Thread: A Wild Find

Love the butter knife !

Hmm, today I stopped at a couple antique shops, not a straight to be had, lots of swords though.
You guys come up with some cool stuff that is for sure.

A bit of Hess, imported to the US from Germany!

I just bought my second Landers, Flary & Clark razor yesterday, this one has the Gold wash "Universal" on it. I have the other one in my shave rotation. Nice Razors.

Here's a Shapleigh NOS pocket knife I have & one of their straight razors.







The last pic has Shapleigh stamped into the spine from top to bottom or from toe to heel.

Here is a Wade & Butcher hunting knife with Boone on the blade & one of my razors made by them.

Sweet, Steve!

Hey Tom, are those Hess razor hard to find? I ask because I have an Hesse receiver on my first FAL and would like to find a razor to go with it, the guys used to give me a bad time about the hesse receiver because they required more fitting than some, till I took the old beat up FAL and kicked their butts on the range, that's when I engraved Hesse "Match Master Supreme" on it.
Gets a chuckle still.

Hey Steve, how old is the W+B knife? Kinda makes me wonder if Western didn't copy their handle design a bit? First knife of W+B I have seen.

Thanks Tom
I still have a Wostenholm carving knife & fork, plus a Henry Sears carving knife & a Keen Kutter scroll or coping saw & razors to go with all.

Dave, I don't know how old the W&B knife is but we know it is post 1891. You can find W&B knives on the bay.

Here is some more Shapleigh, Steve. I have the same razor. Love that spine!

The original box to it is here with a hone and a paperweight.
