I just had to show you a scan of the "gullet" of this Binghamton!! The "wrapping" spring and handle width is quite striking!!

Oh, that's a cracker Jack!

Thanks Rachel!! Actually it's the prize!!

Thanks to those who commented on my stockman. I like that knife a lot.

It would be the "Star" of many collections!!

Paul, I hate that knife . . . . it keeps me up at night!

First thing on opening my computer, I went back and looked at it again!!
Good morning Paul and Jeff!!
I hope you get some sleep, Jeff!!

Thought I would repost this knife in a few places to get other opinions. I find the master blade a Sheffield peculiarity.I thought at first ,someone might have altered a pruning blade, but upon inspection the kick doesn't appear to be altered. This would have to be done to allow the blade seated inside the framework.

Normal farmers jacks with this blade edge would peek out above the frame. Opinions, insights.Thanks

 

[waynorth]

The kick does not look "cut down" from here!!?? Looks cleaned though!!??

 

[wlfryjr]

Yes, I believe it’s been “professionally” cleaned. Have you ever seen a blade made like it?

 

[waynorth]

Not exactly. It almost looks reshaped. A sheepfoot is usually straighter on the spine of the blade! If it was previously a pruning blade, maybe it had a shallow "hook"?

The kick looks good. And the blade has a nice even full flat grind with a thin edge bevel all the way to the tip, with swedges intact. If an amateur had reground a pruner blade it would be thicker behind the edge at the tip. So it either came that way from the factory or someone with good skills reground the blade.

Nice well-cut stag, btw.

Primble ISW arrived this week. 3 3/8" it's a gentlemanly little knife. Top quality craftsmanship on these old ISW knives.

Agreed, Rob, that one really pops!

I don’t think it was reground either.
It’s the same people that made the above pattern knives , so we have some high class gardening being made by Thomas Turner.



It was probably the Mills (Ernest or William) while working at TT or in private the Clement gardeners;
