Re: Old Knives With Sheepfoot Blades
A couple from my hoard. An Imperial single-blade, and a Ric-Nor electrician/barlow.

Re: Old Knives With Sheepfoot Blades
One of my favorite EDC's, old KAB-BAR/UNION CUT.CO.
KA-BAR LOOM FIXER stamped into the (plastic?) handles. It'll get ridiculously sharp.
Makes my ticker skip a beat everytime it hits the bottom of my pocket.. .. ..

Re: Old Knives With Sheepfoot Blades
There sure are some nice knives posted in this thread.
MRB: Your Sperry & Alexander reminds me a lot of the old H. Boker knives. That's probably why I like it.
dcgm4: The Bannister you posted is a rare pattern. I have one knife that is made like that and refer to it as a "sleeveboard congress." I can't find a sleeveboard congress pattern shown or named in any books and was just wondering if that's what the SB in your picture's listing stands for? I've attached a picture of the one I have for comparison.
Also, your C. Leonard has some outstanding bone!

Re: Old Knives With Sheepfoot Blades
Did Schrade Cut Co ever make a blade with a match striker long pull?

Touche'! I missed that feature the first time around. I have NEVER seen a S.C.C. with a matchstrike pull. Thanks for bringing me back to the scene. Who do you think made your knife?

Match this one up with the other one and I think you have a pair of Napanoch stock man or cattle knives made for good old Jack Knife Ben.

Re: Old Knives With Sheepfoot Blades
Neat thread Dimitri. Thanks for starting it.
Sheepfoot and Wharncliffe are two of my favorite blades. I have several of each but most of them are newer knives so they don't fit Dimitri's "old" criteria.
I think this Pal Cutlery fits the bill. Right now the knife falls into the POS category until I can figure out what to do with the sheepfoot blade to bring it back to life. It has the best patina of any knife I've ever seen. I don't know how old the electrician's knife was that Dale modified to form this feller but I sure do like it. Same goes for this Glennbad Special. I'm really partial to this Ka-Bar Loom Fixer and wish I could afford a Case Loom Fixer. I'm going to throw in this Buck 315 Riggers Knife along with a Schrade Yachtsman and hope I don't get chastised. Two Barlows. A Prov Cut Co followed by a Ric-Nor Sorry Dimitri. I know I've wandered into that gray no-mans-land between old and new but my excuse is, I really love the Sheepfoot and Wharncliffe blade.
Maybe I should start a new thread for new age knives with Sheepfoot blades (maybe include Wharncliffe?)

Re: Old Knives With Sheepfoot Blades
Those are great Cuz! But please, please, please.....I've seen what you have single handedly done to the Camillus 72 market. I need two more Case 6 dot loom fixers to complete my set. Hold off for just a bit, for family sakejerryd6818 wrote:Neat thread Dimitri. Thanks for starting it.

Re: Old Knives With Sheepfoot Blades
I wouldn't worry about it too much if I were you. Those Case Loom Fixers are just a tiny bit out of my price range (or at least what I'm willing to spend).
