Dont know the fruit knife makers; have no book on silver hallmarks.

A wonderful variety of vintage pearl. So much work went into those details.

I love the feel of pearl in my hand, very tactile. I learned that word on UK Antiques Roadshow.

Clements "farmers whittler."

That's a NICE one Lyle! Sort of surprised it only has the one bolster, though it is a pearl. I think the single bolster actually adds to the looks of the knife. Is this one 4 inches in length when closed and when was it made? Thanks.

It's 4 1/8" Roger , sorry. Contracted maybe to the Mills cutlers as they were known to make Clements ( high end retailer) knives. These are early stainless and were made less than 10 years after WWI. It's a sister to the other two stag examples I have.

It used to be we posted the lengths along with the mark and estimated dates when we posted pictures . Now you usually just get a picture with no information and may not even know it's mark.

A true beauty, Lyle.

Thanks Roger and Floyd.

I waited a long time to find one of these.

Empire made a two and four blade and they used Silver or Gold for the shield and bolsters!

Great find Dimitri,worth the wait I’m sure.

Here's one Dimitri: Empire pearl 2 blade with beaded sterling bolsters and original purse.

I have this knife and really don’t have any info just the paper that was with it if anyone has more please let me know
Thank you

If the top line reads "C. L. & Cᴏ̲", then it is quite
possibly CARL LÜTTERS & Co., SOLINGEN in 1922.

Beauty Mike, do you know who made it? I have Schatts and Camillus A Fields farmers jacks. He was an equal opportunity contractor though. I may have a Utica , I'll have to check.

A few more from the vault. Sadly a couple have broken blades but the pearl is intact. A couple of oddities:
the Schrade candle end lobster has one regular cover and the other is black lip pearl.
The other one has 2 J.A.Henckels blades and one I×XL blade! I was a bit puzzled about this until l noticed the back of the IXL blade was stamped LANGBEIN NEW YORK. Charles Langbein was a distributor and also a knife repair facility. Likely the knife was repaired by them using whatever blade was available. One of the bolsters shows evidence of work. Overall finish is very nice. The knives are as follows:
VALLEY FORGE.
BINGHAMS.
WAKHONSA.
SIMMONDS.
SCHRADE.
R.KLAAS PRUSSIA.
IXL/HENCKELS(4).

The rest of the pics.
JOHN S.HOLLER.
SCHRADE 2 COLOR COVERS.
W.H.MORLEY.
R.BUNTING & SON(circa 1840).

Hi Lyle ,
It was made by Schrade Cutlery .
