Case Ratcliffe's ...

[QTCut5]

John...those Ratcliffes are very cool...I've never seen that pattern before, what's the pattern number?

~Q~

[Tsar Bomba]

The "standard" Case muskrat is on a 47 frame but is stamped "MUSKRAT". If that's a factory variation, it might be a "MUSKRAT-W"? Or perhaps they revert to the 6247 model based on their usual system? I suspect that it's aftermarket, however. There's less of an 'arc' on most Case Wharncliffe blades and I suspect factory knives would have slightly longer Wharnies.

Those are some beautiful knives, regardless...

It's actually just a standard muskrat that I modified one of the blades into a wharncliffe ... our Jerry6818 came up with the nickname Ratcliffe, which stuck.

Matching green bone. Love this stuff even more after learning the factory burned and destroyed what was left of it. Priceless now.

Iman, as always...sweet collection. Love the Voos!

Here are a pair of GEC 54s. One in Ironwood and one in Cougar Clawed bone.

[bighomer]

Gorgeous knives j1890. ×10.

[philco]

That ironwood really pushes my buttons.

Have you ever forgotten you owned a particular knife then bought another one just like it ? That's how I ended up with these two "twins".

[bigbore]

Phil, if two are too much please email me

Nothing wrong with twins, Phil. It's always good to have a backup.

I was lucky to pick up one of the recently issued Maher & Grosh Kansas Cane Cutter patterns - it is very nice! Thank you Roger and Ken. I am very pleased with the knife

Here is a pictured pair with a comparable old Maher & Grosh. The older knife has no etching so I don't know if it was a Kansas Cane Cutter or another pattern. My belief is that the older Maher & Grosh was made by Miller Bros.

Roger, if you happen to read this... Do you think the older knife is a Kansas Cane Cutter or what the pattern is if not a KCC? The older knife is slightly larger and noticeably heavier. The spear blade on the older knife has a regular pull. No half stops on the older knife.

[peanut740]

Jerry,I believe yours is a Kansas Cane Cutter and they were originally 4 1/4".Miller Brothers quit making knives in 1926.The catalogs I have in that period shows the Cane Cutter being a sleeveboard pattern.No one makes a 4 1/8 or 4 1/4" sleeve board anymore.That is why used the ad out of a 1937 catalog because the Cane Cutter was a cigar.
Maher & Grosh used a lot of different suppliers over the years and one in the early 30's was Ulster and likely others.I won't completely rule out Miller Brothers,but I think it was someone else.

P.S.That is a fine knife!

[peanut740]

Jerry,here is a couple of photos of a sleeveboard Kansas Cane Cutter that I think is a Miller Brothers made knife.This knife belongs to a friend of mine.I have tried to relive him of the burden of owning it,but so far have been unsuccessful!
