I suspect a lot of old farms up there hold schrade, ulsters, napanochs and honk falls tucked away in attics etc. I suspect it got lots of use. Since nothing was ever thrown or wasted a broken blade meant you just used the other blades. It seems the one blade was reground maybe from being broken too.

Regardless it will always hold a special place in my collection since it was off the farm. The farm was long ago sold after being in the family over 100 years. So it's a nice reminder of days gone by...

Over the course of documenting honk falls knives I have identified six patterns of pearl knives so far. Some are mine. One was posted here by Scott and a couple from the museum. I thought it would be good to put them all together. Of course if anyone can add to them please do. Since I have a little brake from work I am going to work more on my little book/buyers guide. Don’t think I’ll ever have all the info I would like but I have enough to do it justice. Thanks for looking. Hope everyone stays well.

Thanks for sharing those beauties Jay ::tu:: ::tu:: ... The 5th one down, Napanoch, with the long brass bolsters is rather interesting ::nod:: ...

Sweet old knife with great memories ::tu:: ::tu:: .. Nothing more valuable than that for many of us...

Well Roger I seem to have acquired a similar yearning to the knives that you post. ::mdm:: That Honk Falls jack is a beauty. Thanks for posting the pics.
