Nothing to be ashamed of here! Love the slim Henckles! What is the other one?

I like that knife a lot OE, its pretty cool!

Thanks Knifegirl and Gino. The other knife is also a Henckels. 2 3/8 closed, sunk joints, tiny swedges all neatly wrapped up in a small frame. (Trying to get used to Photoshop again after not having it for a few years but it's a work in progress.)

I like it!

Here is a Wostenholm champagne knife that we recently got.

Nice Wosty! I like that pattern. I only have two Sheffield knives and neither are in pearl.

Thank you! Bret & I are trying to organize our knives tonight. Even deciding the best way to do that, is challenging..

I picked these couple up today. Bottom my wife got a while back.

Top knife has no markings ?
Bottom knife is a Schrade - Schrade Cut. Co. Walden N.Y. - (straight marking c 1904-1946)
Bottom is a Robeson - Robeson Cutlery Co. - (curved marking c 1896-1922)

When I was putting the ones I picked up today away I found these - forgot I had em.

Top - Royal cutlery Germany 1914 -1954
Bottom - Keen Cutter 1870 - 1940

Gino,

Now that hunting season is starting to wind down in Western PA, it's getting to be gunshow season! Do you head out to any of them?

I never have but I always want too. If that makes any sense? One of these days i will. I heard there is a big one coming in Washington Pa. in a couple weeks. I might try to get there.

Bret & I almost always try to go to the Washington show. Last time we went, there were lots of good knives there. Actually, I think we ran out of money before we ran out of knives that we wanted to buy. It's quite a drive for us, but it's all on the interstate.

If you guys are gonna go let me know and maybe I can get my wife to get out there with me.
Thats the 15th and 16th. Maybe we can get a bunch of the PA guys here to go?

Gino,.thats a nice one!!

That would be cool! We never know which day we will be going until we get close to the date. I know I have probably talked with people from AAPK before at gunshows, but asking people if they are members doesn't seem to happen much, so everyone remains a face without a name. I think we should all have buttons or pins that identify us as AAPK members? Might make it easier to meet people that we talk knives with everyday..

Love the champagne pattern knifegirl

This is a little quill or sewing knife and a William Rodgers penknife

Wow! those are beauties SK. Love the bottom one, Nice pearl, bar shield and great bolsters.

I second that, Gino!

Smiling-knife, your knives are gorgeous!

Nice knives Steve

This one belongs in this thread also.
A nice little silver fruit knife.

Made in England, sterling blade, hallmarked.

Threaded bolsters and nicely carved MOP handles.

Thanks very much for the compliments MB, Knifegirl and Gino. That is a sweet little fruit knife MB.

This easy opener with mop scales is slightly unusual s-k

Nice!

Can`t make out the tang stamp
