KJ, that is a knice find with all the parts intact! I sold one of those a while back for parts that was missing the guard and pommel, but still brought a good price. I had found it at a garage sale also. The handles on yours are in great shape too!
Thanks. Pays to ask “got any old huntin or pocket knives?” He dug out two boxes of stuff most of which was junk but there was an acorn for this blind hog. Got these too, needing some clean up.Corn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Sat Jun 28, 2025 9:26 amKJ, that is a knice find with all the parts intact!

Thanks. I’ll keep a close eye on themModern Slip Joints wrote: ↑Sat Jun 28, 2025 6:43 pm Unfortunately their pitting on the upper portions of their blades that are not inside their handles when closed is from their celluloid releasing corrosive gas. Since out gassing has begun do not store them with other items that can rust, especially not in closed spaces. Consider having them rehandled. Since they were made by Queen you might have to find some one other than Case to do that.
I should visit more flea markets.Thank you. But I made a mistake. After looking at it agian it’s not a gutmann. It says only C. Bertram Germany on it. Front side of blades has the hen & rooster logo with soligen underneath. Then back side says C.Bertram Any ideas on age of it ?Modern Slip Joints wrote: ↑Sun Jun 29, 2025 6:40 pm Great stag Hen & Rooster stockman!
The name sold, and the current owner added it to the Chinese manufacturers.Ridgegrass wrote: ↑Tue Jul 01, 2025 4:12 pm Sorry, my thought is, why call it a Robeson ? It ain't. J.O'.
J.O'.I don't like it either, J.O'. They (Pipes and Frost, mainly) have done the same with Miller Bro's, Cattaraugus and many others. I think Cooper now owns New York Knife Co and I would buy one of those.Ridgegrass wrote: ↑Wed Jul 02, 2025 1:51 am Red, As a collector of old, and antique knives, I'm just not a fan of modern knives using highly revered American brand names, I'm not judging the product, I don't know anything of their build or quality, and I understand the names have been sold but, like I said, "It ain't" a piece of American-crafted cutlery, made in Rochester. Using a name to sell a product doesn't make it anything different than what it really it is. It's not a new trick, Japanese and German companies did the same thing many years ago. It's just my opinion. People can collect what they like. I was just responding to your post.

Being able to distinguish between an original knife and a branded knife is going to be a handy skill in the future to collectorsHistorians: We capture and share the evolution of knives with the world by providing a bridge between collectors who might otherwise be isolated in their hobby through open discussions, opportunities to share photos and discussion of both complete collections and individual knives of particular interest.
