Lets show some Old and Rare ones.

Fabyan Knife Co. According to Goins ,only made one year and 1889 at that!!. Their stamp on the blade is shown from a picture taken off the internet on another Fabyan knife. The remnants of that stamp survived somehow on mine and is shown in the third picture , despite it's usage.

A single year production! Talk about rare. 1889 the year of the big land rush in Oklahoma. Congrats on having that one and thanks for sharing.

Added a very nice and unusual Boker swell center or coke bottle jack to the pile. 3 7/8", great bone, etched, double rat tail bolster. looks to be 1899 to 1920's.

What a beautiful knife, John.
Very special, for sure.

It will fit right in with the rest of your fantastic collection.

Great show!

That is a real looker for sure

I have a more modern Boker (USA) with some similarities, but it doesn't hold a candle to that vintage beauty. Gorgeous piece

I've not posted a super-rare one in a while but I'm particularly proud of this CASE MFG Warren PA. This is my hometown too. I see a similar one posted on this site from a few years back. Well over 100 years old and made for only one year. I plan on doing a detailed article for Knife Magazine in the upcoming months I love the history of these knives, very fascinating

Very proud of this one

PA: That one is special! J.O'.

Pretty too.

Warren was the first town I travelled to when I began traveling in my work. I ate quite often at an excellent Italian restaurant with simple sauce that was delicious.

Here's one that might fit the bill, from my SAK collection, The OG !
Original 1st edition 100mm Swiss Soldier knife. Manufactured by Wester & Co, Solingen in 1890-91 (model 1890), first year production before Elsener took over in Switzerland. You can see the small scribed Swiss cross control stamp on the backside scale.

It was fun breaking it out again, it still has great SNAP!
