Re: Old Hawkbills

Anyone recognize this old beauty? The only marking on it is "Made In USA". It is 4 and 1/4" overall closed with steel bolsters, liners, and pins.

Re: 2024 POS Exchange

The last knife was the best of all. A beautful stag handled old jacknife with a really unusual main blade. I had a hard time seeing the tang stamp but finally with the help of a magnifier I could read it. NASH Hardware Co, Fort Worth . I couldn't believe my eyes. Nash Hardware started in the 1870's...

Just back from the nuclear stress test so now I can finally have some coffee. Nothing like a couple of doses of technitium to start the day. Will be glowing for a couple days.

Re: Japanese "Sabre" Brand Knives

I have several Sabre knives, tang stamps include Japan, Hong Kong, USA, and China. I did not own a Sabre Ireland until I found 2 of them for sale on the same table at a local gun show. One is a 2 and 5/8" pen and the other is a 3 and 7/8" stockman. Both are shell handled, and as you can se...

Re: Case 75 blade bevel

I picked up this 2 and 5/8" pen for a couple of bucks at the gun show recently. It has a Sabre, Ireland tang stamp, first one I've seen. Interestingly it appears to have the "new grind" on both blades. Was this most likely a product of the Jowicka plant in Ireland that Imperial acquir...

Re: Broken, Battered, Beat-Up, Bruised But Beautiful Old Knives

How about this old Wilbert for being beat up and abused. Note how the rocker pin has been replaced by a nail and the nail bent over on the mark side. Some one also tried to serrate the blade. I bought it for a buck because it has one useable blade I need for another Wilbert. IMG_5561.JPG IMG_5560.J...

Re: Broken, Battered, Beat-Up, Bruised But Beautiful Old Knives

This Western States sleeve board jack would qualify as abused by looking at the way the blades have been sharpened over its life time. Still has real nice bone and a bomb shield. The master blade has a swayback and the pen blade has been broken and reprofiled. Still sharpens up good and carries good...

Surely has had some bad sharpening done on it for most of its life, but should be worth that.
