"Old Knives"

That is one match strike that makes sense - maybe they actually used knives and matches in its day?

It looks like someone tried to drill a hole into for some reason but not sure why THERE!
 
A C.F.Wolfertz 3-3/8" barehead jack which is all steel....bolsters, liners, no brass or nickel, and a great even patina.

VERY nice barehead Jack! Love the bone, both jigging and color.

Thanks for sharing!

PS, would love to see how the blades sit when closed. If you have time in the future.
 
Fran,

Thanks so much! That really is a lovely jack. Nice blade centers, nail pulls.

When the blades are closed you get an appreciation for the old cutlery factories and the way they were able to place nail pulls. .

Kerry, I wonder if those scales were drilled to go on another frame, because they were drilled before they were put on.

It sure looks that way doesn't it. I'll check to see if the holes are in the liners as well.
 
Another Schrade Walden. I picked this one up for $20, at an antique store in Eugene, Oregon. Barely used, perfect patina, new knife snappy! Deep reddish peachseed bone; what's not to like?? I've since oiled it up and rubbed it down.

When I went there for the knife show, I got there a day early, and shopped downtown a bit. Also found this nice cabinet!! And some other toys;

The Ebony and Gold cane is going to a good friend!
 
Nice cabinet for knives. I like the cane too. The Schrade is a real peach as well. Great scores one and all Charlie! Did you get a new camera? Your photos here are first rate. :thumbup:

I did get a new camera, Anthony! And I am just learning how to use it. It's a Nikon S630, and it seems to have good Macro for knife pictures. It won't replace my scanner yet, but maybe someday.
 
"3 3/8" closed. Uncleaned early stainless knife, approx. 1920 - 1940. Original crocus finish intact on unused, unsharpened main and under scratches on secondary. Most manufacturers of early stainless knives had " stainless " boldly etched on the main blade. Apparently these gentleman considered that approach too subtle for their tastes and decided instead to hammer it into the barshield. It does appear though that they got the stainless formula pretty well down, not a pepper inside or out. In addition, the crispness of blade action at open, close, and the half stops as well as blade snap remain almost ridiculous in strength."

Nice looking pen Vince, thanks for sharing. What strikes me about this one is how a basic knife with straight lines, symmetrical frame, two spear shaped blades, master and pen, can still come across so classy! Love the bone, color and jigging also.
