When were 'Stewart's Hand Made' knives made?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Kevin D Apr 25. 10 Replies

I had a knife given to me little while back.  It was pretty nasty looking, but I thought from the shape and stuff, it was just an Old Hickory knife.  One of those cheapo kitchen knives.  As I was…Continue

I've got a model 62 also in much better condition than the '90. I hunted with the '62 with my grandad on a ranch in the Arbuckle Mountains of south-central Oklahoma where he was a true to life horseback riding cowboy until he was 83. Those rifles are neat and accurate little guns. Thanks for the welcome to iKnife. I've got 5 Mr Itou 5" drop hunter damascus knives (unused with leather sheaths) with exotic handles (Mammoth molar, genuine ivory, narwhal horn, abalone, and another that I can't remember). I'm trying to determine quality and value. I've also got a Civil War officer's sword (in very good to excellent condition) marked U.S. ADK 1862 on one side and Ames Mfg Co Chicopee Mass. on the other side with the metal scabbard. On the handguard it is stamped 2125. Again I'm trying to determine value. I'm interested in selling these, as well as some other knives. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Lonnie

Thanks for the welcome message Kevin.  I wonder what type of knife Godzilla would carry?  Multi-tool, or would they be too hard to open?  Fixed blade, maybe a Smatchet Cas Iberia Viking Sword as a neck knife?  Auto or manual folder - Cold Steel pocket sword (Voyager XL Vaquero)?  Perhaps a Spyderco Salt since he seems to spend a lot of time in the ocean?

Hi Kevin. Apologies for not seeing this sooner. My profile pic was a stock photo, but dad is an avid tool collector and has boxes and boxes of those things. Actually he WAS an avid tool collector until mom put the brakes on him because they were running out of room in the house. She understands the passion for collecting, but his addiction was making life a bit difficult. He too is a fan of Stanley anything. Stay well and thanks!

Hey man...thanks for the friend request...of course I accepted! As for sending private messages, this is just fine - but if you truely want to send a private message - use the iKC email - upper right hand corner of your page in the area of your name, sign out, Fried requests, etc...

I wanted to start a formal stand-alone CFK group, but I could not accurately gauge  if it would be accepted or not - so I started the it as a sub-group in the Box Full of Knives Box of Knives. I'm glad i did - as I commented to Lead Left Knife Guy , I seem to be the only one playing in that sand box at the moment, and I'm not sure my ego could manage no one join a group!  LoL!

Right now it looks like it's just my thread....but if you add a post to it, then it will be as it is intended - a place to appreciate the CFK/iPAC brand.

A Problem With Fakes

Posted on January 6, 2026 at 19:01 2 Comments

Recently, I was nearly taken in by what I discovered was a fake.

Now granted, I do not know as much as I would like to about the family of knives in question.  In this case, Kukris.  I came across an auction for a 1917 military issued kukri.  Interesting!  (to me anyway)

My initial research showed me another kukri that had the similar markings and same handle construction and design  was being offered from an established auction house.  I took that as confirmation that the…

Not to cut the cheese! - The post-socket era of Swiss bayonets

In the course of writing this blog, it has been reinforced to me that a good order of thoughts help provide a clear and concise transference of information.  While I had this information in pieces (knowing they went together), it was not organized nearly as neatly as this is now.  So this has really helped me consolidate things and get things all together nicely.

 

iKC has been a great find and home on the internet for me.  A large array of topics ranging from folders (that I…
