Today I'm carrying a couple of older folders and a recent find in a fixed blade. The folders are Henkle & Joyce Hardware Co. (Lincoln, NE, 1900-1932) eual end pen with a "Woodmen Accident" etch (?) on main, a ML Cutlery Co. 3 blade pen (I am still looking for info on this company), and a small game knife by Daniel L. Cannady, Allendale, South Carolina. The Cannady blade is 2 3/4", knife is 6" OAL. Mr. Cannady died on May 27, 2016.

You are carrying some beauties today, Jack! You are even sporting my favored colors. ;) Always a treat to see that ebony and that lovely red soup bone, makes for a match worthy of heaven.



The particular pattern of this knife currently escapes me... But I sure do love the wood on this, is it Cocobolo?



You appear to have an enviable collection, Stuart. It really is a treat to be able to view all the exceptional knives you have under your wing. Today is certainly no exception, I especially like the 3 blade pen, those bolsters (I forget the proper term for that style) are intriguing and quite handsome in their subtlety.


I've minimized my carry some today. I was prepared to walk out the door with my usual gallimaufry of 4(ish) knives and the burden in my pockets all of the sudden became noticeably irksome. So I trimmed my selection down to just these two and we will see how I do... I've already used both! There is something to be said for that when one works in an office...

Good looking pair, Jack! :thumbsup: I don't know if I mentioned this before, but when we were visiting Bath, I looked for Henderson's in just about every grocery store or supermarket we went to, but couldn't find it anywhere. :confused:



Seems like an appropriately festive knife for the occasion! :thumbsup:

I went with something in sawcut bone today, as well.

Thanks Barrett :) Yeah, they have strict controls on Henderson's at the Yorkshire border I'm afraid. I'll have to try and smuggle some to you ;) :thumbsup:

Hope everyone has a great weekend :) I'm carrying these two today :thumbsup:

Thanks, Jack. after some thought, I believe that the "Woodmen Accident" etch on the Henkle & Joyce Hdwe. refers to Woodmen of the World mutual insurance, a subsidiary of the fraternal organization of similar name that was founded in Omaha, Nebraska in 1882 ( a decade or so prior to the founding of the hardware firm).

Thanks, Dylan. My stepfather had several hobbies, one of which was collecting knives. When he passed in 2012, I got his knives and a new hobby. I have been slowly going through the copious collection, identifying and cataloging as I go. My search for IDs and backgrounds on the knives is what brought me to the Porch not so long ago. As I go through them, I'll post my finds with an open invitation for comments and information that I may be missing. (The old handwritten notes that my stepfather left are cryptic to me. But I'll keep them.)

Three Aces there Stuart, those oldies are impressive, the Pen is the substance of my dreams. Exquisite fixed blade by that late knifemaker, really compliments those old rarities. Impressed! :thumbsup::thumbsup::D

Thanks, Will. yes, that is the Pen of Pens to me, too. The blades are very well made, but also graceful, with a smooth transition where the blade meets the tang just above the choil. And I was lucky to get the Cannady; it was the only one of those that the dealer had.

What great pictures and location. Thanks for sharing, as I haven't been in the blind yet this year (our late season opens today). I see that you and I have the same "liniment" for cold. cramped knees and hands in the blind. FYI, my Lab is ready to trade me in, too. He cruises the dove field, looking for more productive shooters.
