Thread: Joseph Elliot Magnum Bonum

Mike T good luck with your blade she's a looker. I made an early bid on that one but got to rich for me. It would be a shame not to shave with her I don't think it would devalue it at all. Can't wait for the pictures. Congrats.

It would be a crime to not let that magnificent blade cut hair at some point.

I think you guys are right, it would be a shame not to shave with this one. I'm not skilled enough to hone it with the level of skill it deserves, so when I'm done with the custom restore, I will be sending it to one of the hone meisters here at SRP.

Might want to reconsider 'customizing' it. Collector's value is in 'original' IMO.

+1...That's a beautiful piece for a custom 'Vintage Original Restore'...JMO.

Here's a set of 4 in Ivory that I'm just starting the restore on:

Those need restored?!

I am having the case completely restored by an old world craftsman/carpenter antique restorer, and I am very slowly and carefully restoring the blades. My intention is to maintain the original finish and make them look brand new again. It will be a long project but when finished they will definitely be a cornerstone show piece in my collection. Each blade has a 'Hunting Scene' etched on the blade face along with decorative etching on the sides of the spine and the words "MAGNUM BONUM' etched on top of the spines.

It is unknown who the manufacturer was but these were retailed originally from " W. Carter, London". I have found very little information about this company.

This set came to me from an auction in France with the help of another member here on SRP...
