1).Washington Cutlery Co, "VILLAGE BLACKSMITH" #711,(14" overall 1898-1940). Bought it for 25 cents at a church sale. Very high quality razor sharp.
2).GEORGE COWAN, Sheffield, (1800's)?. Original stag handle re-purposed for a custom hunting knife. Blade reground to thinner profile for filleting whatever we catch in the Atlantic. It'll flex 45 degrees for filleting. Homemade handle. ("Squid Lips" is our boat's name.) J.O'.

Nice knives and I love the boat name!
A very good friend of mine who goes by the name,"Captain Guido" and runs a DUK Tour vehicle out of Boston has a great name for his boat: the, "SEA CILIAN"

K7K: Thanks, Boats and bands are hard to name. There was one here in Ocean City called "The Job Site". He never lied when he answered the phone!
My son did the graphics. J.O'.

If you mean the Army DUK that went down in Missouri, the one in Saugatuck, Mi. is all done. I don't recall if the Feds stopped them or just liability wise. They made them were I used to live.

No;this one is run in Boston Massachusetts.I believe it is only run in the Charles River which divides the city of Boston and the city of Cambridge.As far as I know they are still in business.

Love the squid! Your son is very good! One of the best I've ever seen and it took awhile to de-code it. "THISLEDU"

Found this one today at a friend's re-sale shop for two bucks. Etched,"KAI-CUT Edges ahead R92-14. I'm assuming it is Kai Cutlery(a Kershaw brand)and the blade is indeed 14 inches long! A little cleaning and a run across my Carborundum Duo-Stone and it's ready to cut(trees maybe?)

After 2 years of daily use, I just Simichromed the blade to highlight the clayless hamon, ABS Master Smith Jon Christensen, Don Hanson III W2 steel, 4500 year old bog oak handles with toxic green liners

I prefer Japanese steel knives. It is the most resistant to wear and tear. Of course, if the knife is not a fake. I liked the Yoshihiro brand the most. The knives are not cheap, but the quality is super. I sharpen it about once a year, and then I just straighten the edge. Here are the characteristics of one of the knives of the Yoshihiro company, for review.

If you prefer them, you must own some? Post some pics and show us how they are the most resistant to wear and tear!

Wow! That is Beautiful! A have the standard Messermeister and Wüsthof Knives and they a pretty good knives but that blade is a work of art!!!

I debated this ole timer for $2, but got it. Bunch of small dents on the edge, in the middle. I ground the whole edge down and put a decent one back after a good scrub with cleanser. Its a LFC, hard to see

$2? .... I wish I was finding oldies like that one for $2

We have room here in the Ct urban centers

Messermeister Chef's Knife.

Another Messermeister.

I haven't bought it yet, but I'm thinking about buying a Damascus steel knife. Such knives look unrealistically cool and stylish. Here you can see examples and description. I wanted to ask if anyone has any experience with such knives? On them, the edge seems to be unkillable, with careful handling it will be enough for years.

As I was going to have the oil changed and the a/c fixed in my wife's car this morning,I spied a couple of yard sales next to each other. Stopped and although they didn't have any pocket knives they did have a few kitchen knives.
These two ceramic blade knives by Yoshi were a whole 50 cents apiece and looked to have never been used so I bought them.Don't know how they will work out but the last ceramic knife I bought I still use for my everyday eating knife and I like it a lot.

Good taste!!!

I’ve had these old kitchen knives a long time. I have started cleaning them up carefully. Now I have to decide what to do with them. I’m really not much of a kitchen knife guy but some of these are cool.
