Thread: Oddball W&B

6/8 hollow point w/horn scales and interesting old repair.

Very little blade wear.






And a close up of the nail in the toe.




I'll fix that mess one of these days. Meantime, I'll hone it up and run it as is.

Very interesting indeed

Nice blade!

Now,,, you know Wullie, that you just posted those pics so you could show off your "pinning" skills.

Gawd! I thought mine was crude! I suppose it is! Let's see more!

Reckon those belonged to the same guy at one time? LOL

Clearly owned by a relative of my.. My pinning technique looks the same

Thats an awesome blade!

I love old fixes like that! I've got a William Allen with the 'cowboy hunting buffalo' scales that's literally held together with twine.

As for your W&B there, that is probably a regrind. A good one by the look of it. C.P. Wayne & Sons were a fine goods maker & importer in Philadelphia around 1845, which is too early for a blade that hollowly ground (at least I think it is).

Ahh, the old thread in the groove fix! I have seen it many times! I wish I had taken pics of things I have seen over the years!
