Found these two items this week: First is an L.F.&C. Universal grapefruit knife with French ivory handle. Cost:$1.67.
Second is a set of three custom made kitchen knives in a box. I believe they are custom made as there is no evidence of a tang stamp and the edges are convex ground. Don't believe I have ever see kitchen knives with a convex edge before.Unusually shaped wooden handles(solid;not laminated)that feel pretty comfortable;at least to my wife who appropriated them for kitchen duty. Oh yes;the price:$2.50. From the same person I just got a WWII era Robeson Shuredge Mk2 for $10.
