I always figured this knife came from England because the owner came over in 1890 and started a hardware store in BILLINGS MONTANA.

Two great looking vintage pieces. For that old they look fabulous.

This one's a dandy to chew on. It's marked only Sheffield England. A big 4 1/2" steel jack with some terrific bone and rat tail bolsters..

I second the motion, wlf. Absolutely a dandy.
Here's one I have wanted to post, but not having a camera, no opportunity. But I saw on the Empire thread that Barry had used his scanner to post an image of a knife. I had never thought about using a scanner.
Anyway, here's a John Copley & Sons, with a single 5 and 7/16th-inch half-saber spear blade (or is it a Eucalyptus leaf blade?), deep-stamped alongside the spine [TO STRIKE FIRE].
Is that hand-gouged jigging?
How to categorize it -- is it an English Jack, or too coarse?
It has a primitive aspect for me, and recalls William Blake: “...What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry?”

Here is the pile side of the John Copley & Sons with the 4-1/8th-inch Case 99 pattern that I have most often carried over several decades.
I find engaging the industrial and commercial use of the XX mark, which can be seen on the tang of the J. Copley.
