So long as we're discussing longish more or less kitchen knives... This one is not old at all and not currently in the kitchen, but still goes here I hope.

Looks like a fixed blade!

I have a couple of tool boxes full of old black knives in the basement. I'll haul them out one of these days.

The two extremes in my photos above, one a custom from ML Knives, the other a kitchen knife from an estate sale I got for a buck.

My latest addition just arrived, a Scarce Kmart model 1000s made by Ichiro Hattori in Seki japan.

This knife is beautifully made, absolutely the sharpest factory edge I've ever experienced.
It has no box but beyond that it's absolutely in brand new condition for now, I don't abuse my knives or use them harshly but I'll definitely be using this beauty.

It's hard to believe they were putting this much effort into a knife made under private label contract for Kmart, but these weren't exactly bargain priced knives either.
Even the sheath is pretty darn nice.

Dang Kmart was really putting in the work! I would have picked one of those up with no second thoughts, still probably would haha

Kmarts are pretty rare these days... their knives must be near impossible to fine.

This variant is scarce, but Kmart also sold this model 1000s under their SHARP brand which is far more common and less expensive.
If you can find one ( either tang stamp) for under $100 don't hesitate because these hover around $150 for the sharp and can approach $300 for this one, with the box of course.

The sharp brand knives are common enough, especially the rebranded Colonial Anvil brand knives.

I am liking this thread. Here is an odd duck- looks like it could have been seized by a crusader in the 1300s from an infidel, but it is actually made for releasing succulent slices of (mutton? lol....wait.... beef) from a joint, at table. I tried to give this to Duncan but he made the sign of the cross and stepped aside.View attachment 1920795View attachment 1920796View attachment 1920797View attachment 1920798

That's awesome. The profile isn't so different from this BBQ slicer I have in progress.
(actually it's nearly finished now but I'm sick and don't feel like going out to the garage to snap a more recent picture)

I wonder where that sway-backed paring knife is that I found in the kitchen garden of the old house when I was a kid.

That's an Olsen on top.

If you're ever looking to let anything go let me know.

I will.
I sometimes feel a bit like the dog in the manger about these.
Then I think, "Come any closer and I'll bite your nose off!"

Here it is some more.

Gorgeous, clean lines on this one. I bet the balance is superb, too.

My friend I only did so as you are so very generous and I could not accept that stunning Knife as a gift, I do collect these however as I think they are pretty darned cool ....

Oh man there are more but Carver sets are swaying away from Fixed Blades- but The Knives that come in these old sets are at time quite stunning
