Some nail nicks & pulls used on some Doctor knives.

Jerry - Interesting nicks and pulls on those doctors knives I guess. But I have a hard time taking my eyes off of those fine covers long enough to look at the nicks!

Mel, my purpose in posting those was to show that the same pattern knife will sometimes have a different nick/pull design. I guess I should have stated that.

Jerry - I was not complaining! Now that you mention it, I guess the different nicks on the same pattern is a good point to make.jerryd6818 wrote:Mel, my purpose in posting those was to show that the same pattern knife will sometimes have a different nick/pull design.

Joe, you just kicked my brain into gear. I didn't think I had a knife with the acorn shield and you caused me to notice the AG Russell does (have an acorn shield).FRJ wrote:Great looking nicks on those very nice Doctor knives that it's about time you showed off.

Re: Blade Nail Nicks and Long Pulls – Old and New
Hey Dr JerryD - I truly never knew you were a "closet" Dr knife collector - Nice additions of nicks & pulls on a pattern not seen on this thread yet...
Greg - "not many" - I would say you had more than just a few my friend .. Nice long pulls and a few matchstrikers as well - Curious but in the 4th pic down what is the maker on that sweet gunstock jack with the nice heavy blade & matchstriker pull? Those 2 Case knives in the 5th pic - that is the deepest & widest long pull I've seen yet on the first Case shown... and the other is a unique pattern I have never seen (what do they call that pattern?) with an interesting pull that looks to be part on blade and part way down into the tang area - thanks for sharing those

Re: Blade Nail Nicks and Long Pulls – Old and New
More accurately an inactive Doc accumulator. I got sidetracked on the Camillus 72s but still like my Doc's. I just don't add to the pile anymore, which doesn't mean I won't in the future.LongBlade wrote:Hey Dr JerryD - I truly never knew you were a "closet" Dr knife collector - Nice additions of nicks & pulls on a pattern not seen on this thread yet...

Re: Blade Nail Nicks and Long Pulls – Old and New
Cool Greg - that bottom Case Cheetah has one heck of a deep wide nail nick - you can probably get your whole finger tip in that one!!!

Re: Blade Nail Nicks and Long Pulls – Old and New
Yeah Lee. The bone one has more of an SAB type blade than the stag example. That may be the difference.

Re: Blade Nail Nicks and Long Pulls – Old and New
I think it is interesting to see the same knife pattern from the same maker, showing how they varied the pulls. That is really cool.
Here is one (I don't own but wish I did) that I think is very well done. A simple long pull, but it fits the blade really well and really adds to the look of the knife. This is a 2012 ivory handled cotton sampler by Tuna Valley (made by Great Eastern). The picture is from Frank's Classics website.

Re: Blade Nail Nicks and Long Pulls – Old and New
Also, forgot to mention. I remember seeing a knife some time ago that had a nail pull on both sides of the blade. I can't remember if I saw it here, or elsewhere on the internet, but it definitely sticks in my mind. Does anyone remember seeing that knife?

Re: Blade Nail Nicks and Long Pulls – Old and New
Rookie, you may have been thinking of this knife.
Been wanting to put it and others up here for a while.
It's a very small Congress Waterville. 2 3/4"

Re: Blade Nail Nicks and Long Pulls – Old and New
That is no doubt one of my favorite knives of all Joe and with pulls on both sides ... It has been since the time you first posted it ... can't remember but the photos make it appear to be a congress whittler??

Re: Blade Nail Nicks and Long Pulls – Old and New
Yes I do believe that was the one. For some reason I was thinking it had nail nicks on both sides, not long pulls. But I definitely remember the yellow handles. Very nice.

How about the "through-n-through" pull on this Scagel Fruitport.

And the pinned on arrowhead shield and those great stag handles and that wonderful Wharncliffe blade. How about that.QTCut5 wrote:How about the "through-n-through" pull on this Scagel Fruitport.
