Got another Hibbard Spencer Bartlett today. Blades are down quite a bit but still a nice knife. Good snap to both blades without a hint of wobble. Backsprings and liners perfectly flush at closed, half stop and open for both blades. When new with full blades would have been a great knife. Also a new HSB tang stamp for me.

Dan I'm going to have to disagree a little with you on that knife of yours. It didn't used to be a great knife.........It IS a great knife and one I'd be proud to have in my collection. Looks to me like the previous owner took excellent care of it and knew how to maintain a good knife properly. The quality is still easy to see.

Thanks Phil, you are right, it is a great knife. When handling it the quality is very evident.

Dan, that is beautiful.

I know nothing about this brand or much about vintage knives for that matter, but something about that knife (even just in pictures) just says "quality" …

Outstanding!

very nice Danno love the old Ebony folders

Thanks Edge and Paul. Edge, Hibbard Spencer Bartlett & Co was a hardware wholesaler who did not make their own knives. According to what I have read their knives were made by Ulster, Camillus and Schrade.

Thank you, Dan. I do find the history and "blood lines" of knives interesting, just have not pursued that side of the hobby … yet.

Appreciate the info.

You're right, Mike - once you start wit dat "lovin" stuff, next thing you know, she'll think she's got dibbs on some of your knives, and then the whole thing goes to hell in a hand basket … we all been there …

Keep it simple - you buy, she delivers.

Maybe don't even smile at her too much, just to be on the safe side …

Sweet Trapper, though - nice snag.
