I purchased a Wade & Butcher, clearly marked reproduction, lg cigar whittler from Jim Parker yrs ago. Don't know who he had do them for him ... they did a good job ... nice fit-n-finsh ... nice stag ... good quality ... don't know how accurate a reproduction ...<br />

But ... the chase wasn't there. There was no '"rush" as when I'd found a real Wade & Butcher.<br />

I feel that you can not remake the originals they are in a class of there own!! I collect some remakes in Winchesters made in the 90s for Blue Grass ,along with the Remington Arms, But its hard to find old<br />
original mint knives, but these do have there place in all the collector books.

Maybe too it was made by aliens :) So if I got dig this knife out, what resources are available to determine if it was made on contract or not? Or how do we know the single pull wasn't the contract knife. In other words, we can speculate all we want, but how we gonna know.

Scott,it`s a good looking knife,but...it has double pulls,so it doesn`t mirror the originals,they only had a single nail nick pull.At least all of the old ones I`ve seen.

At the risk of talking Elephant Toenails here, talked to the folks at Ka-Bar at the Blade Show. Nice guys! They showed me their current production toenail produced from their Union Cut (Razor) toenail. They had Canal Street make the knife. They attest to it being made to mirror their co's old one. It looked good. They didn't have any for sale then, so I ordered #26 from them should come in soon. AG Russell bought #01- 25 and they are for sale in his catalog now.<br />

Lots of people collect and enjoy comtemporary American and foreign made knives. I have no problem with those collectors.<br />
I do, however, and as evidenced by my previous post, have a problem with a company or a group of companies, taking the name of a dead, but once fantastic manufacturer of pocketknives and bastardizing that name for profit by creating contrived collectibles.

Great Robeson toenails Scott! They look like a perfectly matched pair. I only have the two backspring version, but it's an old salesman's sample with inked numbers on the back of the master. I do not think anyone else made a two spring toenail, but you'd know that better than I.<br />
