I seem to remember hearing that back in the day people would hang a horseshoe up somewhere in their kitchen for good luck. Maybe the horseshoe brand on that knife is a variation on that?

Here are 2 old butcher knives. The smaller one I got a while back for 10 cents at a yard sale. It's 12.5" long. The handle is hand made. Don't know about the blade. The larger one was made by Bridgeport Knife Co. It's 17.5" long, and has a rosewood (I think) handle with 4 pins. Pewter has been cast onto the handle on both ends. Doesn't look like it was ever used much. It would make an awesome knife for a mountain man! Both took an absolutely wicked edge. Now I need me a big ole ham to slice up.
