Here is one I picked up today. Keenwell Mfg. Co, Olean NY circa 1912. Sheath is currently undergoing re-furbishing. Point of knife has been re-profiled slightly.

I love looking through this post. So many fine old knives in one place.

Not a knife but here is a pretty hard to find MSA #1 Axe.

7" MSA Ideal with Lignum Vitea pommel.

Thread bump day for me...

If you haven't browsed this thread or if it has been a while, it might be worth a look. There are some really exceptional knives posted in this thread.

Here is a Case Tested XX 6165 SAB with green winterbottom handles.

Thanks for looking.

Those are beauties Roger (lovely etch too) and Dimitri ::tu:: ::tu:: ... and the thread of awesome Hunters grows ::nod:: ....

MB's additions just above jarred my memory ::dang:: - I never put this one in this thread and being a big lock back clip blade with knurly stag from Wostenholm I think it belongs here as a Hunter -
