:D :D :D You know, I've had a lot of these old knives for many years, but hanging around this site has really given me a new appreciation for them. I get them out, oil 'em up, wipe 'em down and enjoy them with other folks here. Big enjoyment. Thanks J.O'.

GSMITH: I have that same bone pen. It's a beauty! Great jigging and nearly mint.
The smaller "box" pen has red/green and red/gold transitioning celluloid scales.
I think these knives and all the ones shown in this thread are rather high quality, in the style of the SWORD line. Nice thread !
J.O'.
Very nice Sir,sometimes it pays to dig a little,kind of fun . Great thread here , like you said the sword line is great quality !

Morning all, here’s a couple of pics of my latest. This came as a surprise in a package of knives that bought from Roland . It’s in solid shape, very well built,swedges on both blades. A few scratches on the blades , may buff out but think will leave them for now.
Great thread here
Ridge, that’s a nice pair you got there ! This forum sure is helpful, and gets a guy going again digging thru and finding these small gems .
Thanks to all here ,take care, stay safe ::tu::

Thank you FRJ,Skip and Smitty . Been looking for more of these, and trying to learn more about the Stainless Steel history in Cutlery. It wasn’t accepted at all at first,my Gramps mentioned more than once his Dad and Uncles didn’t like it and thought it a fad !
Have a good one out there ::tu::

The reason Stainless Cutlery Co knives are so well made is that Camillus wanted to convert people who thought that stainless steel could not be a good knife blade steel. Hence every aspect of these knives is top quality so that the 'doubters' would not find anything they could complain about as being 'inferior'.

No idea, I suppose there is a large number of possibilities. When I first saw it, I immediately thought, (not a serious thought), Chicago Transit Authority. :lol:

Can run with that ,what the heck . A Quick google brings it up as that .Not sure if they would have done it in the 1920 s to 40 s though what with the depression and all the Gangsters Chicago has then and now .
Stay warm down there .
