[Augie]

A couple of SFOs for Lone*Star!! Particularly nice with Damascus blades, Antique white Bone, and Teak!!View attachment 1366703 View attachment 1366704 View attachment 1366705

Nice Charlie, I really like Damascus blades and those are beauties.

Thanks Charlie!
The Top Knife in that Photo is a Harrisons Bros. Sheffield Knife, I picked up this very old one up a while agi, it was covered in Paint, took a while with a Bamboo toothpick to clean it I can tell you!
This is a Marples- Like the Woodwork tools, I'm sure made for them and there are a very few Knives out there with that Tang Stamp.
Integral Bolster work - and a Massive Back Spring that makes this Ol' Girl still snap with authority!
I hope this Knife belongs here, as I do think that this knife was made with the intention of a Rope Knife, it has the exact same Blade shape as the Harrison bros knife and I do not think it was originally a Hawwkbill that is worn down.

What are your thoughts on this one?

ps- I agree our friend Augie , Those Damascus ones are very nice Charlie!!!

It looks like a rope knife, Duncan!! Integral bolsters; WOW!! testifies to age!! It's a beauty!! Used with a separate marlinspike!!

Some beauties there Charlie.
but what did they open their beers with?

Their teeth.
Men (and children and women) was tough back then.

Somehow I missed this thread when I was looking for somewhere to put this Russell stag Navy Knife, most likely made post Civil War to the Spanish American War.

Fantastic Congratulations

It's great to see this great thread pop up again

Wow!!! That’s is a VERY cool Knife Augie mate.

You would have to ask yourself just how many you would find in this condition and with the Etch.

Thanks Duncan, condition wise they are hard to find like this, a lot have badly worn or ground on blades, surprisingly a lot of them have at least remnants of the etch, it is a pretty deep acid etch.

Here is, what looks to me like a WW1 navy knife, stamped Keen Kutter, that sold online yesterday.

Sorry you didn't get it, Charlie. It wasn't me, I wasn't bidding.

Back when I bought this rope knife from Lone Star, my son declared, that it was "His". Over the years, he has checked to make sure I have not traded or sold it.

 

[Augie]

Sheffield made stag handled.

Here are 3 of mine, NY Knife and an OVB, and a rare Miller Brothers gravity knife. Not sure if i posted these before. I also have a JT Mount New Jerst wood handled one but need to take pictures of it.
