Thanks for letting me kniw about [vintage american knives group] I'll be looking forward to checking it out! I also like vintage Bowie knives as well..........Afer collecting knives for going on ;into my 27th year ; I decided back in the summer of 2009 to make [hand forged-old school style] a couple of
bowie knives myself. It wasn't easy but I came to appricate the true hard work & craftsmanship that goes into making something like the very vintage knives I collect! The place I did this at was the [new england school of metal work] in Auburn Maine........I highly recommend it..........It could shed a whole new light on how & why we all seem to gravitate to mankinds oldest tool! Anyway keep hunting for the good stuff.
Technically .. I don't think this qualifies because of the manicure blade. But, Waterville Cutlery Co. ceased operations in 1913 .. and the blades still snap into place. ‘n the steel in those old Waterville’s is amazing. If you’ve ever the chance to pick one up .. do so !!!
Thank's for inviting me in ! I should be fun My primary field is collecting & admiring vintage knives
such as old pocket & sheath knives...older bowie knives .........You name it But I always seem to come back & focus on the old & vintage area of the knife collecting field. So ......anyway that's part of my story . Goodluck & Happy Hunting
Ooops! I made a mistake it's number 41. It looks a small knife, with a large letter C and in the C are the letters JS. The scales look like they could be made of bone. Number 18 looks very native American
I'm sure if you put your mind and talent in to it you could easily carve a stiletto. You already have more complex carved pieces in your album.
I see the hat on you photo. I usually don't wear hats, when I do it's in the winter in stormy weather or extreme cold. You have some very cool knives. I'll just mention a few the hat pin knife very cool I'd make mine a stiletto. Terrorist hunting permit I want one and an Illegal Alien hunting permit too. I like the forum knife. How can I get one? Did you make the knife in photo number 44? What's the scale material? Everybody needs an Italian Stiletto.
Hey J.J. How's it going? Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm a knife lover too! You really have your page fixed up real nice. I need to figure out how to get set up.
Thank you JJ. That's a nice sunfish you gave me there. Yeah, back in March I checked twice on our B'day Date and knew it was in April but had forgotten it was the day before tax day:) thanks for reminding me- I thought I was on top of it but evidently fell asleep :)
I got mine from a surprise box from CC. I have a lot of their knives , as much as I hate to admit it .I got started by watching their show. They do have some good deals every once in a while. I think that Jim Frost surprise box cost $20.00. Hen and Roosters are decent knives. They are overpriced sometimes, but if you watch ,you can find a good deal on them.
I think I have a Hen and Rooster that is the same as the one you showed on the spotlight article. I think the stag on mine is darker. I had forgot I had one until I seen yours. Great article. How far is Ballentine from Murrells Inlet? I have been trying to go to Murrells Inlet about 1 time a year to see my dad.
Hey JJ, I added some new pics, toenails, sunfish, a Camillus folder. You don't happen to have a model # for that boxcar whittler in your collection do you?
