T~bone Tuesday

I was on my jollies last week and really missed not having a knife with me.

Its great this week though, because it means I can take out all my knives and give them a carry. I think I'll aim to cycle through them all....holding back the few bone specimens I have for Tuesday's of course!

This one is a great pocket worn bone CSC Jack, gifted to me by Puukkoman. Cheers buddy :thumbup:

 
My gifted (thanks Duane!) garnet jig GEC 23L.

I'm still not sure, but Gev, I confess I've just enjoyed the knife to date, rather than hunting that info. I should look into it.

Thanks for the comment Bob, hasn't it just. It's got scalpel like blades. They certainly knew how to make the most of their steel.

Hey, that's great Pete.

Obviously the sheild position is not identical, but I wonder if these were the same maker. As stated above I'm not sure of the maker, I don't believe 'CSC' to be Canal Street. Who was the maker of your version?
 
Thanks, I picked it up about two years ago, I took a chance on it, at the time I couldn't open the blades, there were a few decades of mud dried like cement, but the scales looked nice, so the lady selling it at the flea market wanted $10, I talked her down to $7, this is what it looked like after a slight cleaning




I needed to get the blades opened



Tang stamp was really worn but with a magnifying glass and various angles I was finally able to make out the tang stamp



Back side has a #29 stamped on it, it has probably my favorite scales of any of my knives.


Side by side before & after

Hey great info Pete. You got a real steal of a knife there, and cleaned it up real nice.

The scales do look really great with the dark and light contrasting so well balanced. It's a pity about the 'serrated' main blade ay?

Interesting on the manufacturer, thanks. Ours both seem so closely related it's hard to believe they have not some of the same knife-making genes going on.

I should research my knife more.
 
Stich, that one too is a beautiful old knife that has earned a good safe home. Looks like you did an excellent job bringing it back to life!

Thom, if you do find anything out, please let me know as well! I was unable to dig up any useful info.
 
Okay, okay, I know I made a disparaging comment about another one of those threads when this one was first suggested:mad: But if you can't beat them, then join them:D

Not a lot of makers doing smooth bone anymore but at one time is was fairly popular.

Holley 3 1/4" Whittler c.1900. One of the things I really like about the old smooth bone is that it takes on a lot of aged ivory characteristics.
