Curtin & Clark Cutlery Co.
Re: Curtin & Clark Cutlery Co.
Nice one, Keith, very interesting frame shape! Kind of a reverse dogleg with more curve to it than regular?

That is a terrific display with the box, knifegnome. The box and knives are spectacular.
The equal end cattle knife with the nice little clip is quite similar to an American Shear and Knife that I got not long ago.
Maybe I can find it tomorrow. ---------- found it ------------
Thanks for a great show.

Nice knife, Ann. Good find. Looks like it's in good condition.
It looks similar to mine on page 1. How long is it?
Thanks for posting it here.

Nice knife ZG ... It is a classic Physicians knife and a nice score! The flat bottom on the rear bolster was used as a pill buster.

Re: Curtin & Clark Cutlery Co.
Nice knives shown in this thread. This one is stamped Curtin & Clark St Joseph. 3 1/4" closed. Not sure if it's a Congress Jack or a Doctor's Knife. I found this pattern in the Romance Of Collecting Knives in the Shatt & Morgan Section. I'm guessing they made this for Curtin & Clark?

Re: Curtin & Clark Cutlery Co.
Sweet knife Barry ... I vote for congress jack - imo blade and handle look too big for a Drs knife .. Either way that knife has alot going for it in all ways - bone, bolsters, blades etc etc ....

Re: Curtin & Clark Cutlery Co.
Nice knife, Barry. Is there a quarry on the Island you're snaggin' these from?
Curved though it may be and the cap looks rounded I would say it's a physician knife.
A real beauty too. Congrats.

Great knife, Barry! With the rounded front bolster and the slightly rounded cap, I would vote for just calling it a swayback jack.

Re: Curtin & Clark Cutlery Co.
Never quite figured out this vintage knife collecting. I've seen fairly common knives go quick for a high price and other less common knives just sit. This is one that sat for a few months on EBay so you have probably seen it. I noticed it at first but thought the price was too high and waited until it came down to what I thought was reasonable.
It's a really nice large 3 3/4" bare end lack with great bone and full blades, it has been cleaned but the edges are not rounded off and everything including tang stamps is crisp, maybe the cleaning is why it sat.
Anyone know if Curtin&Clark made their own knives or did they have them made, I've seen that bone before but can't place it, also the font on the tang stamps look familiar, maybe Schatt&Morgan?

Re: Curtin & Clark Cutlery Co.
Nice knife John ... but I am no help in terms of the bone (looks familiar but I would just be guessing) or background for the company...

Re: Curtin & Clark Cutlery Co.
Thank you all for commenting, I did find a couple posts from years ago that do state the knives may have been made by Schatt&Morgan or Tidioute Cutlery but there is very little definite information out there.
