Flea Market Find Roy Humenick

I like adventure and one of the ways I find it is at the flea market. Younever know what you may find there. Once you find an interesting itemand want to purchase it,you then must deal withthe merchant. Moreadventure. This story isabout one of thoseunexpected finds.

My local flea market hasa f a i r n u m b e r o fmerchants who barelyspeak any English. Many acquire their wares from bidding on vacatedstorage lockers.Their yield seems to consist of about 50% tools and therest are household items – shelves, furniture and kitchen stuff. Now theadventure is all about trying to find that item that is worth way morethan what the merchant has any idea about. One universal rule ofthumb used by merchants is, “Shiny stuff is worth more than the rustystuff.”

There is usually a lot of stuff to sift through, so some effort is required.Opening drawers, lifting boxes and climbing over stacks of stuff is allpart of the fun. There seems to be a constant stream of this type of warecoming in to the flea market. If you make regular visits to the market,you get to recognize new stuff when it arrives. The idea is to get to thatrare find before anyone else discovers it.

On one particular occasion I cameacross a rusty chef’s knife. It wasmade in France and had a verydistinct stamp on the blade thatlooked something like this:

Veritable BreswickSabatier Paris -FranceChef au Ritz

The blade was about 12inches long with the wholeknife about 17-1/2 inchesin length. It was a fairlylarge knife.All of the metallooked like it was thereeven though it had a coat ofrust over its entirety. Thehandle was cracked inseveral places and had seensome repair work. Whatdrew my attention to this knife was its integral construction. It had anintegral bolster configuration and even a tapered tang. It is really rare tosee these features in a knife these days other than in a custom made one.

I asked the vendor how much he wanted for the knife. He said, “Tendollars.” I asked, “How about five dollars?” He said no, and walkedaway. I examined the knife a little longer and asked him if he wouldtake six dollars. He kept his distance and did not respond. Then Idecided to get the six dollars out of my wallet and waived the cash inthe air. He eventually made his way over to me and snapped the sixdollars out of my hand. I thanked him and moved on before he changedhis mind.

I know what you are thinking, why did I offer him less? I would havegladly paid ten dollars for the knife. All I can say is that is what you doat flea markets. This is a case of a vendor only seeing a rusty chef’s

knife and figuring itsworth at what someonemight pay for such athing. I felt it was worthmore, and this is whatmakes the ordeal somuch fun.

Now that I had the knife,I decided to do a littleresearch. A quick search on the internet did not find much, but I didcome across a few discussions between professional chefs. Most of thediscussions appeared to be debates concerning the use of stainlesscutlery verses carbon steel cutlery. Each side had its pros and cons. Asfar as the stamp, one person commented, “Haven't heard of SabatierParis. I normally hear of Lion Sabatier orElephant Sabatier.” And anotherexp la ined "Veri t ab le b reswick"sometimes appear on eBay auctions andinevitably fetch sky high bids. EBay is notthe place for a good buy in carbon steel, asthere are too many crazy collectors lurkingaround.”

So I am feeling pretty good about my fleamarket find at this time. It might be worthmy time restoring this piece of history. If I replace the handle, it mightserve well in the kitchen. So I went about removing the old handle andsquaring up the handle area. I decided to use koa wood and stainlesspins. I fitted up one of the koa scales and glued it on one side of the tang.I then drilled a new set of holes for the pins through the tapered tangand on through the koa wood on the far side. The original maker(s) hadtempered the tang properly so I was able to drill through it luckily.After I glued the other scale on, I was able to use the holes drilled intothe first scale as guides for drilling through the second scale. I usedepoxy and pressed the pins into the handle.

Once the handle area was finished and the koa wood had a nice luster toit, I took a few moments to admire the knife. The rust was not reallyclose to a patina worth saving, and the contrast between the rusty bladeand the now nice handle was just too great. I thought I could just givethe blade a few quick passes on the belt sander, and that should do it.Well, I found out that the pits were a little deeper than I realized. Thequick touchup effort turned into a lengthy grinding job. Being a 12 inchblade, there was a lot of surface area to address; and the rust pits wereevenly distributed on all surfaces. There was no turning back at thispoint. I had to finish the job.

I ground through the pits and really didn’t have to remove too much ofthe metal. I moved to finer and finer grits until I had a nice brushed satinlook to the blade. The work was a little tedious given all of the surfacearea. This is definitely the largest blade I have ever worked on, and Ihad to move some things out of the way in order to swing this large of ablade around the grinder.

I put a new edge on the blade, and it cuts very well now. Some of thechefs, who commented on the internet about using this same brand ofknife, stated that they had used the knife daily for over 30 years. Theknife seems to have all of the characteristics that a properly forged andtempered carbon steel knife should have. It has a hard cutting edge witha spine drawn to a spring temper; and the tang annealed soft enough tobe drilled -a rare find indeed. And to think that I got this knife withouthaving to pay “crazy collector” prices for it!

Aknife is man’s earliest tool. It has evolved from a simple tool to a symbol forroyalty and to an art form. It is used daily in all facets of our lives and has alsobecome a protector of freedoms in our battles. The knife can be made of steelbut also stone, bronze, ceramic or other exotic materials.

The knife at our Show takes on a new definition under the umbrella of“anything that goes cut.” It can mean a corkscrew, a hat pin, a sword, apocketknife, scissors, a hunting knife, a military knife, an art form, a kitchenknife or a butter knife.

Our once-a-year gathering brings in cutlery enthusiasts from around the worldand with such excitement that we now rightfully claim to be the largest eventlike this in the world. All parts of the globe are represented at our Show withvisitors from Europe, Africa, Asia and North America. You will also be hardpressed to find a state in our country that is not represented either by a table-holder or a visitor. Interest in this cutlery world runs from the historical to theartistic. And in this realm you will see knifemakers displaying their products.You will also see suppliers of products that are used to make up the knives.This can be leather for sheaths, handle materials that are man made or natural,tools to make knives and art forms that are specialized to enhance the knifewith exotic material like gold and silver. The knife also presents itself to theartist that will use their talents for scrimshaw and engraving or to make knivesof artful expression.

As in all collecting circles there are specialists that home in on special arenasof a subject. See the displays that adorn the walls on the perimeter of therooms.These are truly museum quality displays. Enjoy and learn from them.

On Saturday we have seminars and demonstrationsthat will show the making of stone knives,scrimshaw, swords, culturally unique knives, skillsat knife handling and the making of knives throughforging. We will have it all at this year’s spectacular420 table all knife show.

As you wander the aisles of our Show, you can stopat any of the custom maker’s tables and examinetheir skill and craft. You can stop at the tables whereyou will find knife collectors selling their knivesand find out why that knife in your tackle box or the

What Can U Expect To See At A Knife Show?one in the drawer might look just like the one offered for $100. Furtherexploring will find many commercial knives for sale that are from Gerber,Spyderco, Buck, Kershaw, Lone Wolf, Case and numerous other companies.You will also see the latest knives being offered with new and innovativepatterns and opening mechanisms.

Don’t forget to bring grandma’s or grandpa’s old knife or the one you have noidea about and have it appraised for free at our Show. You never know whatthat knife you use to dig weeds might be worth. It might even stop you fromdigging weeds with it as has happened in some cases. Or in some cases youmight want to even upgrade your weed digger and attack those weeds with alittle class.

This organization has encouraged donations which are used for threepurposes. We have door prize drawings during the Show. There are somepretty spiffy knives given away to lucky winners. We also have a raffle onSaturday which anyone can enter. Most are choice items. And then we willhave our silent auction on Saturday. These are the extra special knives that aredonated to help fund our event and are sometimes one-of-a-kind knives orspecial collector’s knives. Watch this auction carefully and get involved. It islocated at the Club table, and anyone can get in on the bidding.

The idea for the Oregon Knife Show evolved some 36 plus years ago. The ideathen is the same as it is today. This is a fun Show. It is designed to beeducational, informative and a happy face place. It is designed to show off theskills and craftsmanship that are so much a part of the “World that goes cut.” Itis a once-a-year museum. It is a once-a-year art show. It is a once-a-year show

for people to share interests and get to see friends.We do not specialize in interest groups that arelumped together but instead randomly have alltypes of knife related merchandise on tablesscattered throughout the building.

And just like Disneyland, all the food here has nocalories.

If yours is an interest in pointy things or “things thatgo cut”..... Come join us..

Metallurgy Discussion GroupOver the last few years wehave had a meeting of theminds so to speak on thesubject of metallurgy prior tothe opening of the Show onFriday. It started out withrepresentatives from the steelc o m p a n i e s g i v i n gpresentations and has evolved into a discussion group on the subject ofmetallurgy. has agreed to head up this meeting. Thefollowing is Phil’s syllabus of topics for discussion.

Working with and using some of the new steel offerings.CPMS 110V- CPM M4 - Friction Forged D2 - N680,Elmax

Civil War Knife, Fork and Spoon CombinationRick Wagner

During the American CivilWar, as the fresh troops weremustered for service, theirrelatives and friends oftenshowered them with everykind of “necessity.” Most ofthese ended up tossed by theside of the road during thefirst long march. One itemnot discarded was the veryuseful pocket slot knife. Afolding pocketknife on oneside and a folding fork andspoon on the other; the twohalves slid apart to make avery handy set of eatingutensils. In later years thedesign continued and isoften referred to as a HOBOKNIFE.

The pictured knife, fork andspoon combination is an example of the Civil War variety. The copper locking knobs are oneindication. The spoon is made of German silver (a white brass) and the knife, fork andmechanisms are made of steel as you would expect. The handle scales appear to be rosewood.The knife blade is stamped in three lines UNION / KNIFE Co / NAUGATUCKThe fork is stamped UNION withARMYKNIFE stamped in an arc above it. Closed the combomeasures 4-1/2 inches long.

The Union Knife Company of Naugatuck, Connecticut, was founded in 1851. The companywas reorganized in 1877, but in 1885 the factory burned down. The loss was too much toovercome, and the knife business was abandoned.

There was another company called UNION CUTLERY AND HARDWARE COMPANY ofUnionville, Conn. There is no known connection between the two companies.

I’m looking at a little letter opener here on my desk. It’s a Bruslettoblade from Norway, not quite three inches long, on which a dozenyears ago I fastened a tine from a large buck taken off Look-Back

Point. Scrimshawed around the butt is “Stumbaugh Ridge 1958.” Theedge is very sharp.

As I look at it I remember how I acquired that antler. I also rememberhow I foolishly cut myself in the process and how I accidentally cutmyself many other times. I guess every time you cut yourself it’s anaccident -and foolish.

Remember how you’ve hunted for two days late in the season, it’s hotand dry, and the only track you saw was of a small deer that walkedright through camp while you were gone?

Well, we were coming down the ridge on our way out and decided totake one last look down over the point just at dusk. Right below thecliff we were standing on, and not a hundred yards away, stood two ofthe biggest bucks I had ever seen and a third not much smaller.

Everyone started shooting, the deer started running; and, it beingsteep downhill, there was a whole lot of missing. But in spite of all, thetwo larger were knocked down; but they finally came to rest downtoward the bottom of the canyon.

So, of course it was full dark by the time I got down to where one hadfallen; and while working with only starlight, I pulled too hard onsomething and managed to cut my finger with my two-bladed Western

folding hunter with imitation pearl scales. The resulting scar wasprominent for years, but I see now it has almost disappeared.

We lived in the country when I was a kid, so I had the usual number ofcuts and punctures from nails and broken glass one gets when goingbarefoot each summer, and the resultant bread and milk poultices todraw the infection out. I guess I have to count those as mishaps fromsharp edges also, but we just thought those were the normal hazards ofgrowing up.

Thinking of another time involving a sharp edge; when I was eleven ortwelve, a man hired me to keep edgings away from his buzz saw as hewas trimming grain doors. I hadn’t lasted a full hour when I reachedover the spinning blade and felt a slight tug at my arm. I had got tooclose to the saw and got a two-inch gash in my arm. My employmentwas ended with a quick six-mile trip to the doctor. Lesson learned. Istill have that scar.

At about the same age I was helping my sister’s husband make jackpine posts, and I was using a light pole axe to trim the small limbs off adowned pine tree. For some reason, a young woman who was helpingus decided to move the top of this twenty-foot tree. Of course I missedthe tree limb and hit my shin instead. This time we had to walk outabout a mile to the highway to catch a ride into town and the doctor.Another lesson. I still bear that scar, too.

You’d think a person would learn to be more careful after a fewincidences like this. There’s more.

Sometime around my thirteenth year, I was out in the corral one daymessing around with a rope. I was trying to do a little “cowboying.”There was a large calf in the corral; and as I swung my loop at him, heran right into it. I walked up the rope to him; and instead of looseningthe loop, I suddenly decided to see if I could ride him. I did – rightdown a barb wire fence with my arm hanging over it. It was quite sometime before I could put my arm down close to my side. When I wasolder, if someone commented on those scars in the shower or theswimming hole, I jokingly replied that a mountain lion had scratchedme.

As an adult in my forties, and old enough to know better, as they say, Inoticed a limb on a shrub by our house that needed trimming. Alwaysready with a knife in my pocket, I pulled out a little penknife. Takinghold of the limb with my left hand, I reached down with the knife in theother hand and attempted to slice through the limb. Instead of cutting

Sharp Edges’ll Cut Ya Merle Spencer

(continued on next page.)

Page 6

through the limb, the blade sliced right up the limb and peeled part ofmy index finger back. Another trip to the doctor. To this day I can’tclose that finger all the way when I make a fist. It still interferes whenI’m playing guitar, but so does arthritis. The music seems to come out,anyway.

Some twenty years ago, the power company had cut down a spruce treein the corner of my yard, so I had a two-foot wide stump I wanted toremove. I dug down about two feet all around it so I could cut the rootswith a chain saw. I had all the roots cut but one and didn’t notice that itwas rotten. That saw went right through that root and into my leg, justmissing the shinbone. This one took several trips to the doctor over aperiod of several weeks and a lot of soaking in Epsom’s salts at home.Don’t we ever learn?

Just a couple years ago I was repairing a window box for my wife.While using a cordless drill to make a hole for a brace, I drilled rightthrough the board and into my finger. I was pretty careful finishing thatjob after I got back from the doctor. Now that finger has a numb areajust back from the tip. Count me lucky.

You know, this treatise sounds like I have had cutting accidents quiteoften, but I’ve lived so long that most of them are spaced out yearsapart. I’m sure if I hadn’t been careful most of the time I would havelots more scars.

Just a couple weeks ago, I reached into my knife display case andpicked up a small trapper. To check the company name, I opened thespay blade part way. The name wasn’t there, so I let the blade snap back– right into the pad of my index finger! For several days, I made surethe band-aid was in place so I could practice my guitar.

When working with a sharp edge, there’s no second chance. It’ll cut yathe first time.

Sharp Edges (continued from previous page.)

Collecting cutlery is theart of accumulating, andthe side advantage ispiecing together thehistory of that which iscollected. In other words, Ilike and enjoy trackingdown the reason a knifecame to be. I have severalknives that tell stories, butmy favorite is an UlsterBoy Scouts of Americaknife that was given as a presentation award.

The knife was made by the Ulster Knife Company, Ellenville, NewYork. This is an Official Boy Scouts ofAmerica knife as can be seen bythe etching on the main blade and the official shield on the handle. Theclosed length is 3-3/8" which is referred to as the junior size knife asopposed to the larger 3-5/8" knives which are more common. The fourblades (tools) on the knife are a main cutting blade, a can opener blade,a combination screwdriver/cap lifter blade and a leather punch (awl).

The most striking part of the knife is the handle which is vibrant,genuine pearl slabs.This was a presentation piece to a employee of thescouting organization, and that may be the reason the knife has neverbeen used. The shield has red cloisonne fill in the shield which wasused only for special presentation knives. On the back pearl handle, inbeautiful black calligraphic style, is the name “F.N. Cooke, Jr.”

So the mystery began to discover the who and why of this knife. Thebook by William D. Murray(1937) filled in many of the blanks in the mystery of the person F.N.Cooke, Jr. This book is a rarity, and it took me many years to find acopy for my library. As near as I can figure, Mr Cooke was an activemember of the BSA from 1910 until almost 1940. The Ulster Knifeappears to be a 1920s made knife. It would seem logical that the knife

The History of the Boy Scouts of America

was presented in the 1920s, since before that Mr. Cooke was heavilyinvolved in the Boy Scout supplies management, from uniforms toknives. Ulster Knife Company became an official supplier to the BSAin 1923.

The book I have mentioned has one more treasure that helps in thehistory portionof this knife.That is a picturewhich showsF.N. Cooke Jr.i n a g r o u ppicture. Thispicture is dated1 9 1 6 . T h i spicture and thepictures of theknife itself tellthe story andh o p e f u l l yres o lv e anymysteries.

Let the exhibitor do it.Do not open more than one blade of a folding knife at a time.Do not block a sale table if you are only "window shopping."If you have brought knives to trade or sell, obtain permission beforedisplaying them at or in front of someone's table.Please do not interrupt or comment on any transaction.

Stay on I-105 west until the end (itcrosses over the Willamette River and then curves to the left).I-105 ends at 7th and Jefferson (when I-105 widens to threelanes, stay in the center lane to avoid being forced to turn).Proceed straight ahead, south on Jefferson, straight through theintersection at 13th & Jefferson, where you will enter the LaneEvents Center and Fairgrounds: 796 W 13th Ave., Eugene, OR97402, (541) 682-4292.

Check out ourwebsite for a Google map of our location.

Knifemakers from all over the U.S., and from several foreignlands, come to the Oregon Knife Show. You can meet well-known makers and perhaps order that special custom-madeknife you have always wanted. Prominent knife dealers areoffering everything from classic knives by makers long gone, tothe latest in high-tech and high-art cutlery from the U.S.A.,Europe,Asia,Africa andAustralia.

Hand-made knives range from solid practical hunting, fishing,kitchen and utility knives that are priced competitively withgood factory knives--though with that one-of-a-kind hand-made touch--on up to exquisite, investment-grade, fine-artpieces suitable for the most discriminating collector.

The Northwest is an important center of bladesmithing, so besure to note the wide variety of hand-forged cutlery offeredhere. Each forged blade was individually hammered-to-shapered hot by its "smith" or maker. Many have "Damascus" blades,built up of layered or braided steels of varying composition,then etched or specially polished to reveal the resulting pattern.

A n o t h e r r e g i o n a lknifemaking specialty ist r a d i t i o n a l o b s i d i a nknapping, as practiced inOregon in the Stone Age.Some modern obs id ianknives are made for use, andthey work as well as similarknives did 10,000 years ago.Others are fine art displaypieces.
