Nice knives you have there, guys.

I have a Vic from the swiss construction-company BBC (not the TV-channel) my granddad worked for his whole life as a plumber. It´s in granny´s kitchen. When I go there next, I think I gonna ask if I can have it.

Kind regards
Andi

Beautiful definition on the AA Simonds knife. Is that a Kastor Bros? The second knife looks particularly long like a melon tester.

Just saw the Morely Brand to answer my question.

This one has aluminum scales which was quite an expensive metal at the time. The company made paints and varnishes.

Here's one that I gave away recently...unfortunately not in the same condition. It lost it's handles but is being given some TLC and will be used again.

A "New England Whaler" from Schrade Cut Co, Walden, NY.

The blade is marked Compliments of Arnold Hoffman & Co., Inc.

Glenn, Sorry that I missed your question and didn't reply earlier. I'm not sure but I suspect that they are celluloid.

That vintage Wenger is sweet. Celluloid handles?

That's a nice looking Bayer knife FES. I like the Toledo style scales.

I have quite a few advertising knives as this is one of my favorite collectables. Here are a few Imperial Schrade Frontier knives.
