All About Pocket Knives

Here is an interesting old knife I picked up recently.
It was made by J.T. Mount & Co. Newark, N.J. circa 1885-1911.
A well constructed old knife with long nail pull on the master, half stops, and unusual jigged bone handles.

Here is what Goins Encyclopedia has to say about this company:

"J.T. Mount & Co. Newark N.J. c. 1885-1911. James T. Mount was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1845. He moved to east Orange, New Jersey in 1881, and about 1885 opened a cutlery manufacturing company in Newark, located in the Nassau Works. This works had previously been occupied by Charles Booth, and later Furness & Banister. He operated the plant for several years, closing it in 1905. Mr. mount died in 1921".

Anybody have any knives by this maker? If so post them here

Fantastic knife by a rare company! The bone reminds me of some old Holleys I've seen.

That's a great looking knife... really like the bone scales, long pull and swedge Thanks for posting it. s-k

Awesome knife D!!


I'll swap you a DOUBLE HANDFUL of 40 dollar sharpening sticks for it.

I can only dream. LOL

AKC, S-K, Willie

Thanks guys!


Willie,

Make that two double handfull`s of 40 dollar sharpening sticks and you got yourself a deal!


D

LOL, my 40 buck sharpening stones don't cost me anything but time. That's how much the state pays for the bulbs that I get the filaments out of. Be a HECK of deal for me and you'd never be out of something to sharpen a blade with.

That is a gorgeous knife.
