Re: Old Cattle Knives
Thanks Dimitri for showing the Marshall Wells. It's one of our home town company knives probably made by NYK. I have a few of those I should dig out for a photo. I love seeing those old serious working knives with all their time honored bumps and bruises, like their ready for another day at work, just the way I love finding them. ___Dave

Re: Old Cattle Knives
Thanks Bill, something about the old jigged bone handles that can't be duplicated on new knives

Re: Old Cattle Knives
Nice knives fellas.
For reference about Jerry's knife and Rogers observation. Here are examples of Schrade bone (L-R chronologically):
And an early NYK :
Notice the underlying Xs or the criss crosses in the pick bone, these lines appear more prominent on pocket worn pick bone.
These deeper grooves can be seen in the last photo of the NYK.

It could be a kingston.OLDE CUTLER wrote:Amazing how many of these you see, old knives with no makers mark on them except sometimes like this cattle knife, just stamped USA. I picked this one up at a fleamarket for $2 and have used it as an EDC for a while. I suppose it's possible that some of these unmarked knives were originally etched on the blade only, but after years of use that disappears along with any idea of who made them. This one could have been made by Camillus, Schrade, or who knows. The double stamp "USA USA" is kind of interesting.

Very interesting and fits in with one of my theories that the name may have originally been etched on the blade, but is no longer visible.KnifeSlinger#81 wrote:It could be a kingston.OLDE CUTLER wrote:Amazing how many of these you see, old knives with no makers mark on them except sometimes like this cattle knife, just stamped USA.

Re: Old Cattle Knives
I picked up this old Hammer Brand cattle knife at the flea market today for a couple of bucks. I have several of these, but none with handle material coloring like this one. Looks like a UPC scanner code.

Lyle, thank you for the picture showing the Schrade bone comparison. By the way, the NYK Farmers Jack is amazing!wlf wrote:Nice knives fellas.

Dmitri, Keith, Paul, Pile Driver, Olde Cutler it was a pleasure to see your old Cattle knives. Marshall Wells was unknown brand to me until now.

Re: Old Cattle Knives
These pictures are of a 3 5/8" pearl handled Waterville cattle knife that was formerly in Harold stockman's collection. The WATER-VILLE mark was used from 1890 to 1913 and the company was based in Connecticut. All of the blades are marked and they all have half stops with crisp snaps at every stop. It is a very well made knife.
There are very few pearl knives in my collection. This is one that I am certain has not be re-handled.

Just in case you need to puncture and deflate a bloated cow on the way home from church.

Wow, that is a nice old P & G cattle knife. I only have one P & G, a harness jack and their bone handles are nice.knifegnome wrote:A Paxton & Gallagher Omaha Cattleman.
