What a great acquisition! I love the built-in provenance that the engraving provides. We often discuss how we wish these old knives could talk - well, yours tells at least part of it's story right on the blade!

We all collect knives differently but that is one of the finest sores I've ever seen posted here on AAPK. Congratulations Dennis.

Dennis, I agree with Phil .It's a tribute to your collecting prowess. While you're out there in places I don't go, please keep me in mind if you see any farmers jacks .

I just found out that the maker, silversmith George Unite, has an entry in Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Unite
If you are a stickler for such things, note that the dates for Unite are off in Goins'. I penciled in corrections in my copy.
