DAMAGE: Some scratching at the end of the blade that could not be removed when customizing.

SNAP: Good for this pattern.

MADE IN: Camillus New York, USA and customized in the U.S.A.

ADDITIONAL INFO:

This knife started life as a rope knife of the type used by the Coast Guard in life rafts (though it does not have the Coast Guard markings). I removed the wooden handles and replaced them with handles of jigged honey horn. I filed the backspring with a rope pattern and filed threading and crown work on the bolsters. This is a great knife to add to your collection or an eye-catching user.

OAL: 7 inches

BLADE LENGTH: 3-1/2 inches        

HANDLE: Cocobolo wood              

TANG STAMPS: CAMILLUS/New York/U.S.A.

SHEATH: Leather

CONDITION: New Customized knife from a Camillus blank

MADE IN: U.S.A. and Customized in the U.S.A.

ADDITIONAL INFO:   I purchased this blank after the Camillus factory closed in 2007. The handles are made from Cocobolo wood. Cocobolo is a member of the rosewood family that has been used for knife handles for the last 150 years. The handles are attached with mosaic pins and glue. The glue prevents moisture from getting between the tang and handles and causing damage. The sheath is riveted and sewn, but has a small blemish in the leather in the front side.

SHEATH: Custom Tooled Leather Sheath by Paul Long of Kerrville, TX. Sheath has soft leather lining.

CONDITION: New Customized knife from a Camillus blank

MADE IN: U.S.A. and Customized in the U.S.A.

ADDITIONAL INFO:         I purchased this blank after the Camillus factory closed in 2007. The handles are thick slabs of Sandbar Stag. The handles are attached with mosaic pins and glue. The glue prevents moisture from getting between the tang and handles and causing damage. The bolsters are hand cut from brass stock and pinned. Between the tang and the stag, and between the bolsters and the stag is a layer of black liner material which serves as a contrast to the white part of the stag where it is hafted to meet the bolsters and tang.

The sheath was custom made for this knife by Paul Long of Kerrville Texas. Paul has been a friend for many years and is one of the most accomplished custom sheath makers in the U.S.A. This sheath is made from heavy weight cowhide. It is tooled with a basket weave pattern on the front and accented with the edge of the dark brown liner. The inside of the sheath is lined with soft gloving leather. The back of the sheath is stamped with Paul’s signature logo. The sheath itself is a work of art.

Here is a One-Of-A-Kind knife for your collection or for your use.

Quantity:  

This is a Cutler's Stiddy (Steady), also called a Steady Rest. It is an anvil used for making & repairing slipjoint knives. The peening horn on the front is used to peen the backs of scale pins. This allows the cutler to change the handles of a knife without taking the knife completely apart. The peening horn is bolted on and can be removed to modify it or it can be replaced with a horn of a different design. The top of the peening horn is offset above the top of the stiddy to allow for crinking of blades. One side is slightly higher than the other to give a greater height for more severe crinking. This is also used to put more strength in a weak backspring. The hole in the top of the stiddy is for tapping pins out of a knife.

The base of the stiddy is 3-1/4 inches by 3 inches. Height is approximate 4-1/4 inches at the highest point of the peening horn. Approximate weight 4 lbs. The stiddy is serial numbered (#1008) and marked with my name and the year made, 2009 in this case.  <br />

I make these from railroad track. They are carbon steel and can be welded if you have the right type of welding rod. Each stiddy is handmade and take from 6 to 12 hours of grinding and polishing. The top of the stiddy is polished to a near mirror polish so that nicks in the stiddy are not transferred into the bolster of the knife you are working on.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
This knife started life as a Plain-Jane TL-29 like million others. I took it apart and replaced the nickel silver bolsters with longer brass bolsters, essentially making it a Barlow. I file worked the bolsters with grooves and crowning. I replaced the black plastic handles with smooth dyed camel bone. I file worked the backspring and the spine of the blade with vine & leaf filework, continuing the pattern through the joint where the backspring meets the blade.

This knife is a one-of-a-kind customized knife, suitable for display or to carry and use everyday.

BLADE ETCH: NoneSHEATH: Black leather with basket weave pattern on front; back side boot or belt metal clip, (a two-in-one style clip). I believe this to be a Camillus factory sheath, though it is unmarked.

ADDITIONAL INFO:        This knife is made with a blade from the Camillus factory that was unfinished when they closed in 2007. I finished the blank with genuine Snake Wood handles. The handles are held on with mosaic pins and also with epoxy to prevent moisture from getting behind the wood and causing damage. The Snake Wood is sanded to about 4000 grit and the wood is polished to a high sheen with hard carnauba wax. Due to the oily nature of Snake Wood, the handles will not take a traditional finish such as polyurethane or other spirit based finishes.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
This knife is new old stock. It has not been used. It came to me in a Western Box with paperwork from the Camillus factory. If this were the correct box for the knife, it would date the knife after 1991. However, I cannot find where Camillus sold this pattern after they bought Western. In that case it should have a letter code to date the year it was made in the Western factory, but alas, it has no letter code. The only explanations I can think of are that:
A. It is a transition knife. Perhaps a work in progress in the Western factory that was finished at Camillus after they bought Western, and consequently packaged in a Camillus-Western box.
B. The possibility always exists that someone put the knife in the wrong box.

Whatever the reason or the box, the fact remains that you will get a new high quality Western knife. Suitable for display or riding around all day in your pocket, ready at a moments notice to help you with your cutting chores.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
This is an awesome old Ulster Fish knife! Aside from the fact that someone tried to sharpen it and left a few scratches on the blade, it shows little sign of use. There is minor shrinkage of the handles, noticeable next to the bolsters. There are minor scratches on the bolsters and back, probably from pocket wear. The blade is full and the etch is plainly visible and easy to read.

Here is the description from the 1954 catalog. You can see a copy of the 1954 SS94 listing if you view picture #4.

Sportsmaster Stainproof fishing knife, Closed Length 5 inches long; Maize (Yellow) or Red Handles; Stainless Steel Blades and Springs; One Long Clip Blade and a Combination Hook Disgorger, Fish Scaler, and Cap Lifter Blade; Brass Linings; Nickel Silver Bolsters; Blades Full Mirror Polished.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
This is a new old stock Schrade Simon SS1AB, The AB stands for “all “black” as this model came in several different finishes. This knife is a frame lock with a spring-loaded clip at the rear to clip it onto a key chain. When closed the edge is enclosed in a “V” of steel that protects the cutting edge and the user. I have used and carried this model. It is light in weight and carries nicely on a key chain. Probably it’s greatest value is that of a collectable as they have not been made in 5 years. They keep getting harder to find and the price keeps going up. Get yours now!

ADDITIONAL INFO:
This is a nice knife that appears not to have been used, or if it was, it was very little. Good for a collection or a good user. I believe this was made when United Cutlery owned Boker or at least had the rights to use the Boker name. I remember seeing some United Boker knives in the 1980s when I managed a cutlery store. In my personal opinion they were not of the high quality standards of Boker Germany, or even Boker USA. If memory serves, the United Boker union was short lived. I guess in one sense that makes this knife a bit more rare than the regular Boker knives. It appears to be a good little knife. As a good friend of mine says, “It is what it is.” Perhaps there is some historical significance to it.
