Joe do you know if Wostenholms can be dated by tang markings other than before or after 1891 ?
Did W. still make top quality knives after WW II ?

I don't know how one would date Wostenholms' tang stamps.
I would guess my knife was made after WW II.
Is it "top quality"? Eh, not like their early knives.

For some reason yesterday there was an unusually large number of dealers at our local flea market with boxes of knives your choice for $2 or $5. I rummaged thru the boxes and came home with these.Top to bottom.
No name half congress with bad celluloid handles. Will rehandle this one with something nicer.
Atlantic Cutlery Germany swell end jack, missing rear scale. I think I have a piece of ebony for that.
Imperial EZ open jack with bail
Wards Junior stock knife, missing shield, should be easy to fix.
Colonial Scout knife

Also picked up 3 parts knives, 2 Keen Kutters and a Case trapper for a buck apiece.

Well whadaya know Scott. It's maybe the second or third time you posted that I have no interest in asking about any of those knives.
Looking for the magic penny!

Nice haul Scott, I like that little fixed blade right above the SOG. Does it have any markings on it?

Mike, that little fixed blade caught my eye also. The handle makes it look inviting. ::shrug::
Scott, those drawing knives might be something you could use with the boys and the outdoor skills they are learning. ::hmm::

I know.....it's purty cool and lightweight. The only marking is an 02 on the butt end of the knife. Seems to be professionally
done, not like a weekend warrior carved it.

Any ideas who made it? When I blow it up on my laptop I can faintly see fill marks....possibly homemade from a file?
