Thanks for the kind comments on some of my knives. I have been collecting a number of years. The old ones are getting harder to find & afford.
Decisions, decisions, decisions...
I had to restrain myself, I could have come home with alot more old and new and everthing in between.
Nice work!
Envious of that Seahorse! I just gotta suck it up & make the purchase -- got me some whittlin' to do...!
Michael-- You have done well in your journey, Grasshopper !! You have gone forth and searched for the rare and vintage blade, and have returned unscathed-- However, you still have more to learn before you snatch the pebble from my hand-- Your Wade & Butcher is circa 1891-early 1900's- Probably pre 1914- Keep on your quest, my good friend, and I will try to guide you on your journey-Dang, knew I should have quit watching "Kung Fu" reruns !! LOL
way to go michael
Thanks JJ, I almost didnt buy the Seahorse but as the price got lower I couldnt leave it there. Now it lives in my pocket.
Love the finds, Michael, especially the Seahorse.
The top blade is a Wade & Butcher, Shefield England. Probably late 1930's or 1940's.
The other knife with sheath is an Imperial from late '30s to early 50's juging by its tang stamp. Its in nice shape and is cleaning up well.
The sheaths are new Mexican made and were so cheap I couldnt resist.
Best for last is the like new Case Seahorse, 2002 manufacture. I got everything for bargains, im a happy shopper.
