FALLKNIVEN. SWEDEN. "TK-3 TRE KRONOR Folder".

These superbly made folders are very popular and rightly so with their excellent 3G laminated steel and hand fitting.

REMINGTON. USA. "R1613 - FISHERMEN'S KNIFE"

For all lovers of vintage (antique?) slipjoints, this is from one of the great names of yesterday year. Remington knives were prized for their highest quality and edgeholding and favoured by many outdoorsmen of that time. Although still manufactured (now owned by Buck Knives) this knife hails from the 'Golden Age' of between the wars and would make lovely addition to a collection. Closed: 5 inches.

Genuine 1924-1933 model. Good cond. £75 inc. UK p&p.

IXL G. WOSTENHOLM & SONS. "2-Blade PENKNIFE".

A 'drop dead gorgeous' little IXL folder with its own original presentation box (unfortunately the elastic retaining loop has perished but could be easily replaced). This is from my own collection and I would guess dates from the 1950's-1960's. The jigged bone is extremely well done and with a lovely rich brown colour. Both the Clip and Pen blades have the IXL stamp on the tangs and a very  nice 'walk & talk' with both blades snapping open with authority. This is a very well made knife. Because of the small size - and the presentation box - I would class this as a "Gentleman's pocket knife". Closed:2-7/8 inches. Clip:2inches. Pen:1-3/8inches. Mint, unused condition. NEW PRICE: £150 inc. UK p&p

SOLD W.R.CASE & Sons. USA. " SLIMLINE TRAPPER -TONY BOSE '1999 YEAR KNIFE' ".

Not to be confused with the Tony Bose designs range of knives by Case, this is, in fact, the first year of the yearly Case/Bose Collaborations - which Tony personally oversees himself.

Having met Tony - arguably the World's best maker of Slipjoints - at the Blade Show, he was subsequently invited back to the Case factory, which resulted in Case then producing in 1999 the best knives ever to come out of that factory ! ( I know because I have owned Case Folders from "The Golden Age" and this surpasses them by far ! ). These folders are limited in number simply because of the high level of hand 'f&f' by a small group of the very best of Case employees, who were taught and supervised by Tony. The venture was such an outstanding success, that Case have gone on to produce a different pattern each year, again highly supervised by Tony - who actually makes the Prototype for Case to set up the tooling for production. This first model is still one of my favourite patterns of all the year knives and is of better quality than some Custom work I have seen over the years.

Mint, unused condition.

Jim Dunlap.  Semi-Skinner model. At the request of one of my customers for a non-locking Semi-Skinner folder, I approached Jim with the idea and he came up with the goods! ( I was so taken with the concept that I ordered four ). Jim has made these in a very practical size - not too small or too big. Closed length 4 1/8" with a 3 1/4" blade ( 3" cutting edge ). I can see these being very useful for either  Camping or Hunting as the thin blade of premium CPM154 stainless steel cuts like a demon !!  Jim has incorporated "half-stops" in the opening/closing action as a safety feature. I am very pleased how these have turned out. Great using knife!  New from maker.
