knife with tip bolsters for a while now(the wharncliffe main was just icing on the cake), and I haven't found a current production model that scratches that itch.
It's a dainty little thing at right around 3 1/4". The bone is a bit odd. It has a the very slight indication of a jigging pattern, but it's almost completely smooth, far smoother than any pocket worn knife that I've ever seen. I'm thinking someone might have buffed the bone smooth in the past. It's got a little play in the main which bugs me, but I reckon that just comes with the territory considering its age and tip bolster construction.
I really look forward to delving deeper into this side of the hobby.
 
Erik, welcome to what some find the most rewarding segment of traditional knife collecting. That's a cool looking pen knife. Is it single spring? I'm fairly new at researching vintage and classic knives but find it very interesting. Since you like traditionals I think you will thoroughly enjoy the "old knife side of the hobby". Looking forward to your future postings, -James

Erik, what a unique Pen knife in many ways, the bone is uniquely nice:thumbup: add the Warncliffe and it stands alone, a very nice knife:cool:
 
I never had time for pen knives before, I never cared for them only because I thought I'd never carry one. Then Duncan had a few then a few more shipped here before departing to New Zealand. I became intrigued and marveled at the workmanship/craftsmanship that went into these wonderful knives:thumbup:

I've heard it's much more difficult to make a small knife versus a large knife. That easily resonates with me as smaller projects try my patience and skill.

If I researched correctly this is from 1922-1939 as it reads: ROBESON ShureEdge (in script) ROCHESTER NY. This fantastic little knife has great f&f, tight blades and amazing bone covers with remarkable indian trails:cool:

The main is worn down but will offer years of use yet.

Beautiful knife, Paul, the Robesons are some of the best from between the wars. Is it roughly 3⅛ inches closed?
 
Lovely Knife Paul. Amazing Bone on those Robesons- it was interesting to read when I was researching the HJs the other day that it is pretty much accepted that Robeson in the 1920's made the best knives in the World at that time - and you could believe that.

Paul, quality pen knives have been my focus during recent searches and that Robeson is top of the line. It appears to be in good condition with nice color. It should be right at home most anywhere and for any occasion. Very nice find!!! Enjoy carrying that one my friend!!!
