"Old Knives"

[1fartsmella]

Here's a pair of CattaraugusES? Cattaraugusi? The trapper is 4 1/8" closed with a 1906 Patent liner lock, & the peanut is 2 7/8". Both with classic worm groove bone handles. New York State sure HAD some great knife companys.

Love'em ! Thats how a Peanut should be :thumbup:

 

[1fartsmella]

Here are a few Reverse Peanuts. It's interesting that most of the Regular Peanuts have Clip or Turkish Clip Master Blades, while most of the Reverse Peanuts have Spear masters. Left to right Robeson, Keen Kutter & Hibbard Spencer Bartlett. The HSB was probably made by NYK.

Here's the HSB OVB Barlow,this one has seen action.I wonder how many owners it has had ? All in all,she still walks n talks great & is really a nice slim profile pocket carry Better,IMO,than alotta newer ones

Kutmaster rope knife
I think these were "life raft" knives ,not sure..
Again,plenty of blade play,scales not so tight any more,but it walks & talks like ,real good,sharp & feels like a cutting pro,in hand

This is the Electric Cut Co.,Walden jack
This one is some knife. Great bone,this is built really well

I really like that Electric Cutlery Co. jack. You can sure see the NYK Co. bone in that knife.

I really like that Electric Cutlery Co. Jack.

Roger that! That is one no non-sense Jack knife built to work. :thumbup: It just seems say, 'Yea, I am here for the job' 'Excuse me coming through.'

Thanks for the nice comments,but most of all,thanks to all for the participation here.
Here's some shots of that Butler Bros whittler The long pulls on all 3 blades are really nice A really cool knife,that has signs of someone about to,but narrowly escaped,grinding to sharpen & ruining,the blades The small ones are so freakin small,it is amazing Half stops on those two & cam tang on the main,zero blade play & or rub

That fixed blade is FREAKING AWESOME dude!

I could see re-making it into something sharp however....

How NOT to sharpen a knife

Here is the same Electric Cut. Co. jack,my friend has...

Quote :

"Electric Cutlery Co. 3 1/2 " closed, hammered pin era, swell end jack. Save for the crisp grinder marks on the near full blades, the finish underneath is mostly original. The knife is virtually unused. As with many other U.S. jack knives I've handled, built around this time period ( 1910 - 1920 ) , the blade snap and pull are near ridiculous. The ( factory ) blade grinds are crisp and sharp, and the matchstrike pull remains intact. This company always used gorgeous bone on their knives. Note extra scale pin, reverse center. I've seen and handled a few of this exact knife and they were all built this way. Apparently the front shield
pin serves the same purpose, but on the obverse side of the knife."

Here's a half whittler,for a Sunday morning showing
This is what he says,
"Cutino half whittler, 3 " closed. Obscure name, but nice little knife from Kansas City. They didn't leave much to chance on the bolsters; slanted, scribed, and pinched. Not much air space in there when closed up. No blade rub. This is how they are supposed to fit. In my pocket all week. Had to clean the lint out to scan"
