I get so many complements on this knife, and it's not even mine.  I wish I could afford knives like this.  At least I can collect photos of them to share with my friends.

great knife.. and i collect KNIFE PORN myself. if i cant afford to collect the knife.i collect the pics as well. i have been doing it since i have collected knives.not only just to stare at...but some are very obscure advertisement  knives that have handles that are gassing such as celluloid....the handles will need to come off to save the knife so ill grab a pic of the ad why knife is still whole. also the saying a picture is worth a 1000 words is true with knives{most of the time}...especially vintage that have not been studied much or have much of a recorded history.

ill take 10 pics just to say.."hey this did exist" ..this company did make cutlery... thats why i collect letterheads and boxes and everything knife.you never know when its gonna come in handy...or when that fella is goa have that question that you have the answer to because you took the time 5 years prior to save the information you learned along with pics! ...cutlery is my only real daily history lesson so i like to store what i learn so i can go back to it so when i do buy knives i can make informed choices..not guesses.

with the knife shown above...with how many serrated blades it has...and with the difference in coloring of the steels...and where patina is and where its not...thats already enough questions...and for how "mint/cleaned" it is... and please someone speak up... do horsie knives normally have a pruner blade? and with alredy having the hoof pick blade...is the button hook blade for giant riding gloves?? also welding that cork blade on knives like this have been found out a lot of times to have been welded right where the "spiral" meets the straight piece.

if you have more pics would love em for a guessing game??   thanx for the fun!

yes...for sure! lol..i just called it a copeing saw...cause that is what im used to that saw looking like, or a bow saw..either or,..i figured it might be used for trimming the hoof..butit could be used for spurs, but, i myself wouldnt see the need foe the supported saw for tgat..the regular saw would work fine! i hadnever seen that type of saw in this configuration..alot of nice workmanship there!!! nice

Ivarsday... I agree... I have seen many varies knives are not great shape nor poor conditions. Myself have been search in eBay very careful. I easily spotted good or excellent conditions very careful knives in any eBay or other auction or Flea Market there. Like What I did bid those 1970 stag "Jack" Stockman is very very very good condition in few days ago.

THIS incredible condition knife is so rare. I never see this like this before

I may be wrong, but I think the "coping saw" is actually a cock-spur blade used for the removal of spurs from the feet of roosters.  In the case of fighting cocks, for the purpose of attaching razor sharp steel spurs in their place.  If anyone out there knows I'm all wet, please let me know.  I'm not from a farming, or ranching background, and this is just something I read somewhere.  However, after a 30 year career in construction, much of which was spent putting trim-work in houses, I am an authority on coping saws, and as a trim carpenter, I wouldn't try to use this for cutting blind miters on baseboards.  In any case, this is one fine example of  the cutler's art.

Hi Jeff.  This knife was for auction on ebay some years back.  I just saved what I thought was the best of the seller's photos of it.  Many of the photos I post are of knives I either own, or have owned, but many are of knives that I have seen for sale or auction, that I know I have no hope of ever owning.  I'm no Diamond Jim, and some knives are just beyond my reach.  At least we can enjoy them through photography.  Right?
