Thanks Bill

I hope you post pictures of yours as well, would love to see them!

MB: Those are fantastic!

Ike: Thanks, I've read Follet. Not that one but I will. There's another book about the settlement of Australia called FATAL SHORE that really illustrates the misery the common English citizens endured if they got the least out of line. Sure makes one appreciate the freedoms we have.

Dimitri, that I Wilson reminds me of a LFC I have. The guard is big enough to be a weapon in its own right.
Very nice knives as usual.

A Crane Brand. England is stamped opposite.

I keep going back to look at the start of this thread, what a very awesome collection that you have, beautiful old knives!

Here is one I like, George Wickham.

Nice old knife, Ike.

Ike, thanks so much

That G. Wickham is a hard name to find and the knife is in great condition!

A few more for page three.........

Here is a 4 blade Senator with sunk joints, Jos. Rodgers, "Her Majesty", no England. Over 130 years of age.

John, some rare and very old ones in that group, thanks for showing them here!

Thank you Dimitri.
Here is another old ivory 4 blade Senator also with sunk joints. This one is little larger at 3 1/2". All blades are marked "W.F. Booker". There is on "Booker" listed in Goins, but LG4 shows "Henry Booker" Sheffield circa 1893, but no "W.F. Booker".
I do think it is a vintage British knife.

Fine knife Roland.

What a great group of knives posted by all.
This is the only farmer's jack I have kept over the years. I posted photos on Blade Forum a few years back. It's 4 1/4 closed with a folding Ivory budding blade. The master blade is stamped W.G. WHITING / 6 MARKET STREET / MANCHESTER. Likely a retail outfit. Look's like it was made in Sheffield?

Thanks for showing it
