In my pocket today .. W. Bingham and Co. Cleveland - Any idea if this main blade has been altered or is it original? Also, anyone know the history of the maker ??

A large Hardware Company located in Cleveland, Ohio during the last half of the 1800's and first half of the 1900's. Looking at the knife closed, it was likely a spear main blade. Very likely that the end of the blade was snapped off when somebody tried to pry something. 🤬

Somebody has tried to re-profile it into a sheepsfoot due to the broken blade and sharpening wear. If it still sharpens up and is a useable knife ............ why not ? :thumbsup: 🤔😊

For sure! I’ve hit a new gear lately with the K’roo. I can’t put it down. Once I started using it instead of babying it, I really have enjoyed it so much more. It’s been over a year since you sent it my way and I’m enjoying it more now than ever.

The lamb would be unstoppable if it had retained the snap in its backspring after its stag surgery. Oh well! Some are just lookers if you know what I mean!

Have a great one my friend.
