That is a very nice jigged coat.

I don’t know how old this Providence Cutlery is, but I keep it in my carry rotation. I like it.

The oldest that I actually use would probably be this 80s Opinel....



I have older I carry but they aren't really "used", as in a work.

Part 3 of a threefer; Barlow, Jack's Random Tuesday, and this Your Oldest. Just an old Case, but not as old as me. Don't have any really old knives. If I read the Case tang chart right, this is from 1965-1969. What bugs me is that I can't remember where I got it. The patina is from previous owner(s), and part of the initial attraction.

I was offered this in trade by a forum member, and happily accepted. I very much appreciate this old Queen; so I make a point of carrying and using it occasionally.

Love the simplicity in this one! Love how the long pull extends into the tang.

Beautiful old knife, the pile side has quite the character.

On a side note, I think your boat has a hole on it!

My oldest knife that i carry and use from time to time is an imperial ez open jack knife that was issued to my aunts step father when he was in the Navy during WW2 it's odd in that it's got bakelite scales and a clip point main blade so I personally think he bought it from the ship store as it's not technology the style issued at the time from doing research on it I think it's from around 1943

I carry and use this Imperial 1932 -1956 era Easy Open Jack often. Not regularly but often.

This Ulster is pretty old. Don't know how old.

These two are not as old. Sharpen up real nice. Because they do they get a lot of use.

TheOldest knife that I can and use is the Stag Pruner but I only carry that in the Summer . I keep 3 knives on my dresser to choose from to carry daily . The 2019 Blade Forums knife , Charlie's Lamb , and this , probably , Pre WWII Taylors Eye Witness Lambfoot . It was and is my first Lambfoot . It Probably gets carried every other day on the average . It is a knife that I have enjoyed having and carrying since I got it .

Love the shield and banged up covers.

This pre WW2 Camillus easy open spends a lot of time in my pocket, the old steel takes a razor edge easily.

 

[afishhunter]

two "newbies" added to my potential vintage carry.
Pre-1939 Robeson 622110 English Jack. (part of this week's carry.)
EDIT 04-25-25:
"Pre-1939" stands. I found out today that the tang stamp dates it from 1911 to 1921. Not the 1922-1939 period I thought.

1930's -1947 4 Line Camillus EO Jack.
A model 33EO?
Any military blade etch(es) is (are) long gone.
