The Cattle Knife

[waynorth]

Gotta keep these dogies moving along; here's a more recent one, a Queen city.

And a Queen/Burke collaboration.

Back to the oldies, a Case XX Redbone.

And finally an interesting pair, a near mint Syracuse, and an old Rodgers that I carried for years, with horn handles (appropriate for a cattle knife, don't you think?).

Thought I'd toss these in for the edification of you newer collectors out there. Jim Parker marketed these, somewhat over-exuberantly as made in the 50s-60s (hmmmmmm!). They were selling up over $100 for a while (hmmm again!), but they make a good $50 carbon steel user. Nicely made for that price, actually.

Thanks for keeping the thread alive waynorth. It is always a treat to view your fine knives.

My pleasure, s-k!
Threads on specific patterns are educational for all of us!
Here's a Shapleigh;

(probably Ulster or Schrade made). I think this is from post-WWII.
