Tommy, I used to go through Tupelo on my way to Columbus in the mid 90's. Had a project going on at the time, I believe we made some gun/knife shows in Tupelo, I do remember buying some nice knives...good times

I mite as well show this Pearl Whittler 3 1/4", it had to come home with me...

...that's just like the one I carry most days now!!...mine was a gift from greg and it has the old rogers bone handles!....i really like it!!......... ...........

A Camillus WW1 rope knife made for export 1915-16. Doesn't appear to have been used, just laid around all these years.

.......I like that one , bob!!!, I don't remember ever seeing that Camillus pattern before!!............ ................

Thank you Tommy...I passed on a really rough one 10-12 years ago. This is the second one so I bought it...

Doesn't it make you wonder what circumstances have to come into alignment for something like this to "just lay around" for over 100 years. Great find Bob.

Thank you Jerry, one can imagine all kinds of scenarios...I wonder if it will last another 100, that would be nice.

WelderBob a very special find there. Not mint but for a hundred years old awfully close. Great find and looking old knife.

Thanks' doglegg, don't believe I'll see a better one in my lifetime !

Tommy thats a Barnsley Bros, belonged to my grandmother. We think it was her uncle's, found it among her things over 50 years ago.
I would have liked to talked to her about it...

That's a great looking knife, Paul!!!

Sweet Paul.

Nice knife!

Thank you Vit.


I found another older camillus. Long line 67 stockman pattern (with no number stamped) and shieldless dark rogers bone. It has good snap, tight and full blades, all that stuff. Nice knife.

You're doing well with those Camillus stockmans.

2 blade jack,Swird Brand master and 4 line stamp on pen.Has holes for a shackle style bail.Very light use.

..WOW!!!!..what a beautiful old knife!!!!!.......... ............. ............

Whittler.
