JUST KNIVES

[Gone2Three]

Good job, Randall. Nice to dig into the history of them.

My Dad had one of those. Haven't seen it in 20 something years. Might have to see if it is still with some of his things I have packed away.

I'd be curious to see it Bill, even more so seeing that your dad owned it

I gave my Grandson a pocket knife from my Dad and one from my wife's Dad. We are having a dinner for him Thursday night to celebrate his 27th birthday on Friday. I'll try to get him to bring them over so I can take some pictures of them. I'd kinda like to see them again myself.

As promised a while back on the late nighters thread is some pictures of the Camillus pilots knife I picked up.

After clean up:





Also acquired an early Marbles Gladstone woodcraft knife from the same owner

The Woodcraft knife was made with PAT'D 1916 USA stamped on the rear ricasso from 1916 through 1925 or so. A round pommel was used until 1923, when it was replaced by a tear drop shaped pommel. The large 1/2" nut was also used only until 1923, when it was replaced by the small 3/8" nut.

So this one likely dates 1923-25 give or take. Came with the original sheath which is still in great condition

Only needed a little cleaning and leather treatment for the stacked handle

Remington RS3333 scout

Been working on this ol' scout knife off and on for the last week.

It was listed on Ebay as an Ulster with a buy it now for $29 with free shipping. I pounced on it without even blinking as I recognized the acorn shield...not an Ulster but a Remington

Has some rust issues but considered it minimal for the price.

Here are the before pictures upon arrival , I'll post the after pictures in a separate post.

After cleaning and polishing...















Remington Arms Company began producing cutlery in 1920. Their plant in Bridgeport, Connecticut began producing Boy Scout knives in 1923, and continued making quality BSA knives until their cutlery division was sold to the Pal Blade Company in 1939.

REMC4A, BSA #1496, Remington #RS3333 The first Remington BSA knife, introduced in 1923. The REMC4A had four blades: a spear with short, thin nail nick, a smooth awl, a one-piece can opener, and a short flat blade screwdriver/cap lifter combo. The bolsters each had a single line, and a permanent shackle or bail was on the end opposite the shield end. The shield was the "acorn" style shield. The can opener had a vertical pull, so there was a notch in the shield side handle to accomodate the vertical pull. Beautiful brown bone handles, brass milling on the spine, brass liners and lined nickel silver bolsters. This knife was produced between 1923-1924.

Cleaned up great, has some minor pitting but overall was in fantastic condition for its age!

I'm finally getting around to posting the knives I gave my Grandson. The yellow one belonged to my Dad and the brown was my Father-in-law's. Grandson brought them over the other day to let me take the pictures. I'm not going to clean them up, he can do that, or leave them as they were left to me.

Thanks for sharing them with us Bill, they're a couple of neat old knives

The brown stockman looks like a Kutmaster, but what brand is the yellow jack knife?

Also a note on your dad's...it looks like the celluloid has started to break down (outgassing) so if he has it with other knives might want to separate it from them....

 

[BillR]

Thanks Randall. I'll tell him.

The yellow one has no markings at all and the brown has something on the main blade tang, but I can't make out the words. It's too pitted and I don't want to mess with it. I put a drop of oil on the pivots.

 

[BillR]

You're right

Randall, I took a close-up of the tang stamp and blew it up on my phone. It kinda does look like Kutmaster, Utica NY USA

The knife has a very distinctive long pull, well that and the jigging on the delrin scales was helpful in identifying the brand as they quit putting bone on them in the early 60's...



Your dad's could possibly be an early colonial, Imperial or hammer...but that's guessing here

 

[Gone2Three]

Score!

Randall, nice find. I plan on spending more time with the knives after we get settled into the house.

What ever it was must have been good, listing is now gone...

My new project, old equal end jack knife...

Seem to find some interesting "stuff " in the crevices of these old working knives :xzqxz:

 

[Gone2Three]

Boker USA, w/federal shield (pre 40's) looks like stag bone handles, brass pins and liners, ringed nickel silver bolsters. Research states possibly a late 20's-30's knife. A change in shape of shield from1940's throughout 50's

This one was a working man's (or womans) knife. Had what looked like old paint hardened in the nail nick and inside the the channel, along with pocket lint, dirt and field debris.

If this old knife could talk...

The tips were re-profiled on both blades, loss of steel either from breakage or regular use.

Had to reshape it just a bit and sharpen.

Great ol knife with plenty of life left
