Nice Ed thanks for sharing it

At 3 7/8", this Wostenholm sports an older stamp with no * in the IXL, Goins says 1850-1890.

Beautiful stag!

[Waukonda]

A nice, smooth bone, A J Jordan dogleg. The main is stamped "Sheffield and St Louis", the secondary has "Sheffield England".

Ike that is a great looking knife, congrats....

Great find Ike

[Jacknifeben]

I always figured this knife came from England because the owner came over in 1890 and started a hardware store in BILLINGS MONTANA.

Wow Waukonda, that Wolstenholm Farmers Jack stag is amazing, and so is that A J Jordan. Awwwwwwwwwwesome show.

Nice Wostenholm Ike. You should post it in the farmers jacks thread.

Here are 2 marked Army & Navy CSL, they were a London firm that sold items for military personnel which started around 1880. Stag is 7” closed and the horn is 5” closed.

Nice Mike, Ike, and D.

Beautiful piece, love the look of those covers.

Two great looking vintage pieces. For that old they look fabulous.

Lockwood Bros.(1849-present?) Sheffield. 3--9/16" Horn scales, factory edges, tight and snappy.Just stained from exposure. J.O'.

Beautiful knife, as usual, Lyle.

This one's a dandy to chew on. It's marked only Sheffield England. A big 4 1/2" steel jack with some terrific bone and rat tail bolsters..

[stumpstalker]

I second the motion, wlf. Absolutely a dandy.

Here's one I have wanted to post, but not having a camera, no opportunity. But I saw on the Empire thread that Barry had used his scanner to post an image of a knife. I had never thought about using a scanner.

Anyway, here's a John Copley & Sons, with a single 5 and 7/16th-inch half-saber spear blade (or is it a Eucalyptus leaf blade?), deep-stamped alongside the spine [TO STRIKE FIRE].

Is that hand-gouged jigging?

How to categorize it -- is it an English Jack, or too coarse?

It has a primitive aspect for me, and recalls William Blake: “...What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry?”

That's a behemoth. Nice

Very impressive knife! Tyger! Tyger!

Nice one stumpstalker . Looks like a hand full .

Here is the pile side of the John Copley & Sons with the 4-1/8th-inch Case 99 pattern that I have most often carried over several decades.

I find engaging the industrial and commercial use of the XX mark, which can be seen on the tang of the J. Copley.
