Vintage Mother Of Pearl (MOP) Knives

[wlf]

That's where I got that farmers whittler. I had seen it at the blade show and it matched the 2 stag ones I had.

I was sure hoping to get it.Never seen one before and within 3 or 4 months I had 3.

The 2 stag ones were gifts from Mike Losicco and John Lloyd. thanks again guys .

That Emberton collection was amazing. I looked at every knife in the auction, very impressive.

KJ - no, those are not my knives - way out of my league.

Took a while to get some pictures of the pearl on the new Keen Kutter pen I picked up to go with the pearl bartenders knife I've had for a few years now, but these turned out pretty well.

Beautiful MOP knives everyone. Thanks for posting them.

This is a R Groves & Sons Sheffield knife.

Great pearly knives, redrider and smiling-knife. Redrider, I really like that Keen Kutter bartender's knife, Sellens says it was made between 1927 and 1934.

Red, That bartender is very pretty. It is a great pattern, thanks for sharing it.

S-K, that has wonderful crocus polish, it looks to be a very high quality knife

Here is a Needham Brothers knife with the Repeat mark. I believe there is a Sheffield hidden by the bolster (can just see the start of the S?), but, I don't believe any country of origin on the stamp. The main blade is stamped with The Farington Steel Foundry. Searching the internet the only reference I could find to the Farington Steel Foundry is one from 1918 that says it was operated by Leyland Motors?

Sweet old Sheffield knife Dan ... nothing like old Sheffield knives to get the blood flowing

"STAR WARS"
This is what Mr. Chamblin named this knife. 3 3/4" frame has an integral ridge that runs from bolster to cap on both sides.
The light does not show the pearl well but you can still see it is a beautiful knife.

That Star Wars knife is unique for sure. Thanks for posting that, Joe!

Every knife posted posted is very nice, but I think that Redrider's bartender is pretty special too!

[kootenay joe]

Star Wars is one of the few knives i have that is not a traditional pattern. It's neat to have a knife designed completely in the artistic mind of the knife maker. The saber grind and long swage reminds me of a Jess Horn knife.
I have 2 or 3 other pearl knives from Mr. Chamblin. If i have not already posted pics of these, i will get them posted here.

KJ if those knives fit this thread, please post them here. There's no rule against posting a knife more than once.

Two vintage German knives: Griffon & Wester Bros. My picture does not show it well but there is a crisp saber grind on the master blade. It is one of my most favorite knives.
