ENJOY!

Thanks '46. I kinda sorta thought it was the Exec. Whittler but wasn't sure. They are great looking aren't they. I have one in stag, but I sorta feel that the main Wharnnie might be a little fragile, especially the tip.

Well I tend to agree but I'm just collecting it, not using it.

This one's on the way to me from augustus88. I've wanted one of these for awhile now. The picture is his, mine don't look this good.

Very, very nice. What's the vintage of that baby?

Isn't it pretty TJ? He bought it used and doesn't know the age. The bone on the other side is smooth.

Man that is beautiful, Mike.

Possibly the prettiest Barlow I've seen, and a great picture …

Nice 'acquisition'

Thanks edge. I'm looking forward to it's arrival.

Ahhh but it would be splendid for splinter pickin'. I'm thinkin' one of the Exec's just might be my Christmas present to myself. I have one each of the fruit knife and the Riverboat Gambler. One of the Wharncliffe Whittlers would round out the group quite nicely.

Nice one Mike. I have a few from that same time frame I think.
I don't think they are very old, but they sure are nice and good users!

Here are a couple I got in the mail Saturday.
Notice anything unusual about one of them?

Dale

Dale,........that main match strike blade in the old timer is a John Primble Belknap.

wazupwidat?

You must have has your coffee this morning Joe!

Here is the back side of the tang.
Schrade actually made these for Belknap Hardware Co., the hardware distributor who owned the the John Primble name.

This ad is from the 1974 Belknap Hardware catalog.

Interesting isn't it?

Dale

Dale, I think it's very interesting! I like those tidbits of information very much. Always learning, and it seems we can count on you to challenge us with you welcome quizes. Thanks a lot Dale and don't quit. It's always fun!!!!!!!!

Also interesting is the term "meerschaum plastic" in the add. Somehow it conjures up the term "stag bone".

Came in Yesterday,

JWS
Nice looking jack, they are one of my many favorite patterns. GEC just keeps on making great knives.

That is a purdy one!!

That's a beauty JWS! I like these #56s a lot.

Here's a little jack that came in the mail today........ High Carbon Steel U.S.A. on the tang stamp.

Goin's says made my Camillus from about 1927-1940 for Sears & Roebuck.
Made with "Sta-Sharp" etched on the blade. (no visable etch remains)

Phil

Hey Phil, I love this knife! It's got that old world shape and I bet feel to it as well.
Nothin beats an older Jack pattern. Just one of the best IMO! Look at that jiggin too. Ahhh, the golden years Phil.

Ditto on what Singin46 said! I love it.

Nice scales on that one,Phil.

JWS,

I like ALL of the GEC's

Im with the rest here Phil, great bone color and jigging And I love the pattern too

Philco
