Re: Knives from PA
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

Re: Knives from PA
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.

Nice ones, Lyle. You know I'm still on the lookout for you. 
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

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.
An uncontrolled accumulator.

Re: Knives from PA
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

Re: Knives from PA
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.RobesonsRme.com wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2010 3:31 am Just enterloping here. Great thread.

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

Re: Knives from PA
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
