    Paul,

    I just started collecting knives. I search flea markets and yard sales. I found this one at a yard sale. Blade has Alfred Williams Sheffield England with a animal hoof (goat)? Is this novelty knife?

    Yeah Paul .. all the older stampings are becoming more & more difficult ..&.. when one does find them .. they're out of my budget.
    .
    You won't believe this .. I found a Catt 3W wrench knife ..in great shape.. in an antique store marked $15.oo .. I got them down to $12.50 .. they had no idea what they had. I pd my bill .. exited the store ..&.. did the "YES" dance.

    Cattaraugus 3-W

    I've about a dozen old Waterville .. some still in pretty decent shape. Never pd more than $20.oo for any of them.

    Waterville sleeveboard whittler jigged bone

    Waterville stamp - hyphenated

    Union Cut Co. .. precursor to Ka-Bar. Again .. they had no idea what they had.
    .
    Those deals just are not out there anymore.

    Nice collection of the Canal St. knives you have, Paul.. I have been able to gather a few of the Canals. 2 folders and a sheath knife.. They are really beautiful.. Such a shame that they went out of business..
