Show off your Maher and Grosh knives

William H. Maher and Emil Grosh started the Maher & Grosh Wholesale Cutlery Co. in 1877 with a goal to sell high quality US manufactured cutlery globally. The original business dissolved in 1988, but the brand has since been resurrected.

Hey Guys, Here are a couple more interesting Maher knives. It may be hard to tell from the pics but both knives are same size 3 3/4" Closed.
One knife has a much thicker backspring & Master blade & The extra handle pin on front side is located in a different spot than its twin sister knife. The knife that has Etching & long pulls on both blades is the knife with "smaller" thickness blade & backspring but also has a "Curved Stamping" secondary blade. Cool huh
Kindest Regards,
Mark

Those jacks have some age.Lightly very early 1900's late 1800's.The top knives I haven't seen anything like it before.I think it is re-handled.Undyed bone and carved.I would speculate it had pearl that was damaged.

The ~3" swell center pen looks like front handle is ivory and rear is a replacement with bone ? Stanhope viewer with lens missing ?
Here is a nice old 3 5/16" Maher & Grosh pen knife. Solid knife with nicely rounded handles.

Keith, nice el diablo. The clip blade on those has an appealing design with curving and swedging.

It’s hard to imagine those surviving as they are. It doesn’t get any better for collectors. Just doesn’t.
