Not sure how many different manufacturers....those are not all my Solingen etc. stag...I have some new ones...and some I just forgot to put in the picture. In that photo, and off the top of my head I know there are 2 USA (KOA), 2 Canada (DH Russell/Grohmann), 5 Puma, and 10 various other Solingen...I'll look at them and put a list together soon. (still trying to figure out how to delete photos on my new page)

Thanks very much for the warm welcome. Looking forward to seeing you onboard. s-k.

Ricky, Me and my family pray for your wife everyday, we continue to pray that all goes well and that she will be healed and restrengthened by the Good LORD. 

I wish I was more like your Dad, I just can't seem to pick a knife to stick with. 

GOD Bless my friend 

Hey Ricky, hows it going?

How Is your Dad still liking that Buck?

GOD Bless 

Hi Ricky,

Well, excluding the Remscheid stamp labeled G1 on the chart, this is a pretty old knife. Hard to really say when this was made as there's not much to go on. It does appear to be imitation ivory celluloid so that likely puts it before WWII, and the true wharncliffe -- with a wharncliffe master blade -- is a very old pattern but as a shadow (no bolsters) and with a bail added, I can't imagine this knife being any older than about 1910 or so -- just guessing (I used to collect wharncliffes, a long time ago).

Based mostly on the markings, I would guess that this wasn't made for the American market, but likely for another English speaking market and Australia would be a good bet. Let's say c.1910-1940 for a wide range. Most of the knives I've seen with the crossed arrows logo have been much later, 1970s, but I think that Roger Russell has an older fixed blade marked much like this and maybe I've seen one more. Definitely rare markings, at least here in the states.

Hope this helps -- just my opinion of course, and everybody's got one!

Hi Ricky,

Thanks for your note and the suggestion on the Boker group. I'll have a look. I don't visit here very often as running KNIFE WORLD and traveling to the shows takes a ton of time, but I try to keep up with what's happening as best I can.

Hey Buddy,

   Yeah it's been awhile since I've been on AAPK. I've been flooded with knife orders which has kept me busy. There was also the Knife Expo 2011 here in So. Cal this weekend which kept me busy as well. I should be back on AAPK for an auction in a few weeks. Hope to see you there.
