Thanks again for the brochure/article pix Jack! :) And I had asked you before if these were pinned through bolsters instead of the regular Schrade Swindon Key construction. They are! On this newest one, I can barely see the pin in one of the bolsters.

You're very welcome sir, wasn't sure if you'd have come across it or not. The bolsters were supposed to be polished so the pins couldn't be seen, and they were strictly 'export only'. I got hold of mine because it was classed as a 'second' as the pins are visible! Incredible really considering some of the rubbish that was coming out of the Richards factory at that time under their own name! :D :thumbup:

I sometimes wonder about the past owners of knives - in this case, I picture an elderly gentleman on the verge of senility standing before a grinder; or perhaps a deviant teenager that also likes to torture small animals and who will no doubt grow up to become a serial killer. ;)

Yes, really not pleasant to look at is it? I hate seeing knives that have been put to the grinder without skill, and this is undoubtedly the worst I've ever seen :(

Or put it in a sock for a cosh worthy of the trenches at Ypres.
I can't lay my hands on it right now, but it will reappear.

I'm taking my family along with my parents to brunch in a few minutes and this little Eagleton Knife Co. tuxedo will be in my watch pocket. It's from the same era as the coin. I hope everyone is having a terrific Sunday.

Very beautiful knives guys.

Carrying a couple new additions today.

This MOP Keen Kutter Pen Knife and a Schrade 896K Butter and Mollasses Stockman



 
I think I'm going to give this Schrade barlow to my brother next weekend and it hasn't seen much pocket time, so it's getting carried today.

Got this just before Christmas.

It wasn't expensive, nothing lavish but it's everything a good knife should be: well-made, simple,quality materials, right size:weight ratio. Other manufacturers could take note... All stainless. Cherrywood scales (no kitsch signature on the pile side either), pull is good, snap is fine. I'm happy, hope you are too

Regards, Will

Many thanks! :thumbup: It's a shade under 4" at 3 7/8th" or 10cm. Weight 52 grammes. Slim and these Solitaires come in other handles but I think they may be out of production at the moment.

Regards, Will

Ron, Gevonovich and Jack - Thanks for the compliments on my little ebony tuxedo. :)

Robert.B & GlennH - very interesting knives. :thumbup:

Jack - some really nice knives you've shown today. I especially like the large Schrade/IXL lockback.

Fire Beard - beautiful Washington Jack.

Will - nice Buck 302 and I agree, there's nothing quite as pleasing as an inexpensive, well made pocket knife.

combatjiujitsu - lovely photo and very impressive patina on your SBJ.

BigBiscuit (Bob) - great contrast between the vivid oranges and warm patina on your UN-X-LD.

Andi - very impressive lockback's you're carrying today. I hope your Grandma had a wonderful birthday. :)

Kris - gorgeous collection today. Each item is stunning, but my favorite is probably the Davison wharncliffe - wonderful stag scales on that. :thumbup:

Gevonovich - an aptly named Barlow today. Great photo, and of course, the watch is 'excellent' as well.

Brett - terrific stockman. I think that I could carry a Case stockman everyday and be quite happy.

Duane - lovely Languiole, and the horn scales are as nice as I've seen.

Lemmy Caution - two wonderful new additions. I love the tip bolster MOP Keen Kutter, and the Butter & Molasses Schrade is gorgeous!

cwt - the Schrade Barlow will make a wonderful gift. I'm sure your brother will be very pleased.

Paul - fantastic photos of your 'barbed wire' trapper. Very nice.

Old Hunter - beautiful photo. I can see why that one would be your special occasion carry.

Markesharp - the wharncliffe trapper is maybe my favorite collaboration knife and yours is a beautiful example. :thumbup:

avoidspam - stunning Manu Laplace 1515!

fairhaven - very nice forum knife.

Pete - really wonderful photos.
