Agreed, that Ellenville is a pure beauty- I would be proud to present that knife in any company Mike.

Somehow I knew you would find something on that one Herder Thank you once again

Schlieper made some really good quality knives, but they aren't commonly found here in the U.S. even though there was a post WWII rep for them for a few decades.
Pre WWII knives and any paperwork on them are mighty scarce.
Here is a large (4-3/4 inch) 50 year old three blade stockman model with jigged bone handles and nickel silver trim.

Nice post Herder Sir, and nice Knife!
I usd to own some great Fixed Blades by Schlieper.
Early Carl Schlieper are extremely good knives.

I got a new phone and the camera is way better so I felt like pulling out my favorites and getting a group shot.

Mike Robuck · Sep 6, 2018

Solid lineup North Shore! I really like the coke bottle, Ka Bar and Miller rope knife.

Campbellclanman · Sep 6, 2018

Awesome group of knives North Shore!!!
I agree with Mike - that Peachseed Scout is a beauty also! Nice!

Wonderful folders North Shore! Who are the makers left to right? Can’t make that out on most. Guess my eyes are going out

Thanks

Nice ones NS. I think I’ve seen that Utica elsewhere. Did the snap ever come back?

Miller Bros (Meriden USA) barehead jack, 1872-1926. Looks like a prior owner polished the blades, but spared the tangs.

Wow!

Mike Robuck · Sep 7, 2018

Double wow! How big is that knife Stuart? Love the pattern and the shield.

Duckdog · Sep 7, 2018

Thanks, y'all. It's 3 3/4". There's a slight reddish tint to the dark wood, so I'm thinking cocobolo, but I haven't looked for a catalog description, yet.

Stuart, the Mike's

, Kevin,Lloyd, Herder, you guys are setting the bar very high, don't know if I can keep up but I'll give it a shot.

Picked up this Schrade Cut Co jack this week and it is an interesting knife, first it's a big one at 3 3/4", second the clip main has a great swedge on it. But what is real interesting is the mark side has Schrade pick bone and the pile side has Schrade peach seed.
Pins match, color matches, knife does not look like it has been apart. Any ideas, repair job, salesman sample, bad day at the bench? Whatever it is a beautiful knife and the 3 3/4" size is about my ideal jack.

Any one of your reasons for the scales being different are possibilities Augie but none of them make it less desirable. Nice Jack sir!

Nice Schrade, Augie. It could have gone back to the factory for a warranty handle, that might put it in the transition time of the different Jigging styles!! The technicians would make it look like a factory installation, IMO. Cool Schrade Cut specimen to have in any case.

Two jiggings for the price of one!! Sign me up! I understand the quibble, but, damn, that's a nice knife. I mean "darn".
