Sorry I don't have any pictures of this knife but it has piqued my curiosity.
While shopping at an antique mall today I ran across what looked like a Union Cutlery Co.toe knife.What was puzzling about it was it only had one blade and no evidence that there was ever another blade in the other end. My question is: Does anyone know if Union(or anyone else for that matter)ever make a one blade toe? Had nice jigged bone handles and a rectangular shield marked Union.Blade showed quite a bit of wear and had been polished. Guy was asking $80 firm and I didn't want to spend that much money on something that may not have been authentic. Any info?

Sleeveboard or equal-end?

It was an equal end Charlie.Except for the excessive sharpening and polishing on the blade the frame looked original. I didn't see any evidence of the knife ever having been apart.A real puzzler.I'm going to make another trip down to the store and take some photographs of it.RobesonsRme.com wrote:Sleeveboard or equal-end?

Re: Union Cutlery Q.....
There has been some posts recently regarding "Union" marked shields on folders and a fixed blade tang with the "Union" stamp. IIRCC the marks didn't relate to Union Cutlery Co. May want to check 1 or 2 pages on the Kabar page.
