Great knife Mark.

First let me say sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place.
The tang stamp says Crandal or Crandol.

I have looked in Goins and Sargent and I can find Crandall. Not spelled with one L. I was looking at the PA knives post and the one Crandall I saw there had a different tang stamp.
Can someone please help me identify this knife.

I think it’s old but only by the looks. I thought I read someone did a reproduction Crandall in the 90’s with the long bottom C____.

Thank you very much
Steve

Recent acquisition. Her work days ended long ago, and she's been living out her retirement in a drawer. Tang shows remnants of a "WAB", then next line "Cutlery" pretty well intact, then below is the remnants of "CO". I'm thinking it's a Wabash. Pics with and w/o flash.

Thanks for looking,

That ol' girl is trying to be relevant and dignified and is well respected.
She was a looker in her day.

It's a good looking knife Steve. Lovely bones.

Yep, it's a Wabash.

Good old bones on that one. Here's the same pattern with celluloid and the arched stamp, 3-3/4". WABASH made some nice patterns. J.O'.

Definitely an old Crandall. The stamp may have been broken or the wear got to the last L. The modern made copies did not have such nice top grinds on the blades.

Now that's what I call walnut stag.

Here's one I just received: the mark is "Laufbrunnen", a mark by William Weltersbach. I thought it was bone (from the photos), but it turns out to be jigged wood. I put a little linseed oil with beeswax on the handles and they perked right up. I am debating doing anything more--if I end up using it, I'd probably slightly re-profile the blade--but it has character the way it is...
