All Metal Handle Knives

[smiling-knife]

There are a bunch of great knives in this thread!

Smiling-Knife,

I like those little Peres knives. Mine is a "Greetings from Washington". I also thought I would add "The Burbank", which is a Wostenholm.

Thanks. Great knives knifegirl. Just a little info on Luther Burbank. He was a famous American horticulturalist who lived 1849-1926. He was best known for developing new hybrid plants, especially fruits and flowers. I think your knife is from the 1950s-60s. Here it is in a catalogue. I hope this is of interest.

Thanks so much! I didn't know why it was a "Burbank" knife. That's great information!

While not as big as the "Mercator, Black Cat" this Mercator is a heck of a simple but very strongly made knife. It also takes and keeps a very good edge. I dig it out and carry it every once in awhile. Dale

That is a sturdy looking knife

[9ball]

It is! Locks up tight both ways and even has a half stop. Kind of reminds of this Leek I been using in a way.
I meant to look up the time frame also, but had it on my machine and I am in one of those ADD moods. Just all over the place.......

About bedtime.......big day tomorrow. Have a good one.

HI MB. I like that knife . Who was the maker please? Does it say Encore on the scale? If so, i've answered my own question. Thanks. s-k

[Miller Bro's]

Thanks Steve


It`s a Thomas Turner & Co. as you suspected

[smiling-knife]

Thanks MB . This is similar... WWI Canadian military issue 1915 also made by Thomas Turner. s-k

[Miller Bro's]

Very nice

Anyway of dating the one I have? It does not have a date stamped into it like yours.

I believe they went out of business by 1953

[smiling-knife]

I believe your knife was made circa 1920s-30s. The pattern is pre WWII. s-k
