(KNIVES) Let's see some sharp pointy objects

[robrinay]

Great little Helle robrinay. Is there any evidence of the former knife making glory left in Sheffield now?

Hard to beat an original Marbles Renault, unless it was in it's original sheath too! There's a reason they are called "Ideal".

Yes Mike they still make cutlery pocket and sheath knives here but on a much smaller scale than 'back in the day'.
Here is a link to the Famous Sheffield Shop where they sell them- there's a brief intro to knife making and a few other interesting things on the site, ( check out the Bowies for sale link).

Picked this up at a gun show last week.
Case XX 6445R Utility Knife (circa 1965-69)

 

[Renault]

V. C.
That is a great knife! Love that style of folder!

 

[mikespens]

Agree V.C., very nice and collectable too. I used to collect the XX USA time frame and at a knife show I was made an offer I couldn't refuse for the whole collection. Curious to know what you paid for yours but don't feel obligated to reply.

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

I paid $225.

 

[Renault]

Money well spent!

It's an iconic knife!

Gee thanks Robin!!!!. I really needed to see those Bowies!

As I said, very collectable. Nice find. Most brands offered a utility knife but none as nice as Case.

I have to admit I love Randall Made knives. Here are some shots of some of my favorites. Some are photographed with firearms. My apologies, in advance, if anyone finds that inappropriate for this thread.
