Rodgers and Sons
Re: Rodgers and Sons
I was too
its a straight out the box #14 so I think it will improve with a bit of work
The Rodgers has an almost convex edge to it that just seems to work - I only stropped it when I got it and it was shaving hair
The GEC with a light strop didn't shave hair out the box - with a bit of work it will. Then the real tests can start
The GEC does beat the Rodgers for confort of use but thats only because the scales are a little thicker - not that I would but if the Rodgers had new scales I don't think it would ever leave my side

Re: Rodgers and Sons
Thanks guys. It's got a pin crack but otherwise pretty good. Took a steady hand to grind those blades!

Re: Rodgers and Sons
Wake this thread up, added a very nice Rodgers stag pen knife, I would say little to no use, 3 1/4", does have one crack in stag that is tight and hard to see. Marked Cutlers To His Majesty and #6 Norfolk St, so I think it is pre WW2.

Re: Rodgers and Sons
No problem Mike, did not expect to get it for my high bid but had to try, figured a knowledgable collector would know how rare and desirable it was, congratulations on acquiring such a great rare knife!galvanic1882 wrote:Sorry John, had a crazy high price on this one.
