I did notice that thread and dropped a couple of pictures over there as well. Thanks.

The least expensive knife I have bought in a while. I looked through a half a dozen of these to find one with decent closing snap and decent color.

Ever since I saw black mamba henckels square end stockman with slanted bolsters, I've been on the lookout for one. Finally found it. The seller undersold it's condition, for sure. Its nicer than the pics showed. I never could find any information on these particular ones, so if anyone knows anything, I'm all ears. Look for it in the carrying thread fairly often after the holidays, id imagine.

I don't know anything about it, but that sure is one handsome knife.

Here's a Utica that Mike (Galvanic) was kind enough to sell me. it's from the Utica factory board display. Stamps on both sides of all of the blades. About 1910-1912. Right after I got it I was cleaning off some shelves and found a Knife World article on Utica that had pictures of Mike's knives and some great history. I have new appreciation for vintage Uticas now.

Wow! That's a beauty, Mike! Congrats!
I've always liked the brand, having lived in the Utica area for a decade.

Mike that is one incredible knife, a lone example in that condition no doubt. Have a nice Holiday Season!

 

[Mike Robuck]

Thanks Gary. I bet you’ve seen some nice ones.

You too Jerry!

Went Christmas knife shopping, couldn't resist picking these up for myself. Loving the long pulls and swedges. Walk'n'talk on the trapper is excellent. The stockman the sheepsfoot and spey have a softer snap than I like but all 3 I looked at was the same. Least they're consistent. Everything else Fit'n'Finish wise is top notch. The swirls on the trapper are concave, giving almost a finger groove feel. Their calling it Tortuga Trapper, tortuga is Spanish for turtle. I like it, nice color and "jigging" I have never seen before.

Mike Robuck What a sensational capture! And I'm not normally a big enthusiast for MOP. Sunk joint and nice shot of the split back construction Just wondering how often that brass needs cleaning & taking care of? Because I find it greens up with verdigris pretty quickly on my knives. Any 'insider' information about how to keep brass from greening?

Your Christmas Holidays started with a fine bang this year

Thanks, Will

Thanks Will. I’ve only had it a few weeks. Mike took great care of it. I put mineral oil on most of my old knives. I use lemon oil (furniture oil) on wood and stag.

Mike Mike Robuck I have to echo the others, what a great find! The Utica brand is indeed an interesting piece of Americana.

I just caught this half Congress. I find I have an interest in green. The difference between mark and pile covers is there but not to the degree seen in these pics. I wonder how often CSC used dual shields.

 

[black mamba]

Congrats, Freak, glad you finally scored one! I have emailed Henckels and sent photos of mine; they said they would forward to their historian, so we'll see if they come through. At least I have some hope. Here is a closeup of the stamp, etch and shield.

Just got this Remington cattle knife from the early 1930's

 

[Mike Robuck]

Love that Remington!

Jeff, Germania over on Levine's forum might be able to provide more info on your Henckels.

 

[black mamba]

Thanks, Mike, I'll send him a note.

Where did you get that one, if you don't mind me asking. If it is a non supporting dealer, please shoot me a pm. That is a nice looking scout stockman.

 

[Signalprick]

A non BladeForums dealer has a sale on the #71's. Never tried one so I figured what the heck. Not a bad knife. If I keep it I might try my hand at slimming down the handles.
