All About Pocket Knives

JKB, how do you keep that knife from falling out of that photo?

Charlie

Very interesting knives posted by all. I agree with Longblade about that Henry Sears harness jack. It is a very appealing knife on every level.

Trying to take pictures with my iPads is pretty sad. Just thought one of my Jack Knife Bens needed to get some fresh air.

A pair of John Primble's with interesting etch's. Any idea of the time frame these may have been made ?

Bob

Can you show the tang stamps?

Charlie Noyes

Very light stamps, a test of ones photo skills.

Click on pic's they will enlarge.

Very nice examples.
The "Uncle Sam" with that etch was offered in the 1930s and 1940s, and with a different etch after WWII. Enclosed is a pre WWII catalog cut of that model. The other model is not shown in any 1930s, 1940s, or 1950s catalogs and was either a non listed model or possibly an earlier knife.

The top one appears to be Schrade made, probably in the 50's.The other is older.Both are very nice.Love the Uncle Sam etch.

And Boker was the maker on the "Uncle Sam".

Thank you guy's, I thought one could be a Schrade but no idea the other is by Boker....that makes me happy...

Mason, I like that add pic, looks like mine but I see the etch is a bit different.

Bob

Goins dates the stamp 1940 - 1968, but others have already narrowed that down further for you.

Charlie Noyes

Here is a fairly uncommon "Schrade Cut." spring fired model with a nice etch.

Oh, now that's nice.

Charlie Noyes

Thank you Charlie, my Goins' is out on loan.

Mason, That is very nice indeed...

Bob

Mason, I would say so.

That's a beautiful knife, Mason. Very, very nice.

Mason, your Schrade hunting knife hits all the marks for a fine vintage knife: etch, swedge, handles, and then some with being an auto.

Thanks all, and I've sure enjoyed seeing so many fantastic knives and etches within this thread.

Mason, great knife!!!!

Since when did common become so extraordinary.BEAUTY...

I too want to congratulate you on your fantastic knife Mason! That one is Wonderful!

Another cool thread I haven't seen before. Here's an old New York Knife Co Cattle Knife.
