Ruth is still the Greatest in my book.First of all I'm glad to be posting on page #714. Baseball fans will understand. This knife was supposed to be a surprise Father's Day present but my stepson spilled the beans. It's a 4" black micarta slipjoint from Nicholl Knives. It's got a turquoise inlay. It's linerless which makes it nice and light. The AEBL steel blade is stone washed and very sharp. It came in a nice hard plastic case. The same as a pistol case. Overall, Tony did an excellent job on this.View attachment 1355076
No doubt about it. ThanksRuth is still the Greatest in my book.
Awesome knife!![]()
Very cool old knife, Ron.
Nice, Jer! I've been telling myself I need to get me one of those for years.My new Russell Grohmann original #1 came today. I remember them from my youth, though I never saw one in my youth. Maybe they advertised in BSA publications.

Very Fine looking old knife my friend . Does it say Sheffield on the Tang ? The Blade has a Unique sharpening pattern to it I think . This makes another fine one that you could carry and use every day . What number does this one make ??? 57 or 58 ????i got this one in the mail yesterday. I'm still rubbing on it with mineral oil but I figured I would go ahead and show it here! It's a Humphreys Radiant from Sheffield. I believe it is what they called a Pit Belt Knife. Still doing research. It is an advertising knife for a company called Hayden Nilos which made conveyor belts for mining operations. I bought it because I have a Lambsfoot made by Humphreys Radiant and you really don't see that many knives made by the company. This one is a very tight and solid old knife. The blade is rough, but it still has a lot of life left in it. I think the handles are very nice and will rub up to display even more character after I have removed some of the dirt.![]()

Thanks. I'm glad I finally bit.Nice, Jer! I've been telling myself I need to get me one of those for years.
Thanks Harry! It’s a solid old knife. I thought it was cool because of the bail. Like my Humphreys Radiant Lambsfoot I think this is a very well made knife. It does say Sheffield on the tang. It’s partially hidden by the bolster but I can clearly make out the ELD below the Radiant. The tang stamp is actually in great shape. The blade does have a different grind to the edge on the front side. I don’t know if it was made that way to cut the tough belts easier or if it was a poorly attempted sharpening job by a previous owner. I’m leaning towards the latter. Either way I’m going to make it sharp and use it. What number you ask!!!! Who’s counting????Very Fine looking old knife my friend . Does it say Sheffield on the Tang ?
