Tom told me one I'd had never heard..
He called it ham handed. [emoji1]

I know guys that I say have hams for hands, you know, so big you shake hands and can only see your wrist.

"Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana."

I worked with a manager who would call over-tightening something "gorilla fisted". Originated with a guy that was notorious for assembling products that would become impossible to service without a breaker bar!

It was 'Ham Fisted', Mike! (an entirely different thing!)

Thanks Tom. I was guessing 1950 but I guess I can change it in my log now to 1940 to 1950. And it IS a thin sucker for sure.

Lots of info, right and wrong. Some speculation and fact here......

Oh No! I am wrong quite often!

If it was something I said, it would have been ham-fisted.
That's the guy who strips-out the drain plug. Breaks the door handle. Busts scales!
You know him!

I am sorry.

I wish my arms were long enough to reach.

See if your wife has a spare hug and tell her I will replace it when I see her.

Tom, one day I figured Burrell must have been a part of the Case family when I saw Ellicottville, NY was in the same area as Case & all the other Cutlery firms related to them. I have two of those C-Mon Blackie's & now I need to dig 'em out to see if they have that USA on the end of the tail. I have a Top Flight too & it's a nice razor. The Blackie's are nice also, one has some slight hone wear but no big deal.
Then below I have the family tree beginning with Platts, Case, then Platts/Case. The next pic shows Cattaraugus County that shows some of those towns where some of the cutlery's were. The last two are the chronology of events beginning eith Charlei Plattas & ending with Western Cutlery in Boulder, CO.
