You like those close to home.
Great shape. I don’t remember seeing an H&B in person.

[LongBlade]

Thanks Lyle ... Yes close to home .. I think there is an expression: “Close to home is close to the heart” ...

Just found this one last weekend.

[Duffer]

Thought it time to bring this thread out of hibernation. Just finished going back and reviewing this thread from page 1. There are some just outstanding examples posted and worth seeing again for sure

Here is a recently acquired H & B (New Britain CT 1852-1916) slight swell center ballon pattern Whittler. It is 3 & 3/4 inches closed with stag handles. Has a saber ground clip primary blade. Very stout clip blade 3/16 inches at tang. Extremely well made with great fit and function.

Lloyd, that is a prize. Great shape and a beautiful knife.

[galvanic1882]

That's a sweet knife!

[BWT]

Wow Lloyd that’s a good looking knife, great find

[doglegg]

I've already bragged on this knife once but it deserves a 2nd WOW. An awesome swell center. And oh those beautiful handles!!!. To me, that would be the center piece of a collection. Absolutely amazing knife.

A striking beauty!
Can't improve on that one, Lloyd.

That's a beaut, Lloyd! I like that master blade!

[Waukonda]

Another great one, Lord Duffer! You must have one magnificent collection, plenty to look at when you wanna stay inside in the a/c on those 118 degree days.

Because of shields mostly, the pile side of old stag knives usually have the prize winning stag. No exception here. Congratulations Lloyd.

[LongBlade]

Awesome Lloyd ... Congrats - Nice score

Well this one has nothing on Lloyd's great example... but it is my one & only H&B and it is a whittler...
