Re: Humason & Beckley Mfg. Co
Thanks Tom. The jack knife is obviously heavily cleaned bit the whaler knife looks to have very minimal use. They came in a group of Remington knives i bought. Been fun reading threw this thread about these knives.
Re: Humason & Beckley Mfg. Co

Beautiful old knives guys! I lucked into this H&B 3 3/4" jack the other day. Pretty decent shape considering the age, I'm not sure what the handle material is, maybe horn? If it's wood I have no idea what type.

Re: Humason & Beckley Mfg. Co
Ken, Lee, thank you for the comments. This is the first H&B I've been able to find, based on this example they seem to be very high quality knives.
Re: Humason & Beckley Mfg. Co
Very nice knife, John. I like the bar shield and the matchstrike long pulls. Nice looking handle material, whatever it is. I personally think wood, however, if someone with your experience is unsure I think my 2 cents worth is worth just about that.

Re: Humason & Beckley Mfg. Co
I have a question about these "Bar Shields".
To ME they actually look like a match strike, yet the long zig-zag type nail nicks are referred to as "match strikes"
Is there a reason that so many old knives all share these "bar shields, and they are not used for or called a match strike?
Beyond that I have to say that those scales look like beautifully clean/clear buffalo horn. Great knife!

Re: Humason & Beckley Mfg. Co
The bar shields I have seen are smooth polished nickel silver - would be difficult to strike a match on them. As for the so called "match striker pulls", I don't believe those were intended for use as match strikers either. That's just what they're usually called. I'm sure any folks that disagree with me will be posting soon!americanedgetech wrote:I have a question about these "Bar Shields".

Re: Humason & Beckley Mfg. Co
After reading Ken's comment I took a closer look at the cover and changed my mind. When magnified, they definitely appear to be horn.

Re: Humason & Beckley Mfg. Co
Thanks Dan, I am now convinced it's horn and it does show some similarities to the horn on the whaler that Keith posted on the previous page.
