Boys Knives Through the Years
Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
Older Catt,a Camco that has engraved in plastic “ Lone Ranger” .Then a newer Case, not sure that qualifies here?
And a New Maher and Grosh #14 chain knife.
This has been a very interesting read here about boys knifes, seems they’re made for all ages of boys, even us Older Boys

Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
Derek recommended that I post this here. I will try to dig out my Boy’s knives and take pictures in the coming days, I have a few.
This is a GEC Tidioute pattern 15 Lick Creek Boy’s Knife. Gunstock Jack’s had a few of these customized by Esynx with cocobolo handles and a stainless crest shield.

Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
So here are all the boy’s knives that I have. Some may not be considered a true boy’s knife since they aren’t bare heads, but they are smaller knives. Wasn’t sure if the Barlows would be in this category or not.
The jigged blue bone one is the very first GEC knife I bought.

Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
Very nice group of "boys" you have there Mark! Really like the one you posted by itself before the group shot. BTW, why are they called "boys" knives?
Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
Go back to the start of this thread, you will find it interesting reading, and there is a good link to an earlier thread.

Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
Great looking group of boys knives Kerry ... Nice scores on all but I especially like the Frary, Rogers and Northfield!! Was the Northfield stamp the arched Northfield/Knife Co ???

Thanks Longblade. I believe it was a straight stamp. Its kinda hard to see but what is left of it looks to be in a straight line.I just got the Rogers Saturday morning at a flea market I frequent. Paid 12.00 dollars for it.

Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
What can you tell us about the rodgers?
Interested in the stamp and the size
Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
Handles are plastic. About 2 7/8". Still has original Grind.
Hope the pics are clear enough. I just got a light filter to cut down on glare.

Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
I'm always looking for nice Washington Jacks, landed a nice unused 4 line Camillus last week and pleasantly surprised to find it's only 3", most are 3 3/8" to 3 5//8". I guess this makes it a boy's Washington Jack. Can't remember ever seeing another.
Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
That is rather cool
3" closed is my sweet spot - great to see something a little more dressed up and a standard boys pattern
Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
Dang thats nice. Are the handles bone?

Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
Beauty of a knife John ... but imo and my 2 cents - it is not a boys knife but a Washington Jack as you allude to above - the tip bolster is not commonly seen on boys knives of old though a very few exceptions may exist... again John just my opinion after researching these in-depth 4-5 years ago for the article...

Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
Thanks for the correction Lee, I put it in the boy's knife category because of it's size, was not sure myself if it was considered a boys knife.LongBlade wrote: ↑Thu Nov 05, 2020 4:01 pm Beauty of a knife John ... but imo and my 2 cents - it is not a boys knife but a Washington Jack as you allude to above - the tip bolster is not commonly seen on boys knives of old though a very few exceptions may exist... again John just my opinion after researching these in-depth 4-5 years ago for the article...
Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
A small 2 3/4" Ulster that somehow retained its original chain.
Re: Boys Knives Through the Years
Nice, I can’t get enough of the chains.
