LETS SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL CELLULOID!
Re: LETS SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL CELLULOID!
David (edge213) sorry I didn't get back to your inquiry sooner about the knife I posted regarding who made it? It is as I first remembered a Utica.
You have been posting just a bunch of great celluloid folders in this thread--well done I like them all

These Cell. knives are just spectacular!
I'm just so scared to own them, and I'm gathering quite a few...

Re: LETS SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL CELLULOID!
Loooove all the beautiful old cell popping up in this thread, what a great idea!
I noticed that most of my cell knives are insufficiently photographed, so I gathered what I could for this thread and I will use its existence as motivation to get photos (or better ones) of my other cell knives.
I know exactly how you feel. I do find myself having a little more confidence in 100+ year old cell knives that still show no sign of outgassing after a century of life, although I still store them in independent sleeves away from most of my other knives.Dinadan wrote:Nice knives here.

Re: LETS SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL CELLULOID!
Dave, I agree with Cal. Your Utica is quite unusual. I want to call it a cattle jack for the blades but the pattern is so different. Lucky you! I feel !dcgm4 wrote:Utica

Keep your edge sharp, otherwise you just can't cut it.

Re: LETS SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL CELLULOID!
Wayne. That's a very impressive bunch. I like the 4 blade ones but really like the dog leg jack.
Re: LETS SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL CELLULOID!
Wayne, thank you very much for identifying all those knives.

That Iroquois is way cool! Don't often see a Christmas tree handle on a scout pattern.

Re: LETS SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL CELLULOID!
Here are some celluloid toothpicks / fisherman's knives that are all in near mint condition. Top to bottom: Imperial, Colonial, Hammer, Hammer. They all came from the same seller at a knife show.
I've been hunting great condition celluloids recently so if you have any for sale give me a shout. All patterns but I particularly like Coke bottle hunters.

Thanks a a lot, Cal!tongueriver wrote:That Utica is STUNNING!!!dcgm4 wrote:Utica
Thanks, Steve! I think technically it could be considered a harness jack due to the leather punch. Another AAPK member told me Utica called the pattern the "Syrain".
