"Old Knives"

[edbeau]

Yes, it does for being so old.

My latest Geo. Schrade Wire Knife came in today. It is a 1-27-42 Pat. mark blade w/bottle opener. I believe with the red liner it is from the Boy Scout Kit. Other picture is it with my other wire knife a Pat. mark 9-?-26 with hawkbill blade.

Cool, predates the CRKT k.i.s.s. by a few decades

It looks like new.

The blade has been buffed, but the tang shows the age more. It is stainless steel, too.

Really dark and stormy out this evening so poor light for knife pictures... had to resort to my knife photo studio; sort of like school picture day LoL. Anyway, found a nice 3-3/8" E/O New York Knife Co jack dressed in classic bone.

Augie, I have never seen that exact Robeson stamp before and it is not listed in Tom Kalcevic's book.

I would date that very early 1900's or possibly slightly prior.

Very nice.

Actually found this in an antique shop...price was not far off from what it would bring on the auction site so I brought it home.

Tang stamp shows 1924-1936 based on the info I've fpund. Blades are both snappy, a bit of wobble on the main. Secondary has a half stop. Nice find compared to the usual overppriced junk I find.

Nice NYK Kevin, love the jacks with sheeps foot blades.

Picked up this old Robeson 3 3/8" jack, thinking 1910 to 1920, has much patina and great bone.

Nice old Robeson! I have one very similar!

I've seen many Schrade Cut Co's in molasses... but I had not seen an E/O teardrop until I spotted this one

It looks to be in great shape, too.

Very cool knife, love the color of the bone, but gotta say as someone who grew up an hour from High Knob, and can remember when the Norton one was the only Wal-Mart within a hundred miles, your background immediately caught my eye! I'm a Clinch mountain hillbilly Hazel mountain Dickenson county til I was 14, then right on the clinch mountain a few miles north of the Moccasin Gap, on Big Moccasin in Russell co.

I'm so excited about today's mail call!
I am a fan of Boker, but I don't think I have any really old ones. Until now, that is.
H. Boker's Improved Cutlery. (1860 to 1880s) It's 2 5/8", I think it's ivory, and aside from a broken tip on the pen blade, it's in great shape. Snappy with no wobble!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Neat old Boker R8shell. You should put that in Charlie’s Boker Stamps Thread

Ivory from what I can tell from the photos as welll

Rachel, Kevin, Jak, Justin, all great old knives, pleasure to see!

Picked up this early John Primble India Steel Works 4 1/2" English Jack with worn smooth stag and pitting on the metal, still has good snap and no play on the worn blades. I think it dates from the late 1800's with what research I have been able to do and was probably made in Sheffield.

 

[Mike Robuck]

Great stag and bolsters Augie! Shield is nice too

Yes, that is amazing stag!

 

[kai76]

Augie that is an outstanding find! Stag so good you can eat it. Stagalicious. Man oh man!!

 

[Augie]

Thanks all, appreciate the comments, I sure would have loved to see this knife when it was brand new 120 years ago.

Picked up a couple of Ulsters recently.
3-1/2” celluloid Ulster cattle salesman. Number MK 35UK on back side. It's from Schrade factory collection.
