Re: W M Buck?

I misremembered, the Buck family is in the London Knife Book,which lists a number of Buck's, but no WM. In the photo, it looks like it says something below the "WM BUCK" stamp? It might well be as Charlie says,that it was a German contract knife. It does not have the finish of a London mad...

Thanks Monte! I understand how it can be, that is an awful sinking feeling when you take stock of a counterfeit knife. I hope it all worked out for you.

Re: Irish made or embelished knives

Thanks K7K,
It is an interesting piece, the ivory is choice and the fit is very nice. Strangely enough, it is only the screwdriver and awl which have a true crocus polish with the blades being a glaze, quite odd. Either way, it is a finely made knife, well assembled with attention payed to detail.

I use one as you describe Colonel, an electric with an heated core. It makes the job easier, but it still is a sticky and slow process, at least for me anyway!

Monte, Tool shows are a good place to look. The internet is another option. The real difficulty is in the price. I also have an antique store friend who gets in this kind of thing as he likes books. You might try asking around any antiquarian type book stores.

Re: Alfred & son celebrated cutlery

Nice knife Ludwig,
I can't find any Alfred & Son in Tweedale's Directory of Sheffield Cutlery Manufacturers. To me it looks to be a German made knife.
