Cornwall Knife Co. New York City
Cornwall Knife Co. New York City. 1900-1920. --- 3 7/16" closed.
A few searches find that this knife can be associated with Camillus.
It would not surprise me. This is a very well made knife. Quite solid in fact.
In fact I'll carry it today.
Thanks for looking.

Tipped bolsters, are the handles bone? Love that style of knife. I don't blame you for carrying it.
Re: Cornwall Knife Co. New York City
It's a good looking knife!

Re: Cornwall Knife Co. New York City
I’ve had a couple of Cornwall scout/utility knives that were well made. I think you may be correct about the Camillus connection.

Re: Cornwall Knife Co. New York City
Thanks guys.
Doglegg, the handles are some sort of synthetic.

Nice Joe ... There was also a Cornwall Knife in CT as well but I’ve never seen one with a CT stamp .. Wonder if they were related ...

Thanks Lee, that would be great to find a Cornwall, Ct. stamp.
Goin's says there were "many cutlery shops in Cornwall". You would think one would surface at some time.

Re: Cornwall Knife Co. New York City
Thank you, Royal.
It has seen some hard labor in the past.
A few little nicks in the blades that will sharpen out.

Re: Cornwall Knife Co. New York City
My younger son, who is forty now, selected this knife for purchase at a knife show in Chattanooga, I think, when he was nine or ten.
It is a Cornwall.
The master has a half stop, the other two do not.
All three blades have killer snap, opening and closing.
The knife was mint when bought, unfortunately, he had a Fightin’ Rooster four blade congress that outgassed and it affected this knife, as well.
I think the handles on this knife are still good.
The handles are what I call green onyx and the bolsters are of the tip variety.
I think the shield is held on by tabs, but they are not readily visible on this knife as on others I’ve seen.
I suppose this should be considered a junior cattle knife.

Great bunch of knives, michaelspayth. Thank you.
You can't have too many of these things.
Neat picture by the way.

Re: Cornwall Knife Co. New York City
That style of jigging and color of scale material always reminds me of blackberries for some reason, and I like it!
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Thanks! I've built up quite a collection of knives that have various types of green celluloid handles and that green Cornwall has been a part of that collection since the beginning.
Did Cornwall have any major affiliations or connections with any other knife company?
Re: Cornwall Knife Co. New York City
Looks like I have a Cornwall knife as well, one of the same models as in your photo. Mine is a little rough, but still bad if it is 100 years old.michaelspayth wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 4:23 pm Had thought that I had a Cornwall knife.

Re: Cornwall Knife Co. New York City
I thought I'd add another Cornwall to this thread before offering it for auction. This jack is stamped Cornwall Knife Co., N. Y. City. It appears to have never been used, sharpened or carried. It's in as found condition. The rust and oxidation appear to be from improper storage and lack of maintenance over the past one hundred years, rather than off gassing from the composition handles.
Re: Cornwall Knife Co. New York City
That's a fine looking knife, Lama.
