Yes indeed. The man has an enviable collection. And Thank you for your kindnessAin't it so about Stuart's knives. I find myself doing that pretty often! And I'm glad to hear you are healing well Gev.
For Tuesday, I'm totin' two that I haven't toted before: an Edward Weck & Sons sleeveboard pen (1892-1943) and a Robeson SHUREDGE Pocket Eze dogleg jack (1922-1946). The Pocket Eze gets its moniker from the fully sunken joints (Weck's are semi-sunk).

Jack Black . Jack just thought I'd tell you about a programme this morning on BBC Radio 4 at 11.00hrs.
"A River of Steel" about the Sheffield steel industry. I'm sure you know more about it than the programme makers but it may be of mild interest. I guess it'll be on iplayer.
Thanks, Jack! Nice looking carry today yourself.
Magnificent Soup Bone!!!!
Thanks, Jack. I was conflicted on the dates. That date is from Levine; Goins says 1953. Needham, Veall & Tyzack are still rolling at the Eyewitness Works, Milton Street, Shefield, according to Goins. Any info that you might have about Needham Bros. and my knife would be appreciated
I could think of a certain contemporary manufacturer who could and should put their 14 pattern out as a Sleeveboard and why not chance their arm at tip-bolsters too? What a Forum Knife option that would make But uh uh, they stick in the mud with that one at least
Smashing knife !!!
I recently picked up a Parker lockback with a steel cover and I know that must be a real sweet folder.
That's a fine little knife, Pt-Luso, very fine. I've not seen one like that before, so thanks for sharing it.
A knife collectors dream, Stuart ! His heart is content and smilingFodderwing and Gevonovich , thanks, guys. As I've mentioned previously, I received my stepfather's collection of knives after he passed. He had spent a good bit of time researching and gathering, prior to the internet, I'll add. Each day, I dig a little deeper into what he collected, find something interesting to carry/look at, quickly try to get information on it (he left the regular knife books, but no notes), take some pictures, and post them. This thread is daunting, but I am very lucky to have the knives he left and to be here. Again, thanks, for the guidance and support.
