Posted: Mon Feb 16, 2009 5:25 pm Post subject: My newest find and project
Just before Ian found the CS buckle in last show I found this knife.
I took the knife home and began looking it over and trying to get some
of the rust off. It seemed to have some writing etched on the blade. Well
after a few weeks of working on it and doing some research the story is
starting to come together. I've spent a good bit of time trying to fiqure this little broken knife out.
I just wanted to post some pictures to show everyone sometimes a treasure can be found in the iron you dig.
Some might say all the iron stuff is junk, but this tells a story to me.
If anyone has any information about this maker feel free to post it. I would love to find a non-dug knife by this maker
to compare them.
Also if I'm seeing things let me know! I've looked at this thing so long I could be way off on it.

What I think it says. I'm still working on the last line, but can
see a "S"
Brian, I collect knives but im not an expert , but just from the "feel" of that It looks like you have an original,VERY old and EXTREMELY rare "butcher" knife, GOOD FIND! _________________ NO matter where you go....there you are.
