What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Humppa]

My lovely #68 White Owl was with me the whole day...

 

[Jack Black]

Man of man ...I will never get tired of see those lovelies, Primble!

And I see your a new member of the Jack Black penny club! Awesome example...1915 was a great year.


Additionally, I wonder if the handle material on my Saynor is original? I see in "Old Catalogs" that they were made in such a material but wonder if anyone knows for certain???? Jack?

Yes indeed, fantastic pics, as always, Primble, those are both lovely knives.

I'm afraid someone else beat me to that penny Gev, though it may have originally come from my bank

I was wondering the same thing about those covers, they're in great shape, but are certainly consistent with originals. Do you have a Saynor bank tucked away somewhere Gev? :thumbup:

I thought they may be original. Upon close inspection ...they seem original...but I wonder. The whole knife is in such good shape it had to have been stored in a drawer in Rhode Island. No...no Saynor bank...just dogged determination.

Neat picture and I would bet your grandfather would have liked your knife too! :thumbup:

Thank you sir. Love the stag on your IXL whittler, the pouch makes it over the top! Wonderful combo ... :thumbup: :thumbup:

Many thanks to Ryan for the trade. This Sword brand is my newest and I am still researching the history of it. Any help from the more knowledgeable members here is appreciated. I have gone back to the Camillus catalogs starting with 1947 and going forward about 15 years, Still no luck finding it. The previous owner thought it could have been a custom because he couldn't find it either.

In the end, both took a trip with me

Getting ready to bring this 67 911 in the future with hydraulic cam chain tensioner's, it was pretty advanced for its day as an overhead cam flat 6. Boker barlow in tow,

Faux Tortoise on that one looks really special Kris. I'm keen on Bökers, you get a lot for your money.

 

[Jack Black]

Nice to see that one Kris :thumbup:

 

[clutchcarter]

Well that should keep you busy for a while Kris. I hope you're not planning on using that Boker as a gasket scraper!

 

[MT Damascus]

Kris
I will be waiting to see that wonderfully executed piece of steel transformed into another work of art! I appreciated you sharing with us!!

Kris - very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing that cattle knife in the near future.

Thank you gentlmen, me too!

Thanks guys, a lot of bang for your buck with this knife. Mark, no scraping! I blocked out quite a bit of time for this job as I am pulling the motor, re sealing and painting, new heat exchangers, etc.

Possibly this era:
Sword Brand, a great antique Camillus pocket knife that was proudly made in Camillus, New York U.S.A. between 1906 and 1945.

and this:
Camillus introduced the "SWORD BRAND" line in 1906. Numerous
styles of folding and fixed blade knives were offered. The
early "SWORD BRAND" knives were stamped on the blade. Later
knives were blade etched with the crossed swords logo.
Camillus Cutlery Co

Great looking old knife.

 

[Old & In The Way]

Some beautiful knives posted this morning. I'm carrying this one today.

 

[Will Power]

Ooohhh! That Cat is Top-Cat.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Working from home today with this one in the pocket, thanks to Mink.

 

[Ribeyeguy]

I'm heading to the airport shortly so I'm knifeless.

Thank you Primble. I see no signs of any etching or stamps on the blade. Good to know I was just looking in the wrong era.
