Vintage ONTARIO "OLD HICKORY" What's old is new again!

[HARDBALL]

Hi all,

I'm JAZZED! On it's way to me is this (modified) vintage Carbon Ontario Old Hickory Butcher (now KEPHART) style knife. About a year ago, I found HALF an "Old Hickory" Butcher knife in a tool box being tossed out in the trash. Some idiot must of used this once 12" blade as a pry bar as it was snapped in half! There was perhaps 5.5 inch of blade remaining. I knew I had a Diamond in the rough. I sent the knife to Jeremy in TN and this is the results :

I can't wait to get my hands on this old/new beauty!

That looks great.

Nice looking knife. What's even cooler is the salvage story behind it.

This one turned out really nicely. That is a really cool story of how you came across this knife. You will have to let me know how you like it once it arrives. I posted it on my "wall of fame" here http://longmireknives.blogspot.com/p/my-work.html

Regards,
Jeremy

Hi all,

Thanks guys, I appreciate your comments. Jeremy, I'm proud to have my knife posted on your "wall of fame". To say I'm pleased would be an understatement. As mentioned, finding this knife in the trash (call me "Mr. Junker") makes the end results all the sweeter. Next up for mod will be a very nice vintage 6" Carbon Butcher knife "UNIVERSAL HAMMER FORGED" (purchased).

Regards,
HARDBALL

on my to do list at the moment - thinking of a 4" handle 5.5-6" blade combo at the moment

Man, that is nice. Slicker than owl snot for sure.

 

[Gevonovich]

Man o man is that nice. You have the wheels turning in my head.

 

[jkulysses]

Wow that turned out so good! I love those Old Hickory kitchen knives for the same reasons I love carbon steel slip joints. Take such a nice edge quickly.

 

[glennbad]

That thing looks sweet!
