Apparently my reply from my son's ipad did nothing but somehow copy your response. Check out the Ron Chappel custom knife currently on ebay. He is a knife maker in Spokan Wash, and so was his dad for Davis knives. The…"

In MemoriamD ale said… Mary .. this may be who it is .. the J.C. could very well be the owner's initials .. while his Co. name is Skye Knives. An actual pic of the markings on the blade would be most helpful .. for any knife you may be tryig to find info on.

My sincere condolences on the loss of your husband !!.
Indeed .. you will find a friendly & helpful community here .. unlike anywhere else I've found on the net. Should you need any assistance navigating or posting or anything relative to iKC .. just post the issue .. someone will step up to help.

Your husband knew what he was doing by NOT storing a knife in it's sheath. It can & will cause oxidation of the enclosed metal surfaces.
.
The "stamping" found on most knives is the most helpful factor when determining ..well.. pretty much anything about a knife. Should you need help identifying a knife .. a clear pic of the stamping will facilitate one of us providing assistance.
.
I do hope you may enjoy the day.

Hi Mary -
My sincere condolences on your loss.
You have chosen a great community to join to learn about your husband's knives. The people here are respectful and kind and are just good people, not something easy to find on the internet nowadays.
I can imagine it is very hard for you to go through the cataloging of your beloved's items.
This should be a reminder for all of us that are lucky to have the time to catalog our collections for our loved ones who will someday have to determine what to do with our collections.
I keep a spreadsheet inventory on my computer desktop of my knife and gun collections so that Maggie will have an idea of the worth of the items and an inventory to work with when/if she needs to sell the items.
Good luck, Mary, and don't hesitate to ask if you have questions.
very best regards

Thank you so much. I appreciate how kind everyone has been.
I felt very close to my husband today as I cataloged each knife. I never paid much attention to this hobby but as I search on the Internet (better logo, description, history, and name), I am finding that many of these knife craftsman had great stories. It's allowed me time to honor my husbands passion for artisan knife makers.
The cataloging is time consuming but I counted - over - 27 knives without adding in the folding Pocket knives.
Most of the knives have matching sheaths because my husband put the knife makers name on a small piece of paper inside the sheath. I do remember him telling me that he never kept the knives in the sheath because somehow the leather could damage the blade so each knife was wrapped in like a cheese cloth (it's not cheese cloth but like a workman's cloth) material to protect it and stored in an air tight container.
Charles did not buy the knives for an investment but for the beauty of the work. Now I am able to appreciate both.
I do not know mr Mayberry.
Thanks again.
Mary

Sorry for you loss.
Be blessed,
