Super little lobster Outcast. Many collectors would love to add that stamp to their Case knife collection.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Beautiful stag on a nice big knife - blade looks to be excellent as well!!! It looked like the blade had the old stove pipe or as some call it - "top hat" - kick too... Wragg was a very desirable old Sheffield maker - made some nice old Bowies too!!!

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Added these recently , the Hollinger and Capitol Cut Co don't seem to show up all that often, the NYK is a common tang stamp but I have seen few of these small teardrop's.

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
All those knives are NICE John
.. No disrespect buddy and just my opinion but not sure I would call them tear drops - I think they are Regular Barehead Jacks - to me the tear drop jacks have more of a curve towards rear bolster and a more rounded curved rear bolster (below just for comparison and easier to see than explain is a Challenge Tear Drop Jack for comparison that I no longer own - though it went to a good home
- hope you don't mind John and not for anything other than an example ... anyway love the bone on the Hollinger and Capital but in truth that NYK is really sweet (I agree with Dave!!) - great wood and very cool shield with sweet blades
... I think they are all boys knives - Are they all +/- 3"??? - that NYK would be a sweet addition to any boys knife collection - like mine

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
I don't mind at all Lee, love the discussion on all the knives everyone posts as I learn a lot that way. I did hesitate to call it a Tear Drop as the swell is not as pronounced as on a larger knife.LongBlade wrote:All those knives are NICE John![]()

They are close to boys knife size, the Hollinger and the NYK are around 3 1/4" while the Capitol is 3 1/2".

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Here is a odd one, marked on the main blade tang is Gilt-Edge Warranted. There is a patent date on the frame Nov 11,1884. Any help on what it was used for and who made it would be great. Mike

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Mike, that Gilt Edge is indeed an unusual one, and a great find.
I once (40+ years ago, and it was probably an antique then) had a tent repair kit that had an awl with a similar shape and hole like the secondary has. Made for repairing canvas and other heavy cloth materials (tarps and tents). Think of it as a heavy-duty needle, for pushing heavy stitching through layers of thick cloth. So that and the master blade shape makes me speculate it's for sail or tent making or repairing.
I'm probably wrong though. Where's Dimitri when you need him?
