Very nice! You can't go wrong with BRK. And there's just something about the name of that knife that I really like... ;)

:thumbup: Thank you! I am amazed by the quality, I dig micarta and this is my first A2 knife - and Canadian as well - now I (hear my purse) have a big problem of choice who will be the next : Lil' (turuois canvas) or Special (antique ivory)? I had envisaged to get a mikro, but the mini is exactly the right size. On the list I have also a folding Grohman
 
JP Very nice new arrival there! You had any other postal deliveries from abroad lately....?:confused:

Thanks, Will
 
My newest is a gift from rreddon, a Case Copperlock.
It's bigger than I'm used to carrying, but giving it a try this week. I sure like the way it feels in hand and it's making a fun job of cutting up cardboard boxes. :thumbup:




Thanks, Randy.
 
Harry, the #47 especially, with the quad-threaded bolsters, just looks terrific! Some patterns just ache for threaded bolsters, and they really work on the stockman.
 
Found this pretty - roughly peanut sized - slip joint from local auction site for steal price.

It says "Marshall Wells hardware co / Zenith M W H Co". It has MOP scales, long pull on the main spear, half stops and good walk and talk. Blades are bit wobbly but this will make great gentleman carry!

Here are some tang pics from the seller:

Does anyone have any extra insight on this knife and age?
It really brings some joy to almost accidentally to run in to such nice knife like this. Pocket knife for pocket money.
 
Beautiful knife, and a great find. Found this on the net:

According to Steve Crow, Olympia WA, member M-WTCA and PNTC:
Hi, Marshall Wells Hardware Company was started in 1892 when A.M. Marshall bought controlling interest in Chapin Wells Hardware company in Duluth. He changed the name from the Chapin Wells Hardware Company to the Marshall Wells Hardware Company. I have the 20th anniversary issue of the Zenith magazine [1912] giving the 20 year history of the company. Sometime late in 1916 or early 1917 the name was changed to just the Marshall Wells Company and the hardware part was dropped.

So, if the tang stamps reflected this change, your knife was made between 1892 and 1917. I would try to locate pics of knives known to have been made after WWI to see if their stamp was changed to Marshall Wells Co.
 
Newest for me. This's ebony case/Bose cattle knife. The more I use it the more I like it. A gift from a great guy.

Very nice folder and nice shooting as well AL. The blade pitting is quite deep. Do you suppose it had a bad case of rust that was subsequently removed?

Gorgeous! Sorry I don't know anything else about it, except that's the type of knife that keeps me on the hunt. :thumbup:
