Nice scribes . This is another example of a Wostenholm that I hope is of interest.

Agreed Jan, I like the IXL too for the pocket-ability and the stag. You just can't beat a good old stag handle. What research I have had time to do, it looks like nobody has made any timber scribes for 50+ years. If true that would make fine quality and little used examples even more rare. 

Steve - I posted the Hammer Brand just below the IXL. It has the great handle that shows the grain really well. Be hard to find a much better example.

The timber scribe is one heck of a knife.  The pattern is just fascinating to me. These tools were used to mark numbers and symbols onto standing & also felled timber.  The reason there are not seen so much anymore is that they were used!  BTW, I think I like the IXL better actually, it could easily fit into a side sheath where the Hammer Brand would be hard to sheath

Just recently acquired a collection and may post a few here that are vintage. There are Schrade Cut. Co., Schrade - Walden, Hammer Brand (NY Knife Co.) Walden Knife Co. Wallkill River Cutlery, and others. 

Below is a nice Hammer Brand Timber Scribe that was in the collection. Wonder how many of you are familiar with these unusual knives.

Any other vintage collectors of Parkers, American Blade, Taylor, United Boker, Frost, or STAR collectors out there?

Those ivory handled knives are surely special and very much admired! Let's hope the USFWS ruling on ivory can be overturned. Poaching is stopped by conservation funds spent in the area where ivory grows. Hunting permits fund the game wardens that chase the poachers, so I read. There is a lot of ivory in the states that is currently regulated, by authorization from the white house to the USFWS, including importing other hunting trophies taken in foreign lands.
