The Southington Cutlery Company, Let's See Yours

Nice knife Joe, Southington is another of those old companies that made very high quality knives. They are not easy to find in good condition.

It is very true, John.
I'm always glad to find one.
Thanks for the nice comment.

Clear stamp Joe.

This old thread should be put back in service.
Another Knife Collector started it off with good information and a beautiful knife.

Here is a fine little (3 5/16") equal end jack with Ebony covers and half stop on both blades.
Except for that crack above the shield and some blade loss, this knife is a good as the day it left the bench.
What a honey!

Thanks for looking.

This town is busy with plazas now and a popular gunstore and Smith. I have knever seen this brand and that one is kneat. As good as knew.

These are the only 2 Southington's I have, both unusual, one is a large jack with bone on one side and stag on the other with 2 different tang stamps and the other is a baby Barlow that unfortunately was cleaned but still a very nice knife, the last pic shows it in comparison to a standard Barlow and a 14 TC Barlow which is a small one.

John, that is pretty cool old Southington jack, saved from one week to the next.

That little Barlow is a great knife.

Thanks, John.

Thanks Joe, appreciate it. I found that Jack at a junker flea market in PA, quite a surprise to come across that. The Barlow fooled me as I bought it online and was expecting a full size Barlow with The SC Co bolster stamp, imagine my surprise when that little knife came out of the box, have never come across another like it.

Missed your nice little collection John. You have amassed quite an overall antique collection.

Thank you Lyle, really love the old knives.

Here's a nice little dog leg jack from Southington. 3 1/2" closed. Two snappy half stops.

Good thread to bring back to life, Joe! I really like the old ebony jacks, the dogleg especially! A couple of very nice knives, John! I really like the strongly arched tang stamps on the pen blade of the jack and both blades of the barlow!

That's a great one Joe!
Another brand to collect...

You and John get your share Joe.

Cool score Joe - looks to be a hefty dogleg and a Southington to boot ....
