Re: Rope Knives
Speaking of old rope knives, there were about a dozen listed on Ebay today. Some looked pretty nice.

Re: Rope Knives
I have in my posession a knife that was given to my father when I was 4 years old, he gave it to me before he died.
it has wooden handles, 1 handle has the name stamped into it [St Louis Cordage Mills"
the opposite handle has "AMCO" "all weather rope"
at the hinge portion of blade, the words "shapleigh HWD Co, with an emblem in shape of a diamond, inside this emblem is the letters DE
the opposite side of blade has the serial #, I presume, "A109"
Is there anyone out there who can tell me about this knife?
I have 3 pretty good pic's of the knife, however this site wouldn't upload them
if so please email me,I will return your email with pic's in an attachment
Thanks
Samuel

Welcome to AAPK. Sounds like the knife is one sold thru Sharpleigh Hardware Stores under the Diamond Edge brand ( DE ) Pictures would help greatly in allowing folks here to clearly see what the knife is. Here is a link to a good free website for resizing pictures. I have used it several times to allow me to post pictures here on AAPK. Give it a whirl and see if it helps you too...............

Re: Rope Knives
MB, since you resurected this thread, I took some pictures too. I like the big old knives too, and it "feels" like you get more knife for your dollar, at the prices they go for.

Re: Rope Knives
I guess a Toenail was a rope knife too. Plus a Thomas Turner, that I really like.
