I drove by a Settler's Village, while day tripping with my wife last weekend and decided to check it out, thinking there'd be a fair chance of finding something of interest to those on the porch. Hopefully I wasn't wrong.:confused::)



Inside the cabin.









A few from the Village museum



Not sure about this knife


Not for delicate sharpening, hard to keep your hands stable with all that pedalling.:D
Canada, England, and Germany as joint patent owners.


I'd never heard of these before.


 
IMO there is enough knife content to keep this as a thread in Traditional.

Please keep the discussion on the knives.
 
I'd be the best strop man you ever met if it kept me off of that pedal-powered stone! :eek:
 
Very interesting MT the first knife in the 5th picture reminds me of an old skinner I have.
 
I see aboriginals and Skippy-where didja say this was again?:D
Is that a Saynor with the peaner burrr?
I really really like that old carving knife -look at the shape of that blade!
Now this is spooky but I was in my kitchen this morning and the word "beefalo" entered my mind.
I thought thats what they called the hybrid -mind you the one in that picture looks to have a terrible thyroid condition.
 
Meako and Pokerchip: It's Bobcaygeon Ontario, Canada. A couple of hours north of Toronto.

Meako, it's a Racoon, I know it doesn't quite look like one. It is rare to see, but a genetic mutation allows for this to happen. It can happen with almost any animal, with varying degrees of mutation, the most extreme resulting in Albinism. (an Albino) In which case the eyes would be pink, and the creature would have poor vision.

Wow Meako, the word Beefalo had never entered my consciousness before seeing this.(I'm 52) Wonder what triggered your thought.
Ya, a bad thyroid, and missing an eye!:eek:

Ok, back to knives.

Pretty cool!

But I find it a bit strange that the only folding knife is a pruner. I'd have thought that maybe there would have been a barlow, or a muskrat, or dare I say it, a trapper?:D

Excuse the non-knife comment, but a knife may have caused the situation...

I keep wondering why the cow has puncture wounds all over its side. :eek:
Or if not from a knife definetly some kind of injury.

He may have been as keen gardening enthusiast as well as a trapper:)-they had to grow stuff to eat as well as racoon giblets.
