2 Utica’s from the factory collection, the English Jack I posted earlier in this thread. Was able to pick up the whittler after years of following it around a couple of collections.
Nice pair!

This one has dark horn handles, unusual to find on a pallette knife.

Some real beauties here ever since MB revived this thread! I've posted this before. Lawton Cutlery Co. Goins says 1890-1895. Located in Chicago. They were importers and jobbers of cutlery. Possibly made by NYK Co. or Walden.

Great knives Mike L.
Nice one Dimitri , those palette knives intrigue me.
That a stunner Mike R , Walden did a lot of knives in Horn. Here's one I think is horn ? with what I consider one of their signature shields.
The broken Simmons I know is horn by Walden.

What is a good way tell if the handle material is horn, bone, antler , or plain plastic?
