Knives & Boxes
Re: Knives & Boxes
Very nice Charlie and QCut ...
QCut - your efforts to save boxes from more modern knives is great - in the future boxes may not be as hard to find for future collectors ...

Re: Knives & Boxes
Yes I second that great knives and boxes.
Re: Knives & Boxes
I think the vintage boxes are much more interesting than the newer boxes; IMO, they have more character.
But, that's not to say all newer boxes are totally uninteresting. Here are a few more from my collection that will probably earn some character over time (although I'm sure it will be long after I'm gone...like in 50 - 60 years).
The box for this Mammoth Ivory Lone Wolf Loveless City Knife is interesting because of the ID label with a picture of the exact knife on it...right down to the scrimshaw detail.

Re: Knives & Boxes
Here is an R1253 bullet knife with the original box. The box is much harder to find than the knife. The knife has gone on to a new owner but I still have the box. It is the only Bullet knife box I've ever seen.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: Knives & Boxes
Here's another of mine - Osgood Bray & Co from Boston... (Here's the link to my original post regarding Osgood Bray & Co (viewtopic.php?f=35&t=46309&hilit=osgood ... 6amp%3B+co for more detail)... In short the knives were most likely made by Burkinshaw in Pepperell MA - an equal end jack - very solid with worm groove bone and a 2 blade MOP pen knife... Again though I have done it before I would like to thank my good buddy Joe who gifted me the box a few years ago ... I think this photo works ok and forgot I did this 4 or 5 months ago - it is sort of tricky to get the box and knives together in the photo and do them justice...
