Agree!

Nice one Cato ,those Schrades are one of my favorites.That bone on those is so distinctive and beautiful.

Any luck with that one I sent you pictures of?

-John

It's had handles replaced I think.I know there has been some work on it. It's still a nice knife. Another rooster comb.

A Field Progress (blades look like the last Camillus I posted )

I've shown an individual before ,but a family portrait of the C+ X Lockwood Bros.

Lyle, that A. Field is a beauty!

Nice Lockwood Bro`s collection too

Thank you Dimitri,it's no fun unless you share.
Wish I had more to share.

Lyle -- Of course you've seen the Remington Farmers Jack that's on the scroll today.

Some I have not featured.Different bone than the other I posted.

Ulster

NICE Ulster Lyle!! I particularly like the big crest shield, bone handles, etc.............................heck, I just like it all.

Hey Lyle, that one third from the left looks like ox horn. Sweet pattern.

Again,thanks Jerry I need all the help I can get acquiring these.(All who can help are appreciated)

Roger and John my humble thanks,it's fun to share.

John here's some of the horn covered farmer solo.She has a couple blemishes,but that doesn't detract from the beauty of those horn covers.They may be my favorite horn covers of all time!

I suspect her parts are all pre WWII,even the covers,which most Lockwoods I have seen have newer covers(I think??),although the parts are original factory.She has that golden age patina all over.

How many you up to now Lyle?

Another Lockwood(one of the 4 pictured above,not listed individually).It is stag with the rounded bolster,instead of the squared look.Both are rat tailed,as was common on most all these in early farmers jacks.There are a few exceptions.The only two I have are IXLs( I forgot I have a Cattaraugus),but I've see NYKs,Cat,Saynors,and J Rodgers.The Cat is pictured inthe 1st page of this thread.It has a different frame.

Counting the bad and the good ,old and new,Dimitri I have 32.Probably 10 of which many would not deem collectible,but I like comparing them all to try to learn something new.

The A Field was found for me by my friend John aka 1967redrider.

I miscounted late last night,sorry.I've had help Dimitri.

Bret & I had the pleasure of meeting Lyle & seeing many of these knives in person this weekend! It was awesome to see that many rooster combs at one time. Thanks, Lyle!

I could not believe the hospitality of Bret and Kathy,amazing people.I don't know how Bret ever caught Kathy though . Thanks guys ,and they showed me some amazing knives,rare jewels.I enjoyed myself,should have stayed another day.

I was so tired that afternoon I forgot to take any pictures,I hated that the most.

I enjoyed meeting and talking to Galvanic.Mike has some amazing knives also.

I posted this one in the Horticultural Knives thread because of the relativity it had with the previous posts there.I think it belongs with it's relatives here though.

I finally got around to posting this one that a friend of mine in Europe found for me. Ich bin Ihnen sehr dankbar.

I call it a French farmers jack. I t measures right at 4" and has a fierce pruner blade,and a mighty sheepsfoot? Stephan Theirs stamped on blade with P.T.T.73 on tang ????Any guesses or info on P.T.T.73
