Some old knives to look at, if you like...

[jnevill]

The first one is a non-crimped bolster Imperial, with the original finish - unfortunately as a younger man I tried to scrape away a small rust spot, before I knew better.

And a crimped -

A couple of Pal's, I'm surprised there isn't more interest in this brand, considering the history...

An AJ Jordan, with some beautiful swedging -

New York Knife Hammer Brand -

 

[jnevill]

Robeson Whittler and a Cattaraugus Jack -

A nice old Western with "Concave Ground" spey blade -

Then this "mystery" object -

An Eagleton Knife Co Whittler with propeller shield - You should hear this knife walk and talk!

It used to be my favorite old knife, until the Hoffritz...

I believe your mystery item from Wostenholm is a tag they used to use on the underside of a wooden box that held Razors, a seven day set.

That Jordan is in excellent condition, I lightly took it to my sharpmaker, and it took a VERY nice edge. Unfortunately the main blade is lazy, but it is a thing of beauty to behold. Or be holdin'.

Ah, yep, that would make sense. I figured it went on a case of some sort, but I wasn't sure if it was old stock or new. I picked it up in an antique store about 5 years ago for ten bucks.
