Belmont Cutlery -- 4 1/4" Cattle. Big Hunk of a knife. I have seen this shield on Cattaraugus, New York Knife, OVB HIbbard & Marshal Wells.
Any idea of whom may have made it?? I know some of you guys collect Big Ole Cattle knives & I thought you might recognized the Unusual blade configuration. All I can think of is maybe "Walden Knife Co" since Goins says its an EC Simmons brand. MANY Thanks for your help
Kind Regards,
Mark

Oh yea, that knife. I still have that one although a bunch have asked me to sell it. I thought you meant a tickler pattern knife. I'm glad to see that stuff your posting and selling.

Very nice old knife, Mark!

Neat pattern.

Thx Danno, I got a couple more that will be similar to this pattern. I like them a lot. If not mistaken some refer to this pattern as a Eureka right?
Kindest Regards,

Don't know much about this brand but seems to be made very well.

Here is a celluloid handled oldie from Johnson Cutlery Co. of Des Moines, IA. I found it at the NCCA show in Mystic, CT in 2018. Goins and Levine's Guide, 4th Ed. say they were only around for about two years (circa 1929-1931).

That is a nice find, Dennis, a new one on me. What is the length of that "old and obscure" beauty?

It's 3-3/8" closed Ike. More or less in what I think of as the sweet spot of 3.5" for carrying knives.

Here is one of the most appealing pen knives that i have. It is quite plain but well made and almost elegant with the very black ebony handles that are nicely rounded to give some 'body' to the knife. 2 3/4", both blades marked "James/Dewsnap/Sheffield" noted in Goins with dates 1850-1875.

Very classy old knife Roland.

Very nice Roland,thanks for sharing it

kootenay joe · Post by **kootenay joe** » Tue Dec 10, 2019 10:33 pm

Thanks for your kind words. What makes a knife 'special' is not just the looks. It is just as much the in hand feel and sensation imparted by blades as you open and close them. However we cannot share 'feel' over the internet, yet.
