"Old Knives"

waynorth said:
Nice Napanoch, Mike. I have a few Silver handled knives like that, and often wonder if they were skeleton knives, "dressed" if you will, by a jeweler. The bail suggests it might do duty as a watch fob. The pouch suggests an alternate carry method. Hmmmmmm!!??

Nice Cattle, LostBall!! Looks at home on Schrade-Green felt!!
Schrade salesmen often had green-lined rolls, and stores had Green counter-felts, Printed with Schrade logos.

This official roll belonged to my friend Mark Nagle when he was alive.

That is gorgeous.

Charlie, I wish I could say that it was planned out that way but it was pure coincidence. Thank you again for the history lesson and that is a beautiful Schrade presentation roll. Would love to see all the knives in it as well.

That is beautiful! Had to bring it to this page.:thumbsup:
 
Great thread :thumbsup: I've been collecting for a little over a year now and was gravitated to the old knives so I have very few "shiny new" knives in my collection but have many old Ulsters, Schrade Cut Co and NYKC's; looks like I found a new home here if you will have me :) I will offer up this Ulster Dwight Divine & Sons for an entry fee...

Anybody have a better idea on year for this one? 1876-1941 is pretty vague... I'm guessing celluloid means 1900-1941 and the blade has a faint etch that is a diamond inside of a circle logo between the words "Extra Quality".

I wish it was mine to show you!! I know the fellow who has it, but he's not a member here.
 
Nice Ulster, V_P!!
You are certainly welcome here, and thanks for showing us the nice pictures!!
 
V_P, nice Ulster, can't read the tang stamp clearly but it is thought if it is Dwight Devine and Son it is 1900 to 1923 and if it is Sons it is 1923 to 1941. Welcome to the forum!

Two interesting skeleton knives indeed
 
Nice Lever Pen knives, Mike!! Can you show some more detail of that "blade mechanism"??
Solid Gold!! A Rich Man's knife!!
 
Doctor Cousins? The larger (3 3/4" closed) of these is a CHIPAWAY CUTLERY CO. doctors knife. As I understand it, ChipAway was a trademark used by E.C. Simmons from 1891-1920. The other is an E.C. SIMMONS ST. LOUIS marked doctors knife (3 1/4" closed) that is also marked KEEN KUTTER on the bottom bolster. That trademark used from 1868-1960.

Entry fee accepted. Of all of the celluloid that they used back then, this waterfall celluloid is my favorite.

OH MY! :rolleyes::thumbsup:
 
Man those Doctor's knives are sweet!! Love that Walden if only it can tell us where it's been.

Charlie, the blades open on the Lever's by pushing down on them and they open halfway and has a stop. Then if you push all the way so the levers are all the way down the blades open all the way. There are no springs so it's not an auto but really cool. lever1 (1024x683).jpg lever2 (1024x683).jpg lever3 (1024x683).jpg lever4 (1024x683).jpg
