Beautiful bone, great pics too. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Thanks!

Thought I would share a resent find one a IXL Stag Folding Bowie & a Not so sure about the multi 10 blade.

A very interesting multi blade you have there, and I love that Wostenholm.

Some cool old knives on here - gonna take me a little time to thumb through all of the pages, but I plan too.

Wow!! Excellent!!

Thanks, Roger, Skip, WW, and Floyd. It has a blemish or two, but still looks good to me, and I like it. Appreciate the comments.

A blemish or 2 gives it some character. Very nice old knife there Ike !

Very cool stabber jack Ike!

Thank you, JP.
Thank you, Mike.

Here's a couple little old Gent's knives. A pearl, NORTHFIELD,(1858-1919) and a smooth bone, BROCH, N.Y.(c.1885). The BROCH is inlaid with eleven, tiny, silver stars. J.O'.

Nice pair, J.O.! That Broch is certainly unique, not familiar with that name. Thanks for showing along with that classy old Northfield.

Thanks Ike, Merry Christmas. The BROCH may be an import ?? If so, it's pre-tariff. O'.

Found a 1910 to 1930 Passaic Knife Co Newark New Jersey 3 3/8" bare end jack. Not a whole lot known on them. The bone jigging is almost a basketweave or herringbone jigging, I have heard it called New Jersey style. Knife is pretty much relic condition but still has a decent old look to it.

John R: That's a beauty, my kind of "relic". Levine says c.1920's, that's all. Lucky you. Merry Christmas. J.O'.

Interesting knife, John, l think maybe the first that I have seen.

From my small, but diverse library.

Beauties JohnR.

Kennedy knives, very cool folding Bowie.
Ridgegrass, very cool additions, love the Brock bare head.
Waukonda, that's a killer piece.
John R, same as it ever was, fabulous find, fabulous pick up.
Great stuff everyone. Great thread.

Skip, thank you for the information, that is the most information I have seen on Passaic. I don't think German made, at the time these were made they would have been stamped German, I see the box on the page you posted also states American. Goins has 1910 to 1930, Levine has 1920's, I guess it's just one of those obscure brands we never may know much about.

Thank you all for the comments.

You're welcome.

Here is probably one of my oldest Jack Knife Ben knives I have with the Napanoch double fluted punch blade. Most of the punch blades are stamped PAT,D 4/7/08 but this one reads PAT. APPLIED FOR.
