"Old Knives"

Some great knives posted on the previous page by Augie, Mr. Chips, Ramrodmb, and Paul, but that Waterville Wharncliffe by LongBlade really caught my eye.

Thanks Ron.and Duncan, I seem to have no discipline to not bid when these great old CASE Barlows come along:)

Duncan, it was your beautiful Spear/Pen that sent me looking for one of my owno_O;)

Yes but Paul my friend- you didn't have to go out and find a BETTER ONE!!!!!
I mean far out ! :D
 
John, that Wards is fantastic! Thanks for such a close up pic of the bone, very hypnotic.

Paul, I love that red bone in your Case barlow!

Lee, that Waterville is so cool, thanks for sharing it!
 
Don't know if anyone would appreciate this but, it's a hundred something year old SAK from Wenger et CiE Circa 1899-1905 not exactly sure.

I would like to try and clean it but I don't know where to start and where to take it.
 
That's pretty cool NorthShore. 0000 Grade Steel wool only 000 and up will scratch and shine where as 0000 Grade won't - use this and Mineral oil- jobs done.

Thanks Ramrodmb!! Much appreciated that you posted those photos!! The tang stamp I believe and I can be wrong indicates it was after 1881 when Aaron Burkinshaw's sons took over the company... still a nice knife and lots of history!!

Here is my Waterville Wharncliffe - again quite interesting to me that multiple cutleries using the aluminum handles were indeed quite similar!!







Cheers!!

Awesome Wharncliffe L LongBlade !! One of my favorite old patterns by one of the first US manufacturers! Never seen one in aluminum, so thanks for showing it!! You are right, they have very similar embellishments!
 
Thanks to all for the comments on the Waterville :thumbsup:... no doubt one of my favorite old cutleries Ramrodmb which had all Sheffield cutlers doing the work in the late 1840s-50s...

Lots of other nice knives posted by others (John, Paul, Mr Chips, Northshore - hope I am not forgetting any others) as well in last few days - always a great mix of old knives in this thread :)

This is really one of the coolest knives I've ever seen! Thanks for sharing! I would love to see more
 
I am still picturing Paul's STUNNING latest arrival at his House- His beautiful Red Bone Case XX, I honestly think the Bone Paul on your Spear-point is outstanding and yes my friend I truly agree that Rag Bone needs to be bought into the conversation when talking about this spectacular Knife ......
I am including my Latest Red Bone as well that Paul mentioned so the two- being the Same Knife can have such a variance in the Red Bone.

My Example- nowhere near as tidy as Pauls still to me at least holds a Beautiful example of Red Bone that is almost Orange- but still easily classed as The famous CASE Red Bone. I just thought it would be neat to see these two together- the same - yet so different!

Please click on the photos below of Paul's Lovely Red Bone to bring them up the large size

Nice to see them side by side, Duncan!
Such a contrast, yet both so beautiful!!
There are many variations of Case's Redbone. I will see if I can't put up some more of that lovely stuff!

Duncan, it's great seeing the sometimes slight to major differences is CASE red bone. Your Barlow is unique in that the saw cut has a somewhat ripple/wavy texture to them. Something I've never seen from CASE before. The blades on your barlow where solid, full and no play period. Imagine that knife almost didn't make it to New Zedland;););):D
 
Thanks, Duncan and Paul!!
Imagine the bragging rights bestowed on the owner of that Scout! I'd sure carry it with pride!
 
My eyes went straight to that Scout Charlie- mind you in saying that Bragging brights on ANY of those knives pictured I'd say!
