Oh, that bareheaded teardrop!

 

[Augie]

Rachel, Jeff, Charlie, Steve, thank you all

 

[rockman0]

Augie you have rounded up some real beauties here lately, I'm in love with the Millers Brothers sheepsfoot jack

Here's a NYK Co English lockback jack that I've had for a couple of months. It was well used but still locks up tight with no side to side play. Makes a great folding steak knife

 

[Augie]

Thanks Rob, nice NYK

Here’s a neat schrade cut I bought at the end of last year and just got a week ago. I have not yet found the exact pattern in the catalogs.

Pretty good old knife, used barely and not sharpened. Half stops. Handles seem to be fostarene with a stag like jig.

That's a nice knife Paul, I can't recall ever seeing handles like that on a Schrade Cut Co.

Nice knife, Paul!! I have some similar plastic; not an exact match.
Do you know what years they used that material??

 

[waynorth]

Here it is, on a Schrade Cut, and a curved Utica! The Schrade is a salesman's knife, unused, and the Utica has a "lightning" punch!
The SCC writing has (sty) at the end. I wonder if Fosterene is Schrade's trade name for styrene plastic?

Look at how clean the grinds are on those blades. Not many knives these days are like that.

I can’t recall when it was introduced but they stopped using it when delrin came along. I’ve seen it on schrade cuts but seems like it was a bit more commonly used on 1950’s schrade waldens.

That’s certainly true. Not to knock any of the fine factory made knives we have today but they just aren’t as good as the old factory blade grinds.

I've lusted after that NYK Co. pattern for years Rob. Glad to see you scored one.

What do you all think about this knife I just picked up? (Other than the shield is on a little crooked) Both blades tangs are stamped Crucible Knife Co New York.

Nice Crucible, Les!!

Thanks! Not a long pull like most I have seen.

I'm proud of it Mike, of the knives I've gotten from Erik it's a favorite most days, some days I lean towards different ones
Thanks

I like crooked shields, adds character, I have a couple with crooked shields by different makers, when I look closely it appears intentional to have it fit the bone as flush as possible.
That's a pretty Crucible Les

Thanks Rob! I think it has some nice bone. At least with that shield I can recognize it easily enough.

 

[rockman0]

K K33ncutter I agree Les, beautiful bone
