Rodgers and Sons
Re: Rodgers and Sons
Gnarly stag and quite an array of tools. A very interesting knife. Congrats.
Re: Rodgers and Sons
Nice horseman's knife Mike ... Stag is that old classic style, and for a horseman's knife which are rarely in good condition and used hard that one looks pretty good ... I'm assuming no England on the stamp?

Great knife, Mike, nice find! Good to find one with the tweezers and toothpick still there.

Re: Rodgers and Sons
Couple of better pics of the Horseman's knife plus 2 others I just got.
The hawk has flush jointed which is really cool.
The 6 bladed knife has nail pulls on both sides that go through the tang except for the nail file blade. No England on this one.

Great group Mike ... That double gunstock 6 blade senator pen is AWESOME - I have an old IXL gunstock pen - rare and unusual (and posted before though need new pics) but have never seen a 6 bladed version !!!!... and the box ...galvanic1882 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 2:00 pm Couple of better pics of the Horseman's knife plus 2 others I just got.

Re: Rodgers and Sons
Thanks Lee I was very lucky I could make a deal on the 6 bladed knife. You are like me wanting boxes for our knives!

Re: Rodgers and Sons
Mike, what a score, on all 3, exceptional. I am jealous. I want great old knives like these too.
The Horseman's is in very good condition. About 90% of the ones i see have at least one broken off blade and remaining blade(s) have been badly sharpened down. Yours is still fully 'intact'. Makes it a bit rare.
Interesting Hawkbill. Never seen one with a square & flush joint before. Usually a Hawkbill has a tang that protrudes quite high when blade is closed, so quite a 'pocket ripper'. J.R. solved that with this Hawkbill.
And your pearl 6 blade, "Her Majesty" i think, 'double gunstock' (not official name) is so special i cannot find the words for it; 6 blade, world's finest maker at their peak, perfect condition, finest of workmanship ever, and original box ?
I wish i knew your sources.
Thank you for showing these very special knives.

Re: Rodgers and Sons
Thanks much Roland I forgot to post the worked backs of the blades.
Re: Rodgers and Sons
And the blade spines have filework ... Not sure if I want to know if the liners are milled .... One thing I also noticed are the long pulls through the tang which I quite like just for aesthetics and supposedly a show of workmanship according to the Sheffield Exhibition book ...galvanic1882 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 4:25 pm Thanks much Roland I forgot to post the worked backs of the blades.

Re: Rodgers and Sons
The backs of the springs are not worked but if you look inside the blade well they are. Hard to get a picture of it.LongBlade wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 7:58 pmAnd the blade spines have filework ...

Re: Rodgers and Sons
Here is my latest pickup. Love the stag on this one and the bolsters are top notch.
Re: Rodgers and Sons
Sure can't argue with you on that, Mike! That is a knife that you just want to pick up and rub your fingers over it.galvanic1882 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 1:06 pm Here is my latest pickup. Love the stag on this one and the bolsters are top notch.

Re: Rodgers and Sons
Beautiful knife, Mike. As you said, great stag and bolsters. Looks to be very little, if any, blade loss as well.
