Knives & Boxes

Mike, a couple of questions about the Walden knife. What does the tang stamp read? I can't make it out. Also, were Barney and Berry a hardware company who was reselling Walden knives?

Dan it’s marked Walden Knife Co, I think Barney & Berry sold Walden knives. They had ties to Winchester too!

Thanks Mike. It just appeared to me that there were three fairly full lines in the tang stamp.

Yes Walden NY

Thanks, I probably should have been able to figure that out myself.

Here's a couple more. This is the earliest Cattaraugus box that I have seen. Very similar to my JBF Champlin box. The carved pearl knife does not have Little Valley NY marked on it. One of the older ones. I think it is a older knife pouch also, the knife came in the pouch.

The pearl Electric is marked on both sides of all 4 blades, box is another one I found.

Two more great knives and boxes! Very neat shaped clip blade on the Electric.

Sweet Mike - that carved MOP knife is stunning ...

Finally got some energy so took some photos of this H&B knives and box combo. I included a few of my different H&B pens as the box seemed to be about that size when placing in the knives based on their length and width (seemed small for my H&B Jacks).. I have other H&B knives but couldn't include them all ... Note the box is considered a button display box - the lid would reverse itself and knives were displayed for sale. I get a kick out of the H&B on button. I also found the label interesting (though not illustrative like others) but check out the warranty for any defective knives to be replaced/repaired but the warranty implicitly stated it would not include those knives worn out or damaged by hard use ... Guess even prior to 1912 (the year H&B became part of LF&C) folks were trying to pull fast ones to replace their knives ....

Here are 2 more, the Utica is 3" closed and a beefy little guy. The Electric Gunstock I bought on ebay when it first started picked up the box years later.

Very nice,all.

Speaking of knife boxes, has anyone here ever seen a Terrier Cutlery Co box?

I’d be willing to pay up for such.
