Super little lobster Outcast. Many collectors would love to add that stamp to their Case knife collection.

Hard to find the Case Manufacturing stamp.

Awesome score on the Wragg knife Dave

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!!!

David - All those Wabash knives are nice but the jigged bone sleeveboard is a beauty

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.

John, I like all three but really like the ebony. ____Dave

LongBlade · Post by **LongBlade** » Sun Oct 21, 2018 8:21 pm

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

...

Challenge Teardrop Jack - just for my opinion of a teardrop pattern jack -

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

Cool John

... no doubt I would call them all boys knives based on pattern and size - the Hollinger and NYK right on the money at 3 1/4” and the Hollinger at 3 1/2” would be considered the largest size of a Boys Knife according to the definition based on research of catalog cuts advertising them... very nice John - I said it once and will say it again - “you have great taste in knives and you have one fantastic collection from all I have seen for a long time now!!!” - great stuff John - I always look forward to what you find and show next my friend!!!

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

btrwtr · Post by **btrwtr** » Thu Dec 06, 2018 10:57 pm

Some really nice knives on this page. Mike that Gilt-Edge is over the top.

Mumbleypeg · Post by **Mumbleypeg** » Fri Dec 07, 2018 12:04 am

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?
