UTICA !!!

[JohnR]

I usually don't buy celluloid knives but this unused Utica really appealed to me. Early curved tang stamp with its etch. Some corrosion but I think its from age and not off gassing.

Wow she is a beauty, Utica used some get celluloid handles. My favorite etch! Good pickup

Those are some very nice knives you are showing, John.

Jody, that is fine looking erasure. The handle looks like Ebony.

Here is a 3 1/2" jack that I got recently. Very strong knife with two half stops.
Thanks for looking.

Here is an Easy Open I just picked up. Too bad about the crack - mark side handle.

[Miller Bro's]

Good find, it's clean

Here's a Utica that Mike (Galvanic) was kind enough to sell me. it's from the Utica factory board display. Stamps on both sides of all of the blades. About 1910-1912. Right after I got it I was cleaning off some shelves and found a Knife World article on Utica that had pictures of Mike's knives and some great history. I have new appreciation for vintage Uticas now. Thanks Mike!

That is a real beauty Mike,there is nothing not to like about it!!

[ObsidianEdge]

Thanks. Galvanic has great taste in knives!

Mike, the MOP Utica is an elegant knife in awesome condition. I like how the knife is thin, but the blade stock on the main blade is thick.

Mike, A fine example of a super pattern. This knife just went from one great collection to another. Museum quality stuff. Thanks for posting. Barry

[ObsidianEdge]

Thanks Ralph! I didn't really notice that but you are right. It does have a nice big swedge on the main blade pile side to get past the pen blade.

Wow, thank you so much Barry! You have a very impressive collection yourself.

[Dinadan]

That whittler is a beauty, Mike. Very fine MOP and a pattern that I really like.

[RobesonsRme.com]

Beautiful knife.

That’s a real stunner of a whittler Mike ..

[ObsidianEdge]

Thanks Charlie and Lee. I feel a responsibility to keep it in the same great shape as Mike did.

Nice one Jim. Utica bone is a hard study, you’ve got a great example, I don’t worry about that crack.

Mike you got a dandy, the early Utica stamp, and a real beauty.
