My Camillus and Holub hawksbills. The Holub is an electrician's knife variant.

Nice knives, John.

I was completely unfamiliar with the Holub name and with the town of Sycamore, even though I am from Illinois. It is up in JerryD territory. According to Goins that knife was a one and done, made by Camillus in 1974. It appears that no other knives were produced beyond that pattern. Would you/could you post a couple more pics of it? I would like to see all the blades, thanks.
Lastly, welcome to AAPK!

Thanks, Ike.

Here is the Holub/Camillus fully open. Sycamore is near my old stomping grounds, but I never noticed Holub. Also shown is my other (spear point) electrician's knife for contrast, an 'M. Klein & Sons Chicago', not made by the electrician's plier guys, I suppose.

Hi, just came across a pocket knife I used as a kid some 40+ years ago. It's been in my tool box since then. It's a Saynor Cooke & Ridal with an ebony handle. Any information on it's age etc would be interesting.

These are maze knives.

Shug: Saynor, Cooke, Ridal-- Sheffield, England,1840-1868. Other Saynor partnerships, 1866-present. Looks like an old one but probably not able to date it exactly. Good luck, J.O'.

Absolutely fantastic, the wood on those covers is devine.

I'd never seen this pattern and in a 2 months time ran across these 3. Haven't seen any since. The end of the blade is interesting in the fact it's exceptionally blunt. Be a great first knife for a boy.

Here is an old Ulster Hawk with some great looking bone (imo), no blade snap, but what a classy look!

Very nice Keith

Almost a year gone by and no one has posted a knife??

Here's one you don't see every day.......

Sweet

Who made it? French? J.O'.

No maker's mark, most likely English.

You could reach around a corner and cut something with that one MB.
