Old Wrench/Tool Knives

[FRJ]

Thank you, David.
It's a bit blade worn but in great condition.
More than anything, I like the punch they put in these knives.

Pretty sure Valley Forge never made this knife. If you're looking for an authentic O. Barnett Tool Co. horseman's knife, don't bid on this one.

This one has the correct blade but I don't think the stag scale on the mark side is authentic.

Took me a while to find one of these in good condition, tang stamped Valley Forge.

Has the original blade etch but is hard to see because someone laid the blade flat on a sharpening stone

Just fished this one out of the 'bay. Can't wait to get it in hand, auction pictures.

[1967redrider]

Knife in hand, very pleased with the condition.

The main blade seems to be riding high, but if it didn't you wouldn't be able to use the nail nick.

Very nice redrider Is it a Valley Forge?

[1967redrider]

Yes, Valley Forge Cutlery Co., Newark NJ, Made in USA stamped on both blades, the (Circle VF) on the main pile.

Hey guys Miller Bros said I should post here as well and here you guys go, my first O. Barnett Pliers Tool knife with complete deep stamped Trade HHH Mark etch on main blade a very seldom sight. Hope you all enjoy, thank you very much!

Thanks for posting, this is a reference/text book example. Nice find!

Mine is very similar to those shown above, but no Valley Forge or VF markings. Instead it is tang stamped Sterling Service USA.

Nice knife, I have now seen a VF, Case, Wyeth hwd. and your Sterling. Anyone seen others? Harold

B.L. says there's an H.Boker & Co's Improved Cutlery version too, and 3 different Case examples.

Nice one

Did you replace the handles?

Yes, when I got it it had a home made aluminum scale on one side, so I made new ones from a beef leg dog bone and dyed and jigged them. The plier is in good shape, many of them you see look like they have been abused to death.

Excellent job!
