Thread: My Google Foo is pretty crappy.

Can ANYBODY find information on this knife maker?

L. R. Wilding from Pittsburgh PA.

Active around 1980 No clue as to date range.

I'll get a picture up in a little while

I've been coming up empty on my searches, only able to find images for 2 knives. Nothing else. No history, no story, notthing.

Not much help but from what I found Lynn R. Wilding made knifes from late 70's to early 80's, mostly from 440C, 154CM, and D2, a newspaper reports him as a former knife maker in 1986. He lived in Penn Hills, PA (an eastern suburb of Pittsburgh).

ITs still that much more than I had found. One of these days, you need to come visit and teach me your ways!

Some photos. With an overall of 17" and a blade a full 11 x 2 You can almost hear Crocodile Dundee just looking at it... Lets say it all together now....


.

Well, I dont feel like waiting for anybody else, so I"LL say it!

"THATS a knife"

How does it shave?[emoji12]

As far as I can tell, it sporting its original edge, which is certainly NOT shave ready! But its probably perfect for trimming your toe nails... at the ankle

I tried bladeforums, it wouldnt let me look at anything unless I signed up, and when i tried to sign up, it requires me to click an email link for verification, which they never sent. So, after 3 attempts to register, I gave up on them.
