1906-1920 Pavian Cutlery Co. St. Paul, MINN

[QTCut5]

Obviously used and sharpened with minor blade loss. Aside from a bit of shrinkage and a few small scuff marks/dents, the handle seems to be in pretty good condition for a 103-114 year old knife. No obvious signs of any outgassing that I can find. After so may years it seems unlikely that it will start outgassing anytime soon, but I haven't owned it very long (only about two years or so) and I'm not sure if/how the humidity and salty ocean air where I live might eventually affect it and I don't want to take any chances on ruining a very cool old knife.

Not super strong, but OK snap with half-stops on both blades.

3½" closed length

I really like this one Q, as it is not a name you see very often. There are only a handful of mentions in the AAPK archives, and they indicate Pavian was a cutlery wholesaler. I’m sorely tempted to pitch you an offer but somehow groceries (eggs?) seems like a better use of the $. C’mon somebody buy this from Q so I’m not tempted!

Dennis, the sweet joy of owning this knife will last so much longer than the brief hunger you'll experience from going without eggs for a few days.

C'mon man...get your true priorities in order: it's ALWAYS knives before food...no exceptions!
