Beautiful Shapleigh you have there.

Thanks. I always have that one on me.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

I think I’m thirty four weeks behind. So…



I looked at all your knives, and like all of them!

Your yellow handles and patina look great, Jeff.

That’s kind of you to say, Bart! I’m confident Mr. Bose would be pleased that you are using his knife.

I always enjoy seeing these two stunners JJ, but that huge Rope blade is just incredible! They must be a real pleasure to carry

Thanks a lot for your very kind words, Jack!!!

Wasted the whole morning dealing with my computer clown But at least I had a couple of special knives to fondle Just having some cheese on toast

You have both a super cool pair of knives to fondle and some very tasty eats! Computers, you can't live without em, and you can't shoot em!

Without seeing any Pile Side and Top Down photos , I think you may have a pretty nice knife . Depending on the price , I guess that I would have bid on it . It looks like Stag , it has the metal end cap , and it looks like it just may have Integral Bolsters . That may very well have been made in the 1890's . Somebody loved and used it a lot . If it is still reasonably tight , I would sharpen it and use it .

William IV reigned 1830 to 1837

Thank you Harry for your input. VERY cheap to buy....no bidding.
Surprisingly, this knife still has good snap to it. The only negative is some play when open. As far as the coat, seller listed as stag.
I will definitely enjoy it for what it is.View attachment 2072986

Those are integral bolsters

Looks like Integral Bolsters to me . I believe they stopped making them in the early 1890's . Maybe somebody can give you good advice on snugging the play up a little . Carry it in good health my friend .

Sorting out the play wouldn't be hard, but on a knife that old, arguably, it might be better left alone

What was the tell tale sign on dating it to William IV ???? Inquiring minds need to know . Was it the W R ?
Edited to add : Rufus1949 looks like you have a very old Pruner my friend

Thanks, Jeff.
Getting to know you fellas in person over a selection of one of Cracker Barrels southern breakfast plates sounds great. I'll check with the one who keeps our social calendar,
(wife), to clear that day.

Cracker Barrel is my favorite. Where are you dudes meeting up?!?!?!

I haven't looked for that Harry, just spotted the regal stamp. Probably pretty obscure with a knife that old
