All About Pocket Knives

If you read our feedback on past sales, you will find out many of our buyers say the item they purchased from us was better than described, so keep that in mind when reading my honest descriptions. This is a VERY RARE, VINTAGE, CRANDALL CUTLERY CO. circa 1905-1912, 2 BLADE JACKKNIFE PATTERN, POCKET KNIFE MADE IN BRADFORD PA. USA. It is closed 3 5/8".The MASTER BLADES BLADE TANG IS stamped CRANDALL CUTLERY CO. BRADFORD ON THE FRONT TANG.The knife blades are snug and snap good and both have long nail pulls. The gorgeous handles are very different looking like a cross between real jigged bone and real stag, (not synthedic or plastic) have no chips and look to have a some real thin pin stress hairlines from age, a scratch but nothing loose or serious. (see pics for detail) , and brass pins and liners. This knife has a story, it was bought about 35 years ago by me off a old knife collector that was selling his lifetime collection at the famous Washington Courthouse gun and knife show in Ohio. After I bought it and another knife from him I took them to a friend of mine that was set up there selling, Clarence Risner who was at the time the head of the NATIONAL KNIFE COLLECTORS association and owner of GERMAN EYE BRAND KNIVES to get his opinion as far as originallity and he said it looks good all the way to him and was a nice find. Its been in my collection since. Mr. Crandall married one of Cases daughters then merged in to the Case Co. and dropped the Crandall name according to the knife history books. The blades are very full, looks like the original edge on both with some very fine steel wool lines from cleaning (not me) but could easily be buffed out. A important piece of USA knife history.
