None vintage, but it is a great and very ergonomic pattern in my favorite size (3.7 - 3.9" usually).

And finally my stag user from Northfield.

Here is my very first SFO.
An HJ, based on Queen's existing teardrop pattern. It has a Robeson-patent punch, and a typical (for a teardrop) leaf-shaped spear blade.
The jigged bone came from an internet supplier.
The only one of my HJ SFOs done in stainless!!!

Thank you all for sharing even the newer ones are

I have been looking for this picture a long time...thank you Charlie. Great looking knife.

Now that is a fine collection....wow.

I got these two Robesons from the early 1900s. Both snap like a bear trap with nothing even resembling blade wobble. I am pretty sure I could pry open a safe with these.

You don't often find a clip blade in a teardrop - Schrade Cut Co.

Note the little glitch in the swedge. They hand cut the swedges back then. Some are of the opinion that this was a second!!

Glitch or no,glitch, this one has me drooling with envy. That peach seed jigging is soooooo sweet.

 

[chisumr]

Vintage is a relative concept.....

The Peach-kernel on that Teardrop Clip is transfixing Charlie:thumbup::thumbup:

What company made this knife? Also, model number? It is beautiful Willgoy.

Very nice, Lambertiana! I've never seen another Globe, I have one like it myself. Beautiful. Here's mine, on the bottom. I had forgotten about this one!

Charlie, as usual, your photos leave me with a puddle of drool in front of my keyboard.

Thanks for the additions, everyone! I just can't get enough of these!

That is a very cool knife. The shape of it, the wood scales, the simple shield, the NYK stamped into the bolster, it all comes together just right in my opinion. Very nice indeed.

Here is my ebony scaled Robeson Shure Edge EO teardrop:

I generally don't like wooden scales (too light in weight and color), but the ebony scales on old knives have developed a weight and color that is beautiful--most likely from years of contact with oils from all the handling. This Robeson has a mushy main blade, and I have my doubts that the pen blade is original (it has half stops, where the main blade does not), but I still love it. Super easy to sharpen to a razor edge. This one is my "pencil sharpener"!

Many thanks for the admiration, very kind:thumbup:

But it's not a company..it's out of the Wilfred Works stable, a Master - Kerry H himself
