Great knife, I don't know what happened on April 7th, but two months and a couple days later I was born.____DaveTsar Bomba wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 5:10 pm I don't have a lot of pearl but I do have this knife that sees regular use. This unknown-maker pipe tool and knife from Sheffield has the initials JHC and the date April 7th, 1947 inscribed into the shield. I have no idea who JHC is or why April 7th, 1947 is significant, but I am using this knife for the reasons it was created in the first place nearly 73 years later.

The pearl smoker's knife was created to commemorate my one month and eighteen days on earth.
Send it back.

Thanks Ken. Beautiful pearl on both of those!

Re: Vintage Mother Of Pearl (MOP) Knives
Thanks to everyone who's posted. As a Schrade collecting fan of MOP that 8656T strikes me as outstanding. Hard to find in that condition!KAW wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 12:10 am Jewelry is a most appropriate adjective to describe the knives posted in this thread. Some fantastic knives shown since I've been here last...
Here's a recent acquisition I made from a local antique shop. Schrade Cut. Co. Sunfish Lobster Pattern №8656T which appears to be unused or carried especially for its age...
Dan... I like your new avatar.
Here are 6 Schrade Cut Co 2-1/4" MOP lobsters with a sterling friend. Mirror polished blades, polished inside. All but one of the pearl knives have milled nickel silver liners. All are at least 75 years old. One might be over a 100 years old. More detailed info regarding the pattern here: viewtopic.php?f=64&t=67234
I don't always respond to great posts but I always appreciate seeing them. Thanks for posting!

Re: Vintage Mother Of Pearl (MOP) Knives
I picked up this nice MOP Congress at our local flea market today for a few bucks. It has 4 blades and is 2 7/8" overall with rat tail bolsters. The tang stamp is Gladstone Cutlery Co Germany. There is nothing in my older Goins or other books I have mentioning Gladstone. Am I correct in calling this a Congress?

Re: Vintage Mother Of Pearl (MOP) Knives
Nice, OC! Looks like a well made knife. I can't locate a single Gladstone folder, from Germany, on Ebay...for sale or sold. Love the master blade on that!

That's a nice knife.
Beautiful blades and nice crisp stamps.
Pearl and bolsters, it's all right there.

Re: Vintage Mother Of Pearl (MOP) Knives
Thanks Joe
Are you familiar with the name Gladstone? Could this possibly be one of the pre WWI imports from Germany before all that was ended?

No, OLDE CUTLER, sorry, I'm not familiar with that stamp at all.
I could be convinced, though, that that is an early knife.

Re: Vintage Mother Of Pearl (MOP) Knives
Hello, new member here, and I am just learning how to tell a penknife from a citrus knife from a whatever... I have an interesting pre-1920 WR Case & Sons MOP knife, engraved "Dr. G.M. Edwards." It is stamped on the tang of the smaller of the two minor blades. It looks a bit unusual to me with the stamp location and the two pin construction at one end. It is in rough shape, with MOP loss to both sides along the liner edges and the back handle has a tight crack and loss to the right corner next to the bolster. Much darkening, discoloration, wear and pitting to the blades and liners. I'm hoping someone can identify the pattern name or number and a rough value estimate. I don't think it's worth much with the condition issues, but what do I know? I was planning on including it in a murderous doll auction on eBay. Thank you for any knowledge you can share!
