"Old Knives"

[veitsi_poika]

Haven't posted any cell knives in a while... sort of poor timing considering the "gassing" story above ... but these are the pics I had in the queue for tonight The Electric Cut Co is a pretty ugly knife but I think that makes it cool LoL

Great old knives everyone, as usual I'm having trouble keeping up, tying into the Case green bone being posted this Tested era green bone has a nice color to it, this thing is also razor blade sharp,






Picked up this old Camillus Barlow this week, little unusual in that it has a spey main and has saw cut wood handles, maybe Ebony. It's really a nice solid old knife. I'm thinking 1920's or so.

Augie, I love the Case daddy! What is it about these old ones that allows them to get sooooo sharp?! I have an old SW stockman that is a laser/razor, and it even has a chip in the blade!

CF Wolfertz & Co Allentown, PA barlow... I don't know much about this manufacturer, other than what Goins has (c. 1905-1944), but this knife has Hulk like snap and half stop to boot

A J.S. Holler & Co Premium Stock knife made in Solingen circa 1900. Also stamped Adolph Blaich which was a San Francisco based sporting goods retailer. PB photos from a few years ago gone so reposting.

Black Friday "Old Knives Style"... how about another Ulster jack? Got this one in the mailbox yesterday... threw a little Amish Wood Milk on to clean up the handles and ready for pictures I'm thinking this knife had brown handles at one point but they are black now LoL.

Look at it in full sunlight. If you see some reddish highlights it is probably cocobolo. I have cocobolo that looks almost black at first glance, but in sunlight you can see the red overtones. I have both antiques and modern production cocobolo handled knives like that, and the modern ones I got new and they looked like nice rich red cocobolo before they aged.

My thoughts, but as you know Charlie,it’s what we call pressed stag. It also fits the time frame and European manufacturing.

As I’ve said, I’ve never seen pressed stag on a knife manufactured in USA.
