I like unique cutlery stamps .. 'n as a result ..just never concentrated on a specific pattern .. so have a variety instead !!!

Here's an odd none .. the Catt 3-W

These little barrel knives are cool.

Ivars

Ivars .. here's one for you .. they average about  3" in length

.. a pedicure instrument !!!

These are similar .. the desciminating feature between these & a corn razor are a stop @ 180 degrees

.. and many lock in the open position ..

... a scalpel or two ..

Here's a quill knife ..

Dale,

Those are some nice peices.  I like the different patterns also

The blade Pattern that started me collecting was the wharncliff.  The Case Classic 55 patterns with the wharncliff blades secured me as "hooked".  It is said the blade pattern was developed by Lord Wharncliff...Lord Wharncliffe thought up the concept from the want of

"..a knife that is more for cutting, than poking.."

This novel concept later developed in the Americas, with "hawkbill" &  "sheepsfoot" blade configurations

or so they say....

 

Howdy Ivars,  Make it 11 now.

I'm with Jan.  I started "Collecting" with the CASE Seahorse.  Up till then I just accumulated...

@Jan - I'm with you -- the Wharncliffe is prob my single favorite blade shape. And, we're not alone, there are apparently a large group of knife user that consider the W/cliffe the most useful profile. It's just that so many people think the clip shape is sexy ...and everyone wants to, at least, pretend that they might just have to skin a big buck later on in the day.

@Ivars -- That IS a tasty little four-blader. I've always been partial to miniatures. And, truth be told, most of the time the blade of our knives are way longer than they need to be. How often do find yourself choking down on the blade -- actually wrapping your forefinger and thumb on the ricasso for better control.

Happy Father's Day!

Yesterday I decided my life wasn't complicated enough and that, besides riggers, I should also collect "horeseman's knives" (maybe I'll define that as anything with a "hoof pick" ??).

My wife and I don't do horses but doe have a flock of sheep whose feet require attention several times a year so I already own a few "hoof pick" folders.

This is a multi-blade knife I bought new last year on from The Original Horse Tack Company via Amazon.com. (the comapny(?) name Happy Tack is also mentioned.

There are no identifying stamps on this knife whatsoever. If anyone knows anything about it I'd appreciate you sharing!

But my real reason for posting here is that I'm wondering what to call this pattern: just multi-blade? it's not really a Multi-Tool (makes me think of the
all pliers-based" Leatherman type thingies).

I;m relativeky new to knives -- pattern names have been confusing -- lots of patterns have more than one knife: e.g. jack, rope knife, rope jack, etc. etc.

Any guidance from those wiser and more experienced than my own self will be very welcome!
