Fantastic haul Jack. That Boker's a stunner, it's got it all that one. Nice bit of age too I reckon. :thumbup:

Thanks my friend, my generous donor reckons late 19th century, and I think that would be right

Wow Steven, fantastic pic, and thanks for the kind words :thumbup:

This is a good solid working knife, and the blades are in good shape (if completely blunt). Almost impossible to read the tang stamp, but possibly a Taylor’s (TEW) knife.

Jack,

This one looks pretty familiar to me, and is indeed a Taylor's.

King George III famously said of Sheffield, “Ah Sheffield, Sheffield! Damned bad place, Sheffield.”

Sounds like a good place.

The scissors and corkscrew on that Boker are beautifully done!

What a great bit of history you've got there, Jack. I'm partial to the Boker and that style of corkscrew. You have the makings of a museum!:thumbup:

Excellent Paul, thanks for that, am I right in thinking that's your dad's knife? :thumbup:

Thanks guys :thumbup:

Sounds like a good place.

It certainly has a good history

The scissors and corkscrew on that Boker are beautifully done!

I wish my photos really did the knife justice. Hopefully I can get some better ones at some point :thumbup:

Recently, I haven't been as active in acquiring new pointies as in the past, but still the mound on my kitchen table has grown. Since I had a spare hour this afternoon, I decided to reduce it by half a dozen



ADEE picked up this 1941 Joseph Rodgers British Navy Clasp Knife from his local market the other week. Sadly, some scoundrel has put what should be a lovely big Sheepsfoot to the grinder





This Lancaster Lino Knife, made by one of the Sheffield firms for James Williamson & Son was a lucky find, but again, some idiot had spent time abusing it





I picked this up the other day, from a local jewellers. At least the wear appears honest. Great walk and talk on the main blade, very little on the other. I'm not familiar with the maker.







This John Wigfall penknife is worn, but still has some life left in it.



Victorinox Waiter came from one of my drinking buddies, appropriately enough



Can't remember where I picked it up, but I dare say this Waiter's Friend will also see some use :thumbup:

Thanks a lot fellers, I'm afraid I only got through about 25% of the knives on the table, if that I'll try and get your Fish Knife done soon Rcs

SAKs aren't really my area, but I have a list of tang stamps, this - http://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php , and the knowledge that there are some very SAK-knowledgeable guys here to ask! :thumbup:
