Re: Waterville Cutlery Co.
My sharp sticks;
From rustic edge, to chisel point, to button-down points, a sharp stick collection is a joy and a treasure! I am still searching for the Holy Grail, a twig from the old Waterville picnic grounds.

Charlie,
Eric and I have a whole collection of vintage sharp sticks to sell you ! All from Walden.
They ain't gonna be cheap... but I'll throw in a couple of rare ones too, from Allentown.

Re: Waterville Cutlery Co.
Well, I don't have any Waterville or Walden sticks but I do have a number of Vintage Oregon sticks.
Sticks related to such world famous cutlery companies as Murphy (Murphy combat knives & the original maker of Gerber Knives), and of course Gerber sticks, Al Mar sticks, Benchmade sticks, and Columbia River Knife & Tool sticks.
I even have a stick verified to be sharpened by Orvet, the barely known & occasionally heralded sometimes knife maker & customizer of knives.
(I think I can even get him to sign one).
Unfortunately, I do not have a way to scan them, as they won’t fit my scanner.
However, I just ordered a photo booth today & if the interest remains high in the sticks, I can make, …er, ……. I mean photograph some sticks for this thread when my new booth arrives.

Fran,
Please post pics of all the sharp sticks (you may exclude the dull ones) in your collection.
Perhaps we can get Bryan to set aside a special thread for Stick Swapping!

Re: Waterville Cutlery Co.
Four months later a Waterville beaches itself in the Pacific Northwest!!
This knife was preceded by a Tsunami!!
I have compared it to a Case 6347 premium Stockman, so you can get an idea of size. It also weighs twice as much as the Case! I've never seen that shield before either; have you??
Here's big Mamoo!! When either blade snaps, all the crows leap from their roost!!

Re: Waterville Cutlery Co.
I can't translate, but I will say that both the knives shown above are great.
Both have such interesting designs and such a richness about them.
That big old Jack has a backspring like a bear trap. You'd have to put rocks in your other pocket for ballast if you carried that thing.

I had a xchance at one exactly like that a few weeks back, but it had greenish horn handles. Blade was worn but still snapped like a trap, I nearly fell over when he proudly stated his $600 price tag

Re: Waterville Cutlery Co.
I have a couple of those knives which I believe are either used for splicing new growth onto a tree(slice bark open w/blade;use other end to open bark to insert splice)or as a combination folding bone(for making envelopes before they were commercially available)and sharpening pen quills.Both of mine are English.caboolman wrote:Found this Waterville Cutlery Co. knife at a flea market this weekend.Folded it measures 4 inches long.

Great knife. Glad some body got it that won't mess it up.
Re: Waterville Cutlery Co.
I am pretty new and don't always understand why things sell for what they do.
However, one look at that knife and even the novice can see that its a stunner.
Congrats on getting it, WAY TOO COOL!!
