I love this one Jack Black Jack Black :thumbsup: Perfect understated elegance and looks like a fine slicer too!

Thank you very much Ray, made by a young Polish couple who live in the same town as me. They specialise in forging old patterns, going back to the Viking era. My knife should have arrived yesterday, but we didn't get any mail for some reason, so I'm waiting in for it today :)

That's a beauty, I'm really enjoying seeing the historic European patterns being posted on The Porch recently :) :thumbsup:
 
Very cool looking knife, Jack! 😎 :thumbsup: Looking forward to seeing more of it.

Thanks Barrett, it arrived around lunchtime here, and I'm very pleased with it :) It's incredibly light :cool: I bought a fire-steel from the same maker (Jorgencraft) at last year's Jorvik Viking Festival, just before the first lockdown here, and was very pleased with that too. They produce some very interesting patterns, and I think I'll be ordering something else soon :) :thumbsup:

Schrade, New York Germany, probable Colonial, Camillus Cub: $4 each. I would have passed on the watch-chain knife, but she came down from $8. S
Sportways of Paramount CA, made in USA; I'd guess Colonial. My Octopus's Garden knife.

Nice haul Jer :cool: :thumbsup:
 
Thanks. The Octopus's gardener is going into the farm toolbox, of course.

I'll be more or less absent for a week and a day. Nothing medical.

Are you not saving it in case Ursula Andress calls round Jer?! :D ;) :thumbsup:

Hope you're away for something nice mate :thumbsup:
 
Picked up these 3 dime-store beauties at the antique mall today. Left to right: a “U.S.A.” knife (unbranded but whose provenance is clearly Providence), Imperial, and The Ideal.

I WAY overpaid at $25 for the 3, but I felt like I owed the guy a purchase. The seller is a really nice older gentleman who has also sold knives to my dad (a Camco Barlow and a Chiquita Banana advertising stockman). I have been in there a number of times mostly just to look around and shoot the breeze, so when my daughter said she wanted to go and look for something else, I decided today was the day I would actually buy something. I asked the guy to pull out the secret stash of old knives he keeps in a box under the counter, started rummaging around, and settled on these.

The “U.S.A.” one is 3 3/8” long closed and looks like it has never been used.
 
One of my two recent arrivals... won this Boker on the 'bay for a more-than-reasonable price. Appaloosa bone covers, C-75 carbon steel copperhead. It's just a very well made knife. Pulls are right around a 5 for each blade. Blades are pretty much perfectly centered, no half-stop, no wobble. I'm both pleased and impressed with the quality of this one.
