All Metal Handle Knives

[galvanic1882]

Here’s an oldie, Brooklyn NY company Lever Cutlery. Sterling handles have some dents but still a rare little knife. Not a switchblade but a lever opening knife.

Wow g, I don't think I have ever handled a lever opening knife. Would love to find one. Very sweet!

I have this sterling handled Keen Kutter lobster. It is a salesman sample, also with an etched pattern number, but, was unfortunately the victim of some bad storage.

That's a NICE looking pocket knife Dan.
It's a shame that it was exposed to harmful elements.

Recently this pocket knife joined my all metal handle collection. It is one of my "GRAIL" pocket knives. It is a CASE, single blade pocket knife, with a cap lifter/bottle opener. I haven't decided if I'm going to replace the missing blade guard/spacer in the handle. This particular CASE pocket knife pattern was manufactured by Schrade in the Bridgeport, Connecticut plant. I gave it a minor cleaning, took some pictures and here it is. The last picture is from a 1934 catalog and explains the three CASE wire handle/frame patterns. Now to find the other two CASE patterns. They are pictured here: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=3137&start=495#p879646

Thanks Dan, the fat spear is my favorite blade on the easy opens, I think I have about a half dozen now with that combo.

This is the most recent arrival to my all metal handle knives collection. It's another, THE W & H CO. - USA - NEWARK NJ, single blade pocket knife. According to the GOINS book, "c 1870-1959 Whitehead & Hoag was founded in 1870. They went out of business about 1959. This was an advertising specialties firm; the knives were made for them by a variety of cutlery manufacturers." It measures just a hair under 2 1/4" closed and just a hair over 3 1/4" open. It is completely magnetic. It needed a bit of cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is. The last picture is of an article I found in "The Dairy Record" from 1922.

The last two pictures are of the "fob" that was attached to the pocket knife when I received it.

ALL three are just a hair over 3 3/4" open. *** It needed a bit of cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

George Schrade had a ton of patents for knives! He was a real inventor.

Here's a see=through filigree knife by E. BERCIO, Firenzi, Italy. All steel, 3'.

This is the latest pocket knife to join my all metal handle knives collection. It's another, THE W & H CO. - USA - NEWARK NJ, single blade pocket knife. According to the GOINS book, "c 1870-1959 Whitehead & Hoag was founded in 1870. They went out of business about 1959. This was an advertising specialties firm; the knives were made for them by a variety of cutlery manufacturers." It measures just a hair over 2" closed and 3 3/8" open. This is the fifth of these "W & H" "fob" knives that I've acquired and it is the "Ugly Duckling" of the five. It needed a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is. If you like cheese, there is a history to the company on the handles.
