I saw one on ebay where it was called a Sleeveboard.
Any info on this knife pattern would be helpful to me. Make a stab at its value if you care to as well.
Thx

No stab at value, sorry.
I believe the "Sleeveboard" shape was
patterned (
) after the ironing board used to iron shirt
sleeves.

I concur with Bill on the pattern name. Someday I will get him to concur with me?
As for value, it looks like wood handles? Has been well sharpened? Is it tight and walk and talk????? Other probems?? That being said it looks more like an equal end pattern, but I do see some differences. My guess is $60 to $100. But remember I don't know a thing about knives
and unless it is in my hands I can tell for sure, and nothing aint worth anything unless someone wants to buy it
Thanks for posting it. I love to see old knives.

<i>wood handles? </i>
No its Slick Black, but not so slick anymore
<i>well sharpened? </i>
Yes, very, and was roughed up a bit, Ive polished it out alot.
<i>Is it tight?</i>
Master has slight wiggle, other than that good and average snap
<i>walk and talk?</i>
Er ..Uh like a slow snail if any, and if it does talk, I cant hear it --HAHAHA ....couldnt resist hehe
<i>Other probems?</i>
somewhere someone abused the master blade and sharpened the tang/choir area too much. Pics show this.
<i>nothing aint worth anything unless someone wants to buy it
</i>
Now that burst my bubble big time LOL
<i>Thanks for posting it. I love to see old knives.</i>
Same here, I love looking at pics of knives. Helps me learn myself when others ask questions.

Your response was great, you are doing something that very few of us can do. Myself included although I am trying to be better. That is to READ THE KNIFE. You have looked at ALL the features and determined they grade and quality. This skill can be further enhanced once one learns the finer points of certian knives, techniques, companies and materials etc. El Lobo knows exactly what I am talking about I am sure.
This is an ongoing process. I hope to write an artlcle on this subject someday. Nice KNIFE,
