Re: Wharncliffe Knives
That is a nice one, Lyle. Looked it up in Goins, it is an old one as well.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Most of the Lenox knives I've seen were small pen knives. Goins says c. 1909-1914.
That Wharncliffe is a beauty Lyle!

Always looking for vintage knives with Virginia, Maryland, or Washington D.C. tang stamps. Any condition.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Thanks fellas,Wayne there is no substitute for experience. I guess you surmised it was a somewhat larger knife by just being a split spring whittler and not a pen?
It is a very large whittler at 4". You're good. I grin.
Most I know also call these Wharncliffe frames without the Wharncliffe blade.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Nice knives everyone. Here's three H. Bokers added to the mix.
A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).
Re: Wharncliffe Knives
What's the length of those Roger? 3 5/8"s ? Cool etch, of what significance is the Radium trademark?
First one looks like pressed stag again.
Has anyone seen pressed stag on an American made knife? All I can remember are European.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Lyle: The stag is 3 & 3/4", pearl is 3 & 1/2" and the bone handled one is 4".
Boker trademarked Radium in 1904 and used that etch on some of their earlier knives. Here's some clearer pictures and variations of the radium etch.
Not sure if that one is patent stag; The consistency is different. I think it is just pocket worn stag.
Thanks Dan!

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Googled Radium Roger,might have been the heaviest known element of the time??
Just wondered why that trademark.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Here is a lovely, albeit well used American Knife Co. Plymouth (Conn, 1849-1875) whittler with a Wharncliffe master. The pen and coping secondary blades are marked in the old horizontal style. The ivory handles have a choice master side, showing excellent natural striations.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Ah, the old ones. They sure show well. Quite elegant, there. Made right here where I live.
It sure is nice to look at. Thanks for showing that one, Beechtree.
