Lets show some Old and Rare ones.

[Kramersknife]

Ka-Bar Survival Knife Pretty hard to find .I need to find a correct sheath for it Patent dates August 31st 1926..Pat Canada 1923 Union Cutlery
Still has the compass in the cap. No other contents were included when I got it.

[Miller Bro's]

Nice one

I have an aluminum handle one but it is missing the cap

Got this one from Roger a while back. Lawton Cutlery Co. Goins says 1890-1895. Located in Chicago. They were importers and jobbers of cutlery. Possibly made by NYK Co. or Walden.

A beauty! Don't see a lot of American made knives with horn handles. O'.

True.
Pretty knife Mike, I think one of my Walden farmers jacks is horn. I'll look again.

[ObsidianEdge]

Thanks guys. Always up for seeing more of your farmer's jack collection!

Here is a 4" Providence, no, not that Providence. Even though it is stamped Austria, I am assuming that it is from the Providence Cutlery that Goins lists as a German firm. The 2 countries are neighbors, and the apparent age of the knife fits the timeframe. Perhaps, they had some knives produced in Austria..........

Here.....

Ike, no matter where it is from, that is a VERY
GD L👁👁KING piece of pocket cutlery.

This is the Walden. I took a couple pictures to try and capture the handles.

I Love yours.

[Ridgegrass]

My kind of knife ! O'.

[FRJ]

Thanks so much for the comments, guys.

I believe it's horn Mike, like John said, you don't see many early American manufacturers using horn. Likewise, I've never seen or heard of an American manufacturer using what we call pressed stag.

Nice old rare stamp in great condition Joe.

[1967redrider]

Gorgeous HOKs on this page, thanks for posting, gents.

[ObsidianEdge]

Wow, great looking knife Joe! I like that pattern. Any guesses as to which company made it for Lawton?

Lyle, Roger told me the same thing about horn being on early American knives.

[PA Knives]

Here is a couple old ones. Of course they are from PA. I’m not sure that any other state had cutlers. The first is a Hollingsworth Kane PA. I did a stirrup for Knife Magazine on the various companies of Kane. Next is the rarest CASE related company. Smithport Cutlery. Case brothers bought it and it burned down They had the name ground off the blades to stamp them Case Brothers. I only know of one other

Excellent David.
