"Old Knives"

[Augie]

Love that Nagel, Augie. Cool catalog scan, Mike. Not my knife or pics:

Thanks Mike, seeing those blades really helps, you would think with the ability to change blades the knife would have weak pull and snap and possibly play but there is zero play, hard snap and 7 to 8 on the pulls. Someone really put some thought into the design.

Very, very nice Augie. You have posted some very nice Knives!
Great input by The two Mike’s as well!
To have a small collection of Nagles is pretty impressive when they are so elusive. Well done there Mike L.

Nice photo Mike R of the Blades and knife ! Interesting to see all blades except for the Clip have Long Pulls on each side and Clip just the one.

I'd love to CE and CF one in person. They look really cool.

Here’s some filler for the evening.
An early 30s Remington R6483.
3” flat, quite aged (sun?) on the mark and less so on the pile. All nickel and steel, tight, snappy and well used. Nicely taken care of over the years.

Here's a neat old Valley Forge MOP swell center whittler I picked up... it was pretty cruddy when I got it, always nice to take some grime off and add some oil to get a classic "snap" back into a knife Surprisingly it is bigger than most MOP's I see measuring 3-9/16'' closed The main tang stamp is a 4 line:

Valley Forge
Cutlery Co
Newark, NJ
Made in USA

Here's a poor pic I took when I visited the Wawarsing knife museum. They had a small Nagle display with a magazine ad and a few examples...

Yes that was Rich's display, the 4 bladed one is the rarest of that bunch. I've only seen 2 of them. Thanks for posting them. Mike

Thanks for that Glenn, I find it interesting that the original price was a dollar with 3 blades, I paid a little bit more than that today

Thank you all for the nice comments on this interesting knife.

Nice Valley Forge. Kevin!!

I hope you don't mind me paraphrasing your sig-line, Kevin??

"I'd be CALM, CARRYing this ULSTER"!!

Sweet 3 1/2" Jack, barely used, nice shield and wood!!
One of Ulster's nicest, IMO!!

Very nice Charlie, love that unusual shield.

That’s just darned gorgeous that Ulster Charlie. I’m going to post a bit later an old Wooden Ulster that will be the exact opposite to this Stunner.

Efcharistó, Un-Chained !!
Thanks John and Duncan!!
Glad you all like that Ulster!!

Parakalo Charlie waynorth ... always my good man

I had a day off yesterday and spent a bit of time doing my two favourite pastimes, Drawing and Knives, This lovely Catt needed some attention badly, I suspect heavily that Mike Roebuck has had his hands on this Knife and did the Paint Can test.

I wanted to take my time with this, it's a very nice Knife and didn't want to lose any more Blade at all, it worked out nicely with no length of Blade lost whatsoever. Its not always a good idea to modify Old Knives, but I think in cases like this that this is a needed thing to do, and if I ever pass the Knife on, I will share the information.

 

[pistonsandgears]

waynorth very nice Ulster, any idea what kind of wood it is, Rosewood perhaps?
Campbellclanman Nice job on the little Catt, If I hadn't seen the before picture I don't think I would ever realize it had been in Mikes clutches
Un-Chained I like the Remington pen, just something nice about a knife with tip bolsters.

Duncan, that’s beautiful work there, on a fine and worthy specimen indeed

Mike Robuck may not approve of this modification
