Waterville Manufacturing / Waterville Cutlery Info
Re: Waterville Manufacturing / Waterville Cutlery Info
Here is a pretty good looking old guy. I really like how the shield mimics the handle.
Re: Waterville Manufacturing / Waterville Cutlery Info
Mason, old Waterville's don't usually show in that good of shape.
Or that good looking, for that matter.
What a beauty!!

Re: Waterville Manufacturing / Waterville Cutlery Info
Mason, I am piling on the compliments already written. Your Waterville knife is extraordinary! I am curious as to its length - is it in the 3 1/2" range or over 4"? The large cigar-like patterns are one of my favorite patterns.
Re: Waterville Manufacturing / Waterville Cutlery Info
Jerry you have already got most of the Case and Remingtons in the known world. Leave the Watervilles alone.

You know the more I looked at this knife Mason I realized I have a Waterville with a similar shield that also mirrors the swell-center frame (posted it on another Waterville thread on AAPK but thought it be cool to compare to yours - mine is 3 & 5/8" closed)... This one is ebony - I prefer your jigged bone though .. anyway so here it is again...

Thanks all.
I am a fan of that pattern as well Ralphalsip, and the length on this one is 3-5/8.

Great example, and I prefer the match striker pull on your model.LongBlade wrote:You know the more I looked at this knife Mason I realized I have a Waterville with a similar shield that also mirrors the swell-center frame (posted it on another Waterville thread on AAPK but thought it be cool to compare to yours - mine is 3 & 5/8" closed)...

LOL, Harold. I still need a few more Case and Remingtons so I'll just admire Watervilles from afar.stockman wrote:you have already got most of the Case and Remingtons in the known world. Leave the Watervilles alone.Harold

Re: Waterville Manufacturing / Waterville Cutlery Info
Thanks dhillbilly for that great history lesson. Waterville made some very cool knives. Here's a pair of small gent's knives. The same pattern with 2 different handle materials. The knives are 2 1/2" closed. One has Aluminum handles/liners, no scales, hand engraved with pocket wear and sunk joint construction. The other has Ivory handles & brass liners with common joint construction. Barry

Re: Waterville Manufacturing / Waterville Cutlery Info
One of my favorite patterns, a wharncliffe pen knife. 2 7/8" closed. Stamped WATERVILLE CUTLERY CO CONN. on the master blade and WATER-VILLE CO on the pen blade. Aluminum handles likely hand engraved. Used but not abused condition.

Re: Waterville Manufacturing / Waterville Cutlery Info
Sweet Waterviile Barry ... Looks like this one had some brass detail work on the handles at the pivot pins if I'm not mistaken.. have to agree on the pattern as I am quite fond of the wharncliffe pens as well ...

Lee, The color that appears to be brass detail is only a reflection from the scanner.

Another Beauty Mason. That is a special Waterville you have
Great collection Barry, those are good looking. The ivory has great natural pattern and the wharncliffe has really nice, full blades.

Thanks Knife-nut, that poster is great. Not a lot of Waterville stuff like that out there. Kansas City Waterville around 1913-14?
Re: Waterville Manufacturing / Waterville Cutlery Info
Oh knife-nut, that is a great one. It is waaay better to me than any hot rod car, bodacious babe or hulking hunk poster any day. If you EVER want to part with it, please drop me a line
