Thank you Galvanic, I've seen some of your old salesman samples and they are something to marvel over.

Nice old LF&C with the classic "Universal" etch Joe ... Always nice to score an LF&C without black composition handles...

Re: Vintage Acid Etched & Stamped Blades
Mike, I'm not sure the word "elegant" should be used to describe a knife, but that was the first word that came to mind on that one.
Beautiful.

Thanks Charlie and Mike. It took a steady hand to grind the swedges!

Re: Vintage Acid Etched & Stamped Blades
Mike, It not only took a steady hand, those swedges were ground by wheels driven by the river. An amazing work of art, 150 years old. We are lucky to have photos of a knife in this remarkable condition. Thanks, BarryObsidianEdge wrote:Thanks Charlie and Mike. It took a steady hand to grind the swedges!

Thanks Barry and Lee. The wife has a new camera so hopefully I can take better pics at some point instead of using my phone.
Nice HSB Pile Driver!

Re: Vintage Acid Etched & Stamped Blades
I collect and also buy and sell knives.I have had many unused small pearl knives of different brands and patterns.Dad or grandpa got a knife for birthday or Christmas and put it in his sock draw and never use it.It was too pretty or too small.

Re: Vintage Acid Etched & Stamped Blades
Almost all these pearl Robesons are unused.
Bruce Volyles once opined that these type knives were marketed in gentlemen's clothing store and not so much in hardware or sporting goods stores and that many were discovered still in inventory when vintage knife collecting took off in the 60's and 70's and were snapped up ny the early entrepreneurs.

Re: Vintage Acid Etched & Stamped Blades
I posted these knives in the "A Challenge for You" and Homage to "Traditional Pen Knife" threads in Knife lore (look there for more detailed pics if interested) but these etches belong in this thread as well ...

Interesting etch on an older Kutmaster stockman. The knife does not appear to have flaws, but I may be overlooking the obvious.
