All About Pocket Knives

I have a knife in my collection that I can find no information on. It looks like a Quill knife. It has ebony wood handles. The tang stamp is "Smith & Edley". Can anyone help me? Thanks, Jim

Hello unc123,

Are there any other markings on the knife? I have never heard of Smith & Edley... You may want to post your question on the Bernard Levine forum. I would bet money that someone there would know something about this matter.

Thanks Brian. There are no other markings on this knife. I will try your suggestion. Thanks again

Hi there every1. As Iam new to the Forum please excuse me for the possible mistakes Ive could have made. Now can you please help me identify the knife Ive inherited from my father R.I.P. ? Thank you in advance.

I would like to see pictures of your knife. I collect quill knives.

That post you quoted is from almost 20 years ago. The OP has not logged in here in nearly as long.

Nexgen77,
I can see that there are some markings on your knife, but I cannot read them.
If you could please take some closeup pictures of the tang stamp and blade stamp, I believe that it will help in identifying.
Welcome to AAPK!
And also, let me offer my condolences on the passing of father.

Reverand, if you scroll up a ways there are clear pictures. Plus made duplicate posts, with pictures, in several different forums here already. He got a reply to the post in the switchblade collectors forum. The folks there recognized it and provided info about it. viewtopic.php?t=83853
