That's a nice little knife. I have one that is quite similar to yours. I think yours is in better condition.
I'll dig mine out tomorrow. What is the length of yours?

[Corso]

Its a shade under 3" closed - I've been after a sheffield boys knife to compliment my GEC #14 for quite some time

I'd like a couple more - another of these in wood or buffalo with the third being the same but 3.25"

but honestly i'm hoovering up any Rodgers knives i can find at the moment

[FRJ]

Thank you, Corso.
Here's mine. 2 13/16" closed.

[danno50]

I like that one Joe! Are the handles celluloid?
I have this one, 3 5/8" closed. Handles are horn.

[galvanic1882]

Great Rodgers knives guys, they made a great knife!

[FRJ]

3 5/8"! ... That's really nice Dan. The horn is special and two blades in beautiful condition.

The handles on mine are white smooth bone. Thanks Dan.

[Corso]

I'd love to see more Rodgers knives

I was surprise there wasn't a dedicated thread

maybe we should start one?

[Corso]

Thank you, Corso.
Here's mine. 2 13/16" closed.

looks great, same sort of size as mine but with a bit of a curve to the handle - scales look alot more round too

I would have to use that one all the time

This isn't a Roger's but it is Sheffield. It's stamped Cambridge Works, Sheffield. I can't find much information that fits this knife so I hope it's actually what the tang says. It sure has some nice looking horn. It has been repined sometime before I got it but appears to be otherwise original.____Dave

Yesterday I added this schrade cut barehead to my collection. Great bones on it.

[doglegg]

Paul that is a very desirable old knife. Blade not sharpened away and bone really lovely. I am proud for you that you have it.

[LongBlade]

Stunner Paul ... Bone is sweet and blades look to be in great condition with a nice patina!! What is the closed length? I’m thinking a classic boys knife if 3 1/2” or less ...

[JohnR]

Love that one Paul, shows it's age very well.

[Ivoryman]

Insane beautiful KSlinger. Did good. How old?

[KnifeSlinger#81]

Thank you all.

Lee it measures 3 3/8".

Ivoryman, I'd guess it is probably from the 1920's or 1930's due to the bone, give or take a few years. It's pretty safe to say it's a pre war knife.

[Ivoryman]

Thanks, cool piece, great bones.

Very nice Jack.

[KnifeSlinger#81]

Thank you Charlie and Ivoryman.

Another barehead is this schrade cut boys knife with original chain. I am very grateful to have this fine old example in my collection.

[doglegg]

Good looker Paul. I can imagine a young fellow hooking that clip over the button on his bib overalls.

[peanut740]

Paul

[LongBlade]

A very fine example indeed Paul - ...

[JohnR]

Another great knife Paul, you don't find to many with their original chain, really nice find.

[RobesonsRme.com]

Are those initials etched into the blade?

It's a great Boy's Knife.

One could build quite a nice collection of those, from many quality makers, as well as some rather inexpensive ones.

Oh wait, I think someone's already done that.
