Such an unusual and unique pattern. Great to see them. Your collection is a real winner. I am envious of your dedication to the farmers knife

Thanks for showing those beauties, Lyle, they are really special. Are those initials on the shield of that smooth bone?

Incidentally, I have a Challenge FJ with an etch "Schell's Quality Seeds Harrisburg, Pa". When I first saw your post, I initially thought that you were showing more Schell's knives before my brain corrected itself.

Keep your edge sharp, otherwise you just can't cut it.

Love that bone. Here is a relic, over 150 years old. Beaver Falls cutlery.

Mike your Beaver Falls collection is just awesome. I missed winning an auction years ago on a Beaver Falls short sword. Gosh, I wish I won that. Keep the PA Knives coming

I have a couple, a stag Walden made knife and I'm not real sure who made the other ( I had thought Utica, but it's not their bone ). Their were several prominent horticultural firms in Pa.

Please look at this knife that I just posted under Q&A...is it a tang mark from an odd PA knife company?

Check out this Allentown knife. It us in great condition. Also note the accompanying paperwork from 1898 with Fred Wolfertz's actual signature. I was once told “you really like knives” You bet I do. Particularly when you have supporting ephemera I showed you mine now show me yours LOL
