Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Berryb, that is a nice pile! I especially like the looks of the bone handled jack on the right side of your picture. Who made that one?

Timber scribe, that is the right name, thanks.jerryd6818 wrote:Are you talking about the "Timber Scribe"? Top middle. I guess you could call that a pallet marking knife.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Treefarmer: That bone handled one is a Cattaraugus. It's sittin' on top of my "look at every day" pile. It's clean and snaps like a trap. That won't last long if I don't quit playin' with it.
Dogglegg: Yeah that knife is called a timber scribe, but I think what you called it is more descriptive of what it was actually used for. Pallets, packing crates etc. Timber scribe makes it sound like it was used out in the woods.

ps. If this shows up twice, sorry. The first time I sent it, it didn't seem to take so I re-submitted.

Nice finds BWT. I especially like the whittler, seems I am always attracted to a sleeveboard with a bar shield.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Went to the Wolverine Knife Collector's Club show today. Lots of really beautiful knives there but very limited funds;more of a window shopping trip.Talked with a couple old friends and found out some information on a custom knife maker that made a knife I acquired some time back.
Found out he stopped making knives about 15 years ago but is still alive. Going to get in touch with him to find out about when he made my knife. Also saw a huge display model canoe that he had done a long time ago.Wish I had my camera with me to capture a picture of it.
Anyway I only found two knives;one of which I bought for my wife because she likes the color pink. Nothing expensive just a small Rough Rider congress pattern with fancy bolsters and bright pink bone handles.
The other knife was one I had heard of but never seen before. A scout utility pattern with faux pearl handles engraved with the name,"Esther Palmer". Kind of unusual for a woman's name to be on a utility knife. The stamp was,"American Knife Co. Winsted Ct." A little rusty but it cleaned up easily and nicely and was only $15.
Attendance seemed to be down a bit from the last time and from what I gathered there were a lot of lookers but not a whole lot of buyers.
One other item: Be on the lookout for an upcoming knifemaker by the name of Aaron R. Noppert.I talked for awhile with this young man who had a table full of knives he had made including two very nice stag handled folders. He told me has made about 40 knives so far and been making them for about three years now.
So what is so special about Aaron? Maybe the fact that he is only SIXTEEN years old! This kid is GOOD!!!!!!

Traded a $5 Lincoln Portrait for this old 72 today.
Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Picked up this Turner and Jepson today,excellent snap and half stops. I was wondering about the pins, didn't exactly look right to me the way they are cut off? Maybe someone did some repairs, but I had to have it because of the old stag handles!!!

What a beauty of a knife! The pins, to me anyway, are consistent with construction of that era. They were typically roughly pinned, with no pin spinning, and not a lot of finish buff work.

Picked these up at an estate sale

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Look what followed me home. A Queen Barlow, bone handles, 1/2 stops, unsharpened pen blade, needs a good sprucing up. I believe the sideways "Q" indicates 1952-55.
