Wow Mike R , those are all extraordinary knives, but that Ellenville is my favorite. Of course the MB is there too.ObsidianEdge wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2025 3:46 pm Great knife, Lyle. Love those fruit knives.
Ellenville, NYK and Miller Brothers.
Thanks Mike. It's harder for me identifying some of mine, as most have been used.

I picked it up today, unfortunately it was overloaded and the joint bent a little, I wonder if this can be cured?

I would not attempt any straightening on ANY pearl handled knife! Amazing that they didnt break when it was overloaded.desert.snake wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2025 6:33 pm I picked it up today, unfortunately it was overloaded and the joint bent a little, I wonder if this can be cured?

Re: Vintage Mother Of Pearl (MOP) Knives
Thank you all! Then I guess I'll leave it as is. The only thing I can do is wash the joint with WD40 and then lubricate it so that corrosion does not continue there

Re: Vintage Mother Of Pearl (MOP) Knives
Not sure why I haven't latched onto this thread before now; I have a few (!) MoP knives that some of you might enjoy seeing. Some are in nice shape; others, not so much--but I'll show a few that I find interesting.
1. C. Lutters. May not be so very old, but it's one of the bigger ones I have. 2 blades
2. Marked "MUREL 54" on the main blade, and "Valentine Saviour" is etched into the pearl. 2 blades and a file.
3. Buhl Sons Co., Detroit Michigan. 2 blades
4. Miller Bros. screw-on covers, and covered back springs. No snap on any of the 4 blades, and the blades are all corroded. Still...

4. H.G. Long & Co., Sheffield with a single blade
