Wonderful looking knife only to be bettered by the guy you got it from…Doc Proctor is a fine man.gsmith7158 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 24, 2022 8:53 pm I'm certain that I've shown this before but it is one of the most elegant knives that I own so I shall show it again. It's a custom knife by Ken Erickson that I acquired from my friend Roland Proctor. A dog leg jack with elephant Ivory handles.

Not just the knives he owns or has owned he is also full of knowledge that the hobbyists normally does not know or would want to put in the time to understand all the small details of collecting that Roland has done.gsmith7158 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 24, 2022 9:03 pmRoland is the epitome of what the Knife community is all about!JamieinWV wrote: ↑Fri Jun 24, 2022 9:00 pmWonderful looking knife only to be bettered by the guy you got it from…Doc Proctor is a fine man.gsmith7158 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 24, 2022 8:53 pm I'm certain that I've shown this before but it is one of the most elegant knives that I own so I shall show it again.

If you are referring to Roland, aka, Kootenay Joe, he passed away (just so you don't think he's ignoring you). There are several active members here who may have been helping Roland's son with the liquidation of his massive knife collection, perhaps one of them either has the ivory Hepworth & Pilley or could put you in touch with his son who would likely be interested in selling it.
Don't blame ya bro, I would never sell it!QTCut5 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 06, 2023 4:20 am Been a while since I read this thread so I'm a bit late in complying with Ivoryman's request/wish/hope that I show the Ivory Cattaraugus Swell Center Jack that he gave me a few years ago. I don't have a lot of vintage knives so I have no idea as to the date (year) of manufacture, but this is one of my favorite ivories for several reasons - not the least of which because it was gifted to me by my very good friend and blade brother, Ivoryman. It's a sweet little knife and in near mint condition; so, sorry guys, but it's highly unlikely I'll ever sell it!
I will, however, gladly present it here for your viewing (and drooling) pleasure
Hi! I am just seeing this. I would love to get in touch with the sons in the longshot chance the knife is available. Thank you! How can we make that happen?QTCut5 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 06, 2023 4:03 amIf you are referring to Roland, aka, Kootenay Joe, he passed away (just so you don't think he's ignoring you).

Very cool knife, RR. Is that a fleam blade I see? I am assuming that knife is for veterinary use.1967redrider wrote: ↑Fri Aug 22, 2025 1:02 pm I just picked up my first Ivory handled knife, according to Voyles.
If the ivory is over 100 years old and you can prove the provenance then it is probably legal. The laws are kind of complex (to me) but the central point of all of them is keep folks from selling ivory.SwedgeHead wrote: ↑Fri Aug 22, 2025 4:08 pm Happy this thread got bubbled back up top, there are some beautiful knives in here. Can any of them actually be legally sold any longer? curious.
