Great OLD knives everyone!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Here is a fantastic old Catt my son found over the weekend.
3 1/4" -2 bld jack with Indian trail bone and hammered pins. Almost full blades, good snap and good action all the way around!
As good as it gets, IMO!:)

There have been some wonderful knives posted recently along with some interesting German variations.
Here is another unique German made folder with an odd and amusing name which is "Gobernador", and translates to "Governor" in Spanish.
"Gobernador" was a trade name of "Krusius Bros." and was registered in 1919. Krusius Bros. was founded in 1886 by brothers August and Emil Krusius from Solingen, Germany.
This model has a few different interesting features which include a sheep foot carbon steel blade, steel liners, bolsters, and shield, and jigged ebony handles.
I believe this model with a nearly 4-1/2 inch handle dates to early post WWII.

Veitsi- Darn that HSB has Stunning Bone. That’s a very nice version of a Cattle Knife right there!

Herder my friend
You are so right- that’s the first single blade Sheepsfoot Jack that I have seen like that from Solingen. Big as well for that pattern!
 
C.1945-1955 Queen Toothpick :) I find this knife pretty interesting because it is post WWII and is still made with Rogers Bone before Queen switched exclusively to Winterbottom bone. I found this excerpt quite a while ago and knew that a large portion of the Queen knives from mid-century were Winterbottom, so when I saw this one I had to have it.

The N. B Knife. (New Britain Knife co.) 1910-1930
I'll have to do some more reading about this one, as I'm not familiar with New Britain. I don't know if they manufactured their own knives, or contracted with another cutlers.

If I'm right about its age, it's in pretty good condition.
 
Just finished cleaning these 2 Old Knives that I picked up a couple of weeks ago . Remington Scout and Cattaraugus Easy Open .
Before :



After :



Before :


It appears that somewhere along the line , somebody put Blueing on the concave side of the Punch . All blades snap opened and closed after oiling and blowing out . Model number is now visible and so is the Patten No. on the 2 piece can opener .
After :


Not a knife that I will carry because of the Proud Tip of the main blade which has the typical No Nail Nick blade of their Easy Opens that I have seen . Just Oiled & Blown Out and both blades Snap opened and closed with the typical Cattaraugus THWACK .
Total cost for Both was $30 but they both are now rescued . Neither an Old Remington or Old Catt deserves to be scrapped IMO .

V.P., nice Queen toothpick with beautiful bone handles, and good to see your first Daddy Barlow.

r8shell, neat old "N. B." folder and certainly not a common stamp. Very little information on them and I would bet it was a contract knife or a major company's "second" line.
There was surely no lack of great knife makers in the Connecticut area at that time who could have produced that model.

Old Engineer, wonderful clean up on those fine old soldiers.
