at the hinge portion of blade, the words "shapleigh HWD Co, with an emblem in shape of a diamond, inside this emblem is the letters DE
the opposite side of blade has the serial #, I presume, "A109"
Is there anyone out there who can tell me about this knife?
I have 3 pretty good pic's of the knife, however this site wouldn't upload them
if so please email me,I will return your email with pic's in an attachment
Thanks

Hi Samuel,
Welcome to AAPK. Sounds like the knife is one sold thru Sharpleigh Hardware Stores under the Diamond Edge brand ( DE ) Pictures would help greatly in allowing folks here to clearly see what the knife is. Here is a link to a good free website for resizing pictures. I have used it several times to allow me to post pictures here on AAPK. Give it a whirl and see if it helps you too...............

MB, since you resurected this thread, I took some pictures too. I like the big old knives too, and it "feels" like you get more knife for your dollar, at the prices they go for.
George Wostenholm that has seen a lot of rope
Gottlieb Hammesfahr
Clarke & Shirley
Russell "Navy Knife" etch on the blade.
H&B
Wingfield Rowbotham & Co.

I guess a Toenail was a rope knife too. Plus a Thomas Turner, that I really like.

K-nice K-nife K-Willie. I'd seen those on Ebay and was a little confused by the stamp and the etch. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
