All About Pocket Knives

Inherited these Holley knives from my Father when he passed in 1994. He was born and raised in Lakeville, Connecticut in 1923. The four blade was found on a school bus that my driver/ mechanic Uncle was cleaning. He worked for the Sharon, Connecticut school district. At some point he gave it to my father. The four blade has two unusual blades besides the master spear and secondary pen. I believe that one of them is a scalpel. I'm not sure about the hook shaped blade. It is 4" closed, has jigged bone handles, and pinched bolsters. This knife had a proud owner as evidenced by all tang stamps being easily readable and some of the mirror finish still exists. Very little pitting and beautiful walk and talk on all blades. Outstanding Holley. In 1933 approximately, my Grandfather took my Father to the Holley factory and bought the ebony handled two blade. He was ten yrs old at the time. He ended up breaking the master clip blade hence it's short length. Comments and information always a good thing.

Yes Sir! Glad to share and glad you enjoyed the history. I visited my relatives in Lakeville several times when I was a kid and never knew knives were made there until I was given the same history by my Father. I'm glad he did!
