I'll start us off-

Last month a friend of mine called me to say he had found this knife and wanted to know if I'd be interested. Needless to say- I was.

It is a burnt bone Union Cutlery Co, Olean, NY

Thanks Jack. Union Cut Co. is a good brand and I didn't have one with burnt bone handles.

I'm thrilled to finally be able to say- I got one! I have tried unsuccessfully over the last 5 years to get one and now I do.

It is a C. Platts' Sons Jumbo Swellcenter Easy Open Single Blade. I know not all the members of the ETCC are into the oldies, but this is a treat. It is a "giveaway" knife made for R. Ryse of Indianapolis, Indiana. I've traced them down and will write some of their history soon. The knife was made sometime around 1900- 1905ish.

Thought you might enjoy it with me-

Only now I'm in the hunt for the two bladed version with the R. Ryse shield... They are out there, just finding one will be a challenge....

Not really my latest purchase, but my Dad gave this one to me recently. It's a Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. It  originally belonged to my Grandfather who died in 1945. The knife has been in my family ever since.
