Re: Old D S & K knife

I just picked up this old knife and the blades both appear to be quill blades with one side ground flat. My question is if the two blades is an oddity or not. I have seen only a few dozen quill knives but they were all single blades. Chance or a bit unique ?? The blades snap well and the ebony is g...

Very nice Ike ::tu:: ::tu:: .. Jordan has an interesting history being located in St Louis and Sheffield - one thing that sticks in my memory is Jordan did alot of trading with native Americans back in the 1800s when the west was being settled... and he had huge showrooms in St Louis..

Re: new york knife co

I was able to get this swing guard from Charles' collection. Forum members were most helpful in telling me that it was a somewhat rare pattern. This one has been used but there's a very light, small etch under the nail nick and a pattern number on the tang. John Ferguson took this photo for Charles...

Beauty of a knife John ::tu:: ::tu:: ... but imo and my 2 cents - it is not a boys knife but a Washington Jack as you allude to above - the tip bolster is not commonly seen on boys knives of old though a very few exceptions may exist... again John just my opinion after researching these in-depth 4-5...
