"Old Knives"

Hey thank you my friends once again for the comments!
Charlie- my stone time is great - many many times were frustrating ( :(:confused::mad: )- not so much these days!
Nice to see ya Paul buddy! :)

Eisman- that is STILL a nice Schrade Sir- even though you say it's cleaned, I am sure most of us would not want to walk away from that one!:thumbsup:

Cal!!!! Oh man that Stag Carver, the C+C of Joseph Elliot's - what a stunning, beautiful example! Those Bread Knives are stellar! Thank you for such a great Follow up!

Cal - that Southington!! now we all simply LOVE a good bit of Swage work on a great Knife- you got it with that one! Whew!!! Beautiful knife- everything about it!!!

That Cleaver!!!! there must be so few of Buffalo Brand big boys out there like that one- Filleting Whales?
 
Nice shows in the last coupla pages, Duncan and Cal!!:thumbsup:
I'd like to see the fish you are catching, (and Filleting), Cal!!:eek:

Every time I see this one I imagine a master cutler of old looking at that beautiful piece of stag and holding it for something special. Then deciding to build the knife to suit the stag, rather than cutting the stag to fit another knife.

Thank you very much David . That is exactly what I think when I hold it and really look at the Stag .

I*XL Black Stag, a nice set in a Wooden Placement, The Stag is so much better in a nice warm Sunlight!

Here is quite an Older Set - its a shame the smaller top Knife was so "Favoured" Not much Blade left, the set is beautifully adorned with Silver Ferrules and Caps and very nice Stag - two variances in Colour- Both Nice, The Large Carver is like Holding a small Pirate Sword :D

A very Old Russell Duo - I really, really like these...

One of my favourites, a great Old Lockwood Bros.Carver, well used - but still commands such attraction....

This blew my mind when it arrived, the photo's were extremely poor, a whim worked out so so good, I just love the Celtic Silver adornment that highlights Stunning Stag!
Heavily Acid etched Blade "The Eureka Carver", the Steel is equally impressive....

Lathams Stag in this set is shown down by the much Older Stag - even though the Stag on this set is still rather nice- it doesn't have the Bang the real old stuff has by any means ....

A couple of smaller Stag items :)

A older Joseph Rodger set, I do like the Stag in this set- it isnt breath taking- but imo darned nice, being a JR set in this condition that has nice Stag I couldn't walk past it....

This Giant serving set believe it or not is big! The serving Knife / Fish Slice is as long as the very big Carvers you have seen!, Both The Serving Knife and Serving Fork have absolutely gorgeous Stag, nicely etched ..

This may not look much in the box, a typical Server Knife but the curved Dyed Stag is gorgeous when in the Hand - I love this little Knife!

Thought I would squeeze these in, a set of Old old Wooden Jigged Russell Table Knives, Kinda cool..

One of my favourites by far this set to me has a Century of existence, I have the silver marks somewhere, for the life of me I cannot remember the Manufacturer - made for a Scottish firm, The Stag makes me go kind of weak at the Knees- Not "popcorny" by any means, but retains the rough marks of times long ago when in a more natural setting :) and a mellow look that only 100 years+ can give!...

Beastly Jigging I admit, but Awesome Styling of this Carving Blade, Heavily etched "El Dorado"
Still holds some kind of charm - so of course I picked 'em up! :rolleyes:

Well I can keep going all night so have to stop there- there rest break into individual pieces and old Civil War era'd Table Knives, Carvers that are just post Civil War etc...
Hope I haven't choked up the "Old Knives " Thread with what some may brand as nonsense, if so please let me know and I will delete this post :) :thumbsup:
Because Of Covid I have been waiting for some older knives to arrive, hopefully someday soon they will arrive! Mt North Dakota Post Master was the guardian of them until such time deemed safe to send!
Speaking of...I gifted Paul a great ol Keen Kutter Stag Carver and Fork that has stunning Stag, they must be very early from memory ( no photo I dont think - maybe Paul will one day show us).

About this much.

Now that frustrates me. The machinist in me wonders how something gets that neglected. I can hear my grandfather telling me about a man and his tools...

I know what you mean. It is just about like it was when I got it about 45 years ago. Not even sure when my great aunt’s husband passed away but I don’t remember him at all. Wish it was like brand new.
 
Wow- Thats a very nice Knife Cal, just look at that Blade Grind!!!

Another Great one Augie- nice find indeed! Whats the size of that beauty closed?
