Defunct Blade Shapes/Styles and Other Historical Oddities, Peculiarities, and Rarities

For the longest time I thought a corn cutter was for removing the corn from the cob. Lol

Howdy, Ted!

It does a decent job at that too, but you'll want to thoroughly disinfect the blade first.

You've got a good memory, Jack. I've posted about the knife a few times before.

Only for knives I reckon buddy, and who knows how long that'll last! It was one of those fascinating, but obscure, details my brain seems to be able to hang onto!

Name corrected! You'd think I would remember - you've corrected me before!!

I don't mind if you want to change the name Charlie, who'll notice?!

Oh I can’t wait to get back home to NEPA someday, I got all kinds of defunct and discontinued blade styles.

Curses to you oh twisted winds of fate that has me 750 miles from my beloved knives.

When I get home, when ever that may be I’ll post up some examples I have. Great topic TG

You sound like Odysseus Ted! Hope you're doing ok my friend

I sure hope you didn't try using one of them for that!

However dear, I got me one of dem new fangled corn cutters. Looks like handlebars for a pogo sick, except with sharp teeth

When I was working rebar on construction there was the straight wire on a spool to tie the rebar using pliers with cutter but then there was prefab wire with loops on each end were you put a small hook with spinner to quickly tie the rebar ,there was one guy that had the hook spinner on his pocket knife,now I don't ever remember seeing this again so I'm wondering if he had it modded or was there a rebar knife as the one I have not did a good job describing.
