So it's old...

bocephus Now that’s a knife (and the perfect background to show it off).

That looks like something the original Marines used for ship-to-ship fighting!

These were originally my moms, she gave them tome when I moved out on my own in the early 80’s. She had bought them in Germany when they were stationed there. She had other baking pans at her house when she passed that were older than these, they were embossed and I believe they belonged to my grandmother. My sister took those. They all looked like these, my mom baked a lot.

bocephus I have one like that just about passed down with elkhorn handle. The problem with mine though is over 45 years ago, someone I knew that was visiting did something with it & broke the tang off the blade when they grabbed it & did something not too smart. I have still been holding on to it all these years hoping to find someone that can weld that back together & I haven’t found them yet. Those old knives are very nice knives.

calldoctoday That one is a Russell “Green River Works”. I have another that I found laying on a table at a Flea Market, I think I paid the guy $20 for it, I think it is newer than the one that was passed down to me.

bocephus Mine is a home made or custom job apparently. Nice knife, nice handle, very old, but that person ruined it, until I can find someone that could weld that tang back onto the blade & then of course the problem is the elk horn has to be removed too. It looks like this knife was created literally from point to butt.

bocephus now that’s a knife!

)This is a knife that was passed down from my Great Aunt on my Mother’s side to my Dad, who gave it to me. Jonathon sharpened it when I won a knife sharpening and did a great job. PapaSop how’s that for a background.Luv it! Awesome knife as well. History and memories!

Well, I guess we’re all about the same. Everything has its place. Although I don’t cook with it anymore, has become a solid transfer piece. Grill to table.

We call that patina…

I use that word a bunch when referring to my coffee cups. LOL

bocephus nice, that’s somewhere between a large breaking knife and a sabre. It’s kinda hard to see with that big orange glare. Maybe you could take a better pic with a nice pleasing to the eyes blue background.

PapaSop Sounds like my strange thing where I do not like to wash my coffee cups with soap if I can help it, just a through rinse. I know that sounds strange & unhygienic, but I have always been like that & as far as I know, never got sick over it. Of course I used one cup for over 30 years until Margaret broke it. I had another just like it for 10 before that & the same thing happened. Hopefully this one will be it.

Yeah, soap rarely touches my coffee cup. Just a rinse. -

GWG8541 I think it is the perfect background, I use the knife for a few things but especially when slicing watermelon.

LOL. You and calldoctoday, get some sunglasses. That “Orange” glare is the way.
Blue is cold and I’m freezing my a$$ off right now. -

bocephus I bet its a perfect slicer. Just knowing who it came from makes that the perfect knife.

GWG8541 You guys would love it down here, maybe, for a while. We thought we were getting another round today of what we think is cold, but instead the weather did a flip on us & it has been in the 80s. I am not sure what to say. It probably is not all over yet.
