Way to go, Bro, Webster is always interesting! It's a shame the bone was messed up on the old equal end jack. Is it an Imperial?

A shame about that Rogers bone on the Imperial cattle knife. Maybe someone here can bring it back to life...

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Nice finds zoogirl, dj, Scott and Jporter. I fooled around and got behind on reading. Thanks dogleg. Tsar that sure looks like the same bone. Treefarmer that 6265 will outlast both of us and still be able to get the job done.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Check your question under General Knife Discussion on this knife and you will see at least 3 other examples of the same knife BUT different makers ... I am guessing earlier 1900s...zoogirl wrote:True. It seems to be a Mercator, but there are some differences. It’s quite pitted and does seem to be old.

I've got a couple Allen's with the folded steel sides that, I believe are really close to this. I'm not sure where I stashed them at the moment.____DaveLongBlade wrote:Check your question under General Knife Discussion on this knife and you will see at least 3 other examples of the same knife BUT different makers ...

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Went to my favorite antique shop today and while talking to one of the vendors there she gifted me with these five kitchen knives.I promptly gave her five pennies and told her of the tradition of,"give a knife;get a penny". She also has a Wabash Cutlery Co. picture handle tuxedo in excellent condition that we are trying to come together on a price.
Anyway one of the knives is part of the steak knife set she gave me about a year ago that was a wedding present for her and her husband(sadly deceased now)51 years ago.Two others are interesting:a Remington K4807 butcher knife with a hammered finish on the blade and a Hollinger Hand Made Fremont O. butcher knife. The other two are well sharpened boning knives with no markings.The odd thing about all the knives is the blade finish:All have a brownish coloration that almost appears to be corrosion covered with a semi gloss glaze. I don't think it was sprayed on or dipped but apparently occurred naturally. Maybe exposed to some type of chemical.
The other knife is a paring knife stamped Stainless Steel Pat. # 1,967,472 and an emblem inset into the smooth black composition handle saying,"Dunlap approved Western Made" Cost me $2.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
knife7knut, you have some of everything and all of it super interesting.
Cleaning out stuff and ran across this old letter opener from days in Cleveland Oh. It is really a substantial piece of metal. It is about 8 in long.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
At the SHOT Show in January, Buck Knives announced a return to ebony handles on the Buck 110 & 112 lockbacks. I’ve had my eye open for one and found it last night at a GANDER OUTDOORS in Fayetteville NC. OH

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
I couldn’t stand it - blister pack is history now - real nice (all black) ebony on both sides. Tight lockup and perfect blade alignment- I got a dandy. OH
Ps., go for it Jerry, the handles are as nice as the early models. Ganders price was $39.95, not bad at all for an ebony handled knife.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
The Winchester Moose is amazing. Absolutely GREAT handle pieces.
Winchester stamp is at an angle. Is this in any way significant ?

Found a 9 dot 1971 6201 Case Senator pen knife today at an antique store. Liking the color on this one. Thanks for looking.
Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Chris I like all 3 but the bone on that Winchester speaks to me.
Woodwalker yes, yes, yes those scales look good.

Thanks Joe. I shouldn't open both blades like that? Does it put to much on the spring? Still learning.FRJ wrote:That is a nice little pen knife, woodwalker.woodwalker wrote:Found a 9 dot 1971 6201 Case Senator pen knife today at an antique store. Liking the color on this one. Thanks for looking.

Many people aren't bothered by it but I think you should avoid it if you can.
