"Old Knives"

[veitsi_poika]

Thanks Dwight




Hope you find something Kevin. My search skills aren't the best. I did find info that Hollinger made knives and tools. I believe Claus made knives as well but we're primarily making shears. Case made knives for Claus too so we may never know which company made this Hollinger. Thanks

Yeah check this out... found a full page ad from 1922 with 3 knife companies; Case, Schrade and HOLLINGER LoL Not bad company to be in on the same page.

Somebody made themselves a double-punch jack

I like to see the changes of blade shapes on old knives from sharpening and use. Straight edges can become curved, curved edges can become straight. Eventually, they all become awls.

Just got this one.


Imperial which I think is pre WW2 but It's possible that it's a wartime US Air Corp knife. It does have brass liners so I'm not sure ???

WOW....WOW......and WOW!!
Those who say Imperial made ordinary Knives- I dare you to say this about Steve's Imperial - man that Knife is Sweeeeeet! and in every way, just look at that gorgeous Main and that massive Sheeps-foot - Whew.......... and Bone that rivals any! Wonderful example Steve matey!

Gev my friend- I agree - The Double Bomb- pretty sure that Knife would blow any owner away- what a gorgeous Catt Herder

J. McClory Lambfoot. It's an oldy so It belongs in this thread too. Despite it's age it's rock solid. I'm loving the flush joint
