York Cutlery Co. - Solingen - York Dutch Barlow
Posted: Sun Oct 08, 2017 6:03 pm
This is a bone-handled York-Dutch Barlow from York Cutlery, a U.S. firm that imported knives from Solingen, Germany. Strong open and close snap on both blades, half stops, no blade wobble, brass pins, and brass liners. Used and sharpened but no pin cracks and very little blade discoloration.
Master blade has "York Cutlery" on mark side and "Solingen Germany" on pile side. Goins has nothing to say about the company other than listing the tang stamp. AAPK and BF have a few postings about York Dutch knives but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of definitive information. If interested in this one read the back story below.
I am selling about 100 knives from my collection. These are not expensive knives and some have flaws but they might be of interest either for your collection, to resell, or to pass on to a youngster or budding collector. I'm going to try something a little different.
1) All knives are MAKE AN OFFER. Any offer is welcome; I won't be offended by lowballs. There is a York Dutch Barlow for sale in the AAPK store which might provide some guidance.
2) If I think it's too low I'll decline and I'll add a post saying, for example, "I turned down $5." If no one else makes an offer I'll know I should have taken the $5!
3) If it sells I'll post the sale price.
4) Shipping in the CONUS is $3.
5) Any knife can be returned for a refund.
Cash, check, PayPal (F&F). Offers by email preferred ([email protected]) but PM is OK.
