Thank you Duncan, that is one of the things I like with these old hawkbills, they can have a great swedge.

Yes, an Epic Pruner no less. Great end-cap matched to double Rat-Tails, highly desirable and impressive.

Great additions, LongBlade and Augie.

Picked up this Wilkinson seven blade folder for a little inspiration. Outside of the corrosion and a broken main blade and scissors spring, it seems unused. Still has some gold wash in the filework. And the pearl handles still sparkle. Main blade has a three line stamp...... "F" and a letter I can't make out on the first line; "Wilkinson" on second line; "Sheffield" on third line.

Haven't been able to find much info on Wilkinson knives.

There is inspiration and then there is inspiration. You got a bucket full of it in that knife. Looking forward to the end result....

 

[JDWARE]

Yes, amazing what they packed so elegantly into such a small piece.

Amazingly built Knife Ai wonder if Wilkinson contracted their folders out to someone like Ibberson or such?

Please help me out here - that wee Fork?

"wee fork" I believe is a "cigar fork"

Found the near identical knife HERE posted by smiling-knife. Maker is Prescott & Milner - Sheffield. Although the two knife blades on the P&M are stainless.

A Sheffield beauty there J

This Robeson EZ open Jack arrived today. I posted it's twin a few pages back. The first one I posted had more of a green bone mark cover and redbone pile cover. This new arrival (pictured on top) has more uniformed covers. The pen blade on the new one is a little less full though.
Both blades are solid and the covers are perfect.

 

[Half/Stop]

Sweet Robesons Paul! Those covers are my friend!

 

[paulhilborn]

Thank you Ron, enjoy your weekend my friend, will see you and Pam soon

 

[Luger1952]

Great looking knives Paul! Those jigged bone covers are just spectacular More random than not--like they were almost wrought by God or nature. They exude quality of build as one would expect from a vintage Robeson folder. Just really fabulous!! Lloyd

 

[paulhilborn]

Thanks Lloyd, what a knife Robeson produced. Solid after all these years. You just feel the quality when you carry one of these vintage beauties

 

[Campbellclanman]

Lloyd said it all for me Paul.
UNBELIEVABLY Beautiful Knives. I am looking forward to handling those if I am so lucky inside the month Paul!

 

[paulhilborn]

Thanks Duncan, there are some great vintage knives just waiting for you. Less than a month now buddy

Paul, beautiful bone on those 2 Robeson's, couple of nice jacks.
