Thanks, tc3500. I hope you'll post a pic of your tiny toothpick collection once you get 'em all in that display case. I'm sure it'll look awesome!

Definitely will post a pic, prolly even throw in the medium Toothpick that I
got from you !! (I thought it was a Tiny Toothpick we were dealing on until I opened the pkg
from ya) - Very nice surprise that was. Thanks agiain for it.

Snaged this one last night while searching for haller hammers!

Nice grabs Paul!

Aside from large knives wearing stag this is my favorite sort of knife. A hand forged Ibberson that is nearly mint aside from some spiders. The scales are Ivory and it advertises: C. Clode &Sons. Ltd, Shipping Butchers, Cardiff. There is the number 92 stamped on the liner. Pile side of the main blade is stamped Made in England Sheffield in a circular pattern and the pile side of the small blade is stamped Hand Forged.

IH, Would that be considered a office knife??

I don't know what the name for this pattern over here is but most companies seem to have been making it. The advertisements I have just call it a pocket knife.

I would think Office or Pen knife...

Thats what I thought. It looks like the old office knives.

Here is today's great find. Unfortunately these were at the second boot sale of the day and the guy had already sold some as singles. The box on the right is a full box of twelve and the other box with the damaged top has five. Aside from the open one in the picture they are all in the original plastic wrapper (covered in oil) inside the little cardboard boxes. The tangs are stamped H. Fisher, Sheffield and they are all advertising the same company. (I'm assuming this part since I don't want to open any more since the cardboard is brittle.)

That is a really nice find!

Iorn Hoarder: You used the term "pile side". I am not familiar with this. Would you explain please. Thanks.

Each side of a knife has a name ....side with the shield and usually the tang stamp is called the mark side ...the opposite side is called the pile side.

Iron Hoarder....do you plan on keeping all those?.........Hint,Hint..

Here are the ones we found yesterday.

looks like everyone had a good week....must be nice to come home with two boxes of knives
