"Old Knives"

[sunnyd]

Kerry, that was some Mother of All Toilet Seats on that English fruit knife you displayed a while back

Looking at my hallmark lists, it appears that this beauty is now 130 years old being an 1879 model, quite a history.

Nope, MOP is what is she!

Here's a snappy little Remington serpentine candle-end Lobster with some kind of yacht club emblem etched and blue-inked into the pearl. Still has its original blue velvet-lined box in great condition.

This belongs to Knife World editor Mark Zalesky. Kerry and Tony saw it in person at a recent show and after Kerry told me how nice it was I asked Mark for a photo. IXL Virginian with double rat tail bolsters. Mark said 5 to 5 1/2 closed.

 

[Will Power]

oooohhhh! Barehead is such a beautiful handle type, any idea of sizes on that one Mike Robuck?

 

[JatMat]

Mike, how did you not grab that one and run. Really nice one! Thanks for sharing,
Jim

 

[VCM3]

Mike,
That reads "Virginian Knife" on the blade stamp ?
That is really,really nice.My kinda pattern.
Thanks for posting it.

[Mike Robuck]

Yes, Vince that's what it says. Looks like an extended spring on the secondary blade. Mark goes to a lot of knife shows, so he does his share of CFing and CEing.

Lemme just say,"I wish,this was mine"

 

[VCM3]

here's the rest of her

The owner notes ,"Unused, unsharpened, uncleaned, 4 1/2" closed. This was the nicest one I'd ever seen"

Enjoy,Have a great weekend ! :thumbup:

Wow - that ol' bullet is in amazingly good condition. Thanks for showing it.

While I've never collected or used Remingtons, that knife could bring me on stream,
(and closer to debtor's prison I am sure!):thumbup:

 

[lambertiana]

All I can do is drool over those Remingtons!

 

[PBJSIII]

^ Ditto! Though when my new job gets going good I MAY get to fulfill SOME of my wants!
