I-Man, any chance when you pull these beauties out again you could do a close-up tang-stamp-shot? ...

[GSPTOPDOG]

Thought the old Utica EO would be a good one for today..IMG_0001 (1).JPG

....Something is wrong here.... .... How does T.M.K. get so many pristine antique knives? The knives appear to be almost unused... it is as if somehow, he was travelling BACK in time!!! .....

You did it I-Man! I knew you would come through Great tang stamps. Yes, you nailed it! it looks like the tang stamp shown here is known as Camillus' four-line stamp. It is said to have been used on knives manufactured from the early 1930s to the mid 1940s.
I was not familiar with the Challenge stamps, so good to see it Thanks!

I have been working on the time machine concept for quite a while ... or should I say quite some "Time" ? The main drawback with the machine is that it requires an enormous amount of energy to power it. A couple of Chi-com solar panels and a few Bald eagle killing windmills aren't going to get the job done. Solar and wind are great for getting a big fat taxpayer sponsored grant from the Government but I need more energy than the corrupt and weak-A$$ Green New Deal can provide... ... I have been trying to get ahold of Elon Musk, seems he is a little busy lately ... not returning my calls...

AOC would be glad to procure funding from Congress for you, TOPDOG. She can get you anything you need, as long as it's funded by the taxpayers. Just hang in there, you'll get the time machine going soon enough, then you can go back and buy up all the good stuff that I didn't already buy in the 1800's...

TMK, that is great idea ... I hear those US Mint printing presses are running 24/7 ... there has to be plenty to go around in the interest of Politically Correct Science (PCS) I can tell AOC I will travel back to 1776 and start handing out copies of Marx's "Das Capital" and Mao's "Little Red Book" I should get a couple of billion for that

And to stay ON topic... BOTH topics that is, here my EDC and some research material to boot ... (or maybe re-boot the Time machine )

You're always welcome. Although to be totally accurate I was told at a knife show this stamp was from the 19 teens to 1920's so maybe it was between the war years and not actually during WW1. Could be wrong, but that's what I was told and the old iron bolsters and hand hammered pins made it seem plausible. But thanks and anytime I can be of service, you got it.

[GSPTOPDOG]

The tang stamp shown here on yours is known has 4-lines and before that Camillus used a three-line straight stamp used on knives manufactured from 1916 to the early 1930s (according to the AAPK site). That being said... I am in no way any kind of Camillus expert .

However, I am an expert in beautiful knives and bones and those two knives you presented today are right at the top of my list!

Those are cool, TOPDOG! Put some oil on that wood handle! Oh, and I think I'm going to stick to knives, the Washington stuff depresses me!

Thanks, y'all, and some most excellent carriers yourselves! An I-Man photo calendar would be great, too!

[Ivoryman]

Iman, your two knives today are even more spectacular than usual. Beautiful antique/vintage knives. We really need a calendar filled with your choicest knives.

You have a calendar full of Bulldogs yourself bud. That's kind of you. Thanks.

GSP, if you attach a 2 lb. hammer to your time machine that bonks you in the head, you will definitely travel into the future. At least for several minutes.

I think Schrade made these "Hammer Forged" Keen Kutters anyone know for sure? Today's EDC.
