Thanks you guys. I think Wright's called it Golden Horn.

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks you guys. I think Wright's called it Golden Horn.

I think it's the Golden Oxhorn. I don't think it's generally available though

My humble contribution.

Here's another old pruner for this great thread - I posted in under Old Knives but no doubt belongs here as well

The Hatch Cutlery Co (1885-1899; Bridgeport CT) was started by a Sheffield Cutler, Fred Sackley, who emigrated to the US. His partner in the start of the company was a gentleman with the last name of Undy (first name unknown). In less than one year the company was sold to George Hatch who retained the business until 1899 when it was sold to Challenge Cut Co… Hatch made quality knives though finding one or any in good condition has been a challenge (no pun intended …

This Hatch Cutlery Co Hawkbill has a closed length of 4 & 3/8”. Nice cocobolo handles with brass pins and a brass liner, and a nickel silver bolster that has a brassy tint probably due to the copper content. The tang stamp is abit worn as noted in the photo but reads “The Hatch (curved)/Cutlery Co/Bridgeport CT” … Still hard snapping and tight, and the blade is in decent condition with a full kick …

Cheers!

This is my first Northfield (and GEC). Went way out of my way to track it down from a dealer because I love the swedge and long pull.

 

[Campbellclanman]

NICE GEC ibute21!

Long blade matey - a beauty for sure!

Thanks! I use pruner/hawkbill style blades a lot in my line of work, I've always had an appreciation for the pull cuts they can do. This is a much nicer one to use around the house and in the garden. It's an absolute beauty to use

See, I was close.

Picked up this decent Schrade Cut Co with pretty nice wood and close to full blade.

 

[waynorth]

Nice one Augie! Pretty handles!!
Schrade used to sell those as electrician's wire-skinning knives, with the point nipped off like yours! I'll try and find the ad for them!

 

[Augie]

Thank you Charlie.

 

[knowtracks]

Sweet Cut Co. Augie!!
My contribution on this snowy day is a rather large J. A. Henckles at 4 3/4" closed and a fuzz under 8" OAL. She's a hand full!

An older Schatt and Morgan pre-Titusville at 4" closed and a smaller Pruner from Shefield, I-XL at 3 3/8" closed..........
