Charlie has more?

Charlie always has more!

upnorth · Post by **upnorth** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 3:03 am

Well, I have one more (I think!).
The bone on this one is super - nice rich dark brown. I didn't have a pic, so I snipped it out of my display, just for you guys!!

Very nice Charlie!

You know, sometimes we get all caught up in the cleaned, not cleaned, original patina (whatever that is) this that and the other and the beauty of these old knives is they offer us a window into the past. They speak of times when a pocket knife (or a fixed blade) was more than a item on a shelf. It was one of mans few material pride and joys, a tool he relied on daily. He made his purchase, his selection with the utmost consideration to his needs. Those patterns that have withstood the test of time and are still being produced today. The Dogleg is such a pattern; one that some guy in a factory somewhere will be making in 2075.

From a collectors standpoint..............................original please, unmolested!

Gary, I hope someone is making them in 2075. And I hope someone is ogling the patina on my collection then too, and marvelling that: a knife could be 200 years old/who owned it/where has it been etc, etc.
Also, I hope that knife cleaning/polishing is an indictable offence!!

Meantime, I may be at the end of my doglegs!!
Someone else's turn!!

I wish I had more of this pattern. Here is my Keen Kutter in original condition. I think I have an old Hammer Brand NYK horn handled candle end dog-leg somewhere, I'll try and find the picture.

Paul M · Post by **Paul M** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 6:31 pm

found it! a sleek version of a dogleg with some etch still visible.

Two beauties, Paul!
That KK is the Champ!!

Paul M · Post by **Paul M** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 2:30 am

Thanks Charlie! I do love the shape of the spear blade on that KK.

Here are three of mine:
First is a Waterville Cutlery Co.with ebony scale(the other side I had to replace)and matchstriker long pull.Blade was in rough shape when I got it so I polished it and use it as an EDC occasionally.
Second is a Federal Knife Co Syracuse NY with green marbleized celluloid scales.The Federal is in an arc over the rest of the stamp.
Last is a Henry Wilton.This one is a bit unusual in that there is a swelled area near the back spring rivet(where most doglegs are smooth),the bolsters are threaded on both ends and the jigging is very fine on the undyed bone scales..Levine lists this brand as an import circa 1900.

Miller Bro's · Post by **Miller Bro's** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 11:33 pm

Nice ones shown so far

Ray, that Wilton is an unusual one

Here is an early Ulster, still has the etch on the master blade.

I'm reading that Ulster bone, Dimitri. It says "Nice"

Miller Bro's · Post by **Miller Bro's** » Thu Dec 23, 2010 12:33 am

Here is an Empire peanut

upnorth · Post by **upnorth** » Thu Dec 23, 2010 4:28 am

Keep those Dawgs and Nuts a-comin' Dimitri!
I have this feeling there are more!!

A well worn Miller, and a group shot of the backsides

Sweet knives, MB!

I found three tonight while sorting through our knives. In order, there is an Imperial, a HSB Rev-o-noc, and a Wards.

I had trouble scanning the first one. It is an Old Imperial and you will never guess by the picture, but it is actually a green & blue swirl!

I took some scans of other green knives. Even though some of the scans picked up more yellow in the green, I could still tell they were green.

Going back through this thread... I just have to say that I think I want to go live at Charlie's house!
