Vintage lobsters let's show'em

[CNoyes]

Nice knife, but not a "Lobster", which have blades on both sides of the knife which bear on a common "Y" or "X" shaped internal spring, generally.

Ahhh... Got it. Thanks. This is how BF educates me.

Here are a couple of stag lobsters. The warm golden color just grabs me on the Ulster dolphin.

Time to boost this thread back to life. Here is a J. A. Henckels that I acquired and John has photographed for me.

Fantastic knife ! Is that a punch? Cool !

Charles, That Henckels is a beautiful knife. A super rare pattern in fantastic condition. John's photos really make that knife look like a museum piece. Just noticed the master blade has nail nicks on both sides. Thanks for sharing, Barry

Beautiful Henckels. Wow!

Since we're all here...

Here is my latest lobster. An Orange Blossom built by Jim Dunlap using the old Remington blade configuration. I have posted this one in the OB thread, but it also belongs here. I'm including a pic of the secondary blades from a mint Remington for comparison.

View attachment 720805 As near as I can tell these were made in Maniago in the early 50's. They came in bone and stainless. The most useful feature to me is the curved jaw flush cutting cuticle nipper, so much so, that I modified one example to only sport the nipper. It is my most used pocket tool. Skin tags and hang nails are history. The bone model is really thick. The one I modified is quite slim because I took out a row of blades.

I know this beauty is not a vintage by age, but she is by design. A true Orange blossom by Joel Chamblin in gold lip. New addition to my collection and I want to share it (show it off)

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the long thin tool that folds out of the backside of so many of these knives? I tried googling, but apparently my google-fu is weak on this topic.

It is a nail file.

It is a nail file.

Am no expert, but have eaten some lobster and crab on occasion. No doubt it's a small file, but I always thought it might also be used as a pick to extract meat from difficult to reach areas.

 

[Shurke]

Thanks for educating me. I appreciate it.

My non-orange blossom lobsters. The second is a Repeat Needham Bros. The rest are Keen Kutter and have been previously posted in the Keen Kutter thread.

A couple more, both Keen Kutter.
