Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
"Silver Steel" does have a history in cutlery manufacturing.
My mind connects it with Sheffield cutlery, but there's no reason it could not have been used here.
Wikipedia has this to say about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_steel
Whether Robeson was actually using this tool steel, I do not know.
Do you think the total etch could have been. "SHEFFIELD SILVER STEEL"?
Thanks for that !!

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
Now that we are at this point, I think I might have seen reference to a similar tool steel on a metal handled Robeson knife.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
A Google image search for "Sheffield Silver Steel" produces a lot of straight razors so marked or etched.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
Great - I think the evidence points to Sheffield Charlie but I can’t make out the first word of the etch at all ... I don’t think it says Firth and not enough room for Sheffield ..

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
I can almost think I see the ".......ld".
Wishful thinking, but I think there is plenty of room on the blade for "SHEFFIELD" to have been there.
I'm liking this knife more and more.
I was messing with it today. It makes more noise snapping into the half-stop positions than most knives do at open and close.
This knife has got some springs.

I put all the Terrier knives and razors into a glass top display case I bought at the Lexington Knife Show.

Especially the Barlow with TCC on the bolster.
I've been looking for one of those for a long time.
I've never even seen one in person, just pictures.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
One of my big regrets is that when first informed about Terriers by Cindy Taylor in the late 1980's, I declined to pursue or purchase them as I wanted "Robesons".
I passed up some great Terriers back when hardly anyone knew how old or great they were.
Now, it's difficult to find nice ones and there is more competition for them, so they cost more.
There's a nice jack on Ebay right now, but I'm not bidding on it.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
I searched "Terrier knife" on ebay and it brought up a few Bulldog knives, no USA Terrier knife. Charlie could you give a link or auction #.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
I was sitting in a parking lot last week while my wife was seeing one of her doctors and thought I’d check my e-mail on my cell phone.
I had a message from Lloyd Duff alerting me to a nice looking Terrier on EBay.
I looked at it, found it desirable and tried to buy it via the Buy-It-Now option, but could not as I was not logged into EBay on the phone and had no idea what my password might be. I know. Go figure.
Three hours later, when I finally got to my PC, the knife was still listed and I bought it, hoping it was as nice as it appeared.
This is what I received.
It is a 3 1/4” pearl handled Terrier Congress Whittler with a sheep foot master and two pens. The blades are close to mint with crocus polish on the front and glaze finish on the back. They all have half-stops and audible snaps opening, closing and at the half-stops.
Master is stamped TERRIER / CUTLERY / ROCHESTER, N.Y. And the pens are both marked TERRIER / CUTLERY. There is a dog’s head on the back of the master and and the pattern number 21 / 732 in two lines on one of the pens. That equates to a Robeson six digit number of 732021, which would be an early shape pattern at 021.
There is a little scratch on the front handle, otherwise they are in great condition.
Interestingly, after I received the knife, the seller listed another just like it, but not as nice. I looked at his list of auctions and he has five Congress Whittlers on EBay, all of different manufacturers. I found that very interesting.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
Thanks to all.
Anybody have an idea re' that small pin in the top bolster, front side?
Cannot see to know if it goes through the liner.

Beautiful knife! Perhaps the bolsters were pinned to the liners and that pin is showing? Just a wild guess.
