And thank you for doing so my friend- this is a real nice Knife. The Photo actually highlights the very old Sharpening marks- I love this Knife.

Iirc, I bought from the daughter of the original owner. It was a real treat for me to find in that condition. I'm glad you have it and are enjoying it!

Traded with Tom for it around the dinner table Friday night, I think a lot of deals went down around that table every night. I started talking to him about it at the table at GEC.

One more Washington bolstered knife. 4 1/2" closed English Jack one of my favorite patterns.

Mike, you have posted some stunning vintage knives lately, thanks for sharing!

Picked up a pretty nice knife this week, it is an unused Joseph Rodgers Congress still in its original oil paper sleeve. It is marked Cutlers To His Majesty and has a #6 Norfolk Street address so I think the dates it to the reign of Edward VII 1901 to 1910 or the reign of George V 1910 to 1936. How it remained unused all these years I have no idea.
It's 3 3/4 long, stag handles. blades have factory edges and are sharp, some age staining.
