Wow! Some fantastic old knives being shown!!! :shock: Excuse me for a moment while I pop my eyes back into my head.

This is an Edge Mark, Solingen Germany (11" OAL) that belonged to my Granddad. I remember when Grandma gave it to him for Christmas 1960.

Very good knife. Edge Brand was a Gutmann import. Which Solingen manufacturer made them is not known but the quality is the same as Puma, Wingen, Schlieper, etc.
Some of these knives have saw teeth cut into the spine.

Some exceptional stag on that knife. And there is nothing wrong with the rest of it either. Thanks for showing it!

This gem was found in the basement of an old pawn shop. The owner said she didn't feel right taking money for it so she gave it to me.
I don't think it has ever been sharpened.
I may sandblast the blade.

That knife cleaned up right nicely, Ken. It certainly does look like an Edge Mark or one of the related German makers. ::tu::

It's called the Journeyman model. 7 3/4" OAL with cocobolo handle.

Wow! That would be a great addition to the collection if you can find one. I was going to say that the BRKT Journeyman reminded me a bit of the German youth knife.....so does your picture. The Linder Pathfinder 9" oal. All three knives have a bayonet-like look to them.

Hey everybody. I'm new here, so HELLO! This forum is incredible. I've spent days looking around, and there's so much here.
Here is my custom ordered Chute knife made by my friend, Tim Withers from Stockton, Ca. Tim does incredible work, and his attention to detail is crazy. His soldering and polishing make this knife look like it's one piece of steel
I got the Mammoth Interior Ivory for the scales from Mark Knapp, a knifemaker out of Fairbanks. If You need some great, aged Mammoth, Walrus, Oosik, or any other exotic for Your knife scales, Mark and his wife Angel are awesome folks to deal with, and Mark will cut custom scales for a great price. Anyway, here's my Mammoth Ivory handled Chute.
Tim made an awesome sheath with a pocket holding a bar of Ivory. it has an oval cut out, and another old friend, Ron Skaggs has it right now, and he is going to color scrimshaw a Woolly Mammoth's head and tusks looking straight out.
I should note that there isn't a black dot next to Tim's stamp. It's the camera lens on my iPad. I have several fixed blades, but this one pretty much rocks compared to the rest.

Thanks for the welcome Montana! I have a lot of knives that I know nothing about, and I have a feeling that I can learn a lot from You all. I can't believe that I've never found this forum before. I'll be spending a lot of time exploring here.
