Old and Obscure Brands
Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Last one for today. Old "Fairmount Cutlery" I really like these cuz many of them had the fileworked backsprings which really highlight a knife. This one happens to have really nice lightly used blades and the main has a beautiful swedge. Bob

Hi I'm a new member and thought I'd add a few to this thread. I picked them up on ebay and not sure if they are legit or not. I appreciate your comments.

Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Thanks Wullie I got into a vintage knife phase and picked them up on ebay. I'm not sure if they are all legit. The two Valley forge are suspect first one looks rehandled and the second one I think has been rebladed. I've learned a lot here since I've been lurking here.

Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Thanks Knifegirl my current addiction is new Schatt Morgans. I would like to see them make this knife next year in their Heritage series. I added a couple more pics it has a few cracks in the bone and pitting on the blade.

I just found an old catalog cut showing that exact knife, the wholesale price to a dealer was $8.25 per gross!
That comes to a whole .05 cents each
No wonder they are so cheaply made how can a factory make them for less than .05 cents and still make a profit??
