That first Knife was made from an old forged pair of cast steel Sheep Shears!!!! I have run across a few similar over 40 years. Ones I saw had Antler/Bone handles
Well, I thought I had something rare! Seems that a few people have seen this mod. Now I'm curious what the make is. Thanks for the input.
@@old_iron_axe_and_tool Many S Shears were made in Sheffield England and are stamped so. Some Early ones forged here. There was a few Cutlery farm implement outfits here in US that made them. Most you find are pretty rusty and stamping long gone. Some Blacksmith forged ones had no maker stamp. The one Legit American Plains Indian sheep shear knife I saw in Auction 25 years ago was awesome and pretty Rare. American Indians improvised many old farm tools back in Early-late 1800s.
If you need a plane guy then I'm your guy. The Stanley planes you want to look for in order of price are the No. 1 ($1000-$2000), the No. 2 ($200-$300), the No. 8 ($80-$200), and the No. 7 ($50-$90). The ridges milled into the bottom of some of the planes are called corrugation and Stanley created them with the thought of reducing friction of the sole on the wood. About 10% of all Stanley planes are corrugated and it does make them worth about $10-$50 more. FYI the corrugation does not actually reduce friction at all. I only know about Stanley planes because from a functionality POV all other planes are crap so I cant tell you anything about other planes. You may also want to look out for the Stanley No. 45, No. 50, and No, 55. You've probably seen them before they are very complicated planes with a lot of knobs and dials and the 45 typically goes for $45-$100, the 50 goes for $80-$200, and the 55 goes for $100-$300. I hope this was useful. (:
I'm assuming you probably know this already but that first knife was marked "Sheffield" and any tool steel from/made in Sheffield England is very commonly regarded to be the best tool steel to ever come out of the industrial revolution. I pick up anything that is marked Sheffield even if it is in poor shape or I don't have a use for it.
I spent the last two days cleaning up 9 hatchets. I stripped, sanded, stained a couple, linseed oiled, and tightened up the handles. I filed, sanded, blued, and oiled the heads. They are all mounted on the walls and ready to use
Great info on the dates. I did not know about the crown logo for craftsman. It is such fun finding and restoring the older stuff!
Meat saw. I’ve restored several Estwings. Hot wax the leather and buff. Hard as wood and last forever. It’s called a kitchen axe I believe. Tenderizer/ cleaver
The Craftsman plane is a corrugated bottom, as I never restore chipped planes but you can grind down the chip in front to make it even with the other side. It also looks like the tote and knob are plastic, I have a couple of very old Craftsman planes that have the rosewood handles. This week I found four axes and they will all take work to restore, like mushroomed heads, horrible grinds on the double bit blade, a Rexford boys axe, but I can see you have a lot of work ahead on them axes.
That little vise is a Wilton. I've got a bigger one identical to it.
I may be mistaken, but I swear I've seen a knife with a tang like that which had a jawbone handle.
I'm confident that it was modified from something else, but couldn't say what.
That unbranded boys axe I'm thinking a 1990's collins, the ones with the black paint and yellow scroll font logo.
That little vise is a Stanley handyman, the red and blue paint scheme gives it away.
I really like michigans myself, and especially that particular Honestead.
One just like that was my 1st axe, which belonged to my grandfather.
My assessment is that they're a very early production Mann era collins Homestead, early enough to still have convex cheeks but not too high of a centerline and the bits are quite thin.
I also have a Homestead western DB of the same era.
That one head that had the hole drilled thru , i understand that the U.S. Forestry service requires all the hand axes to be drilled and pinned , just something I've heard. Maybe someone on here can expand on this .
Definitely modified sheep shears for the knife. As far as that first boys axe or hatchet with the 1 1/4 or 1/2 M mark stands for Mann I believe. If you wanna sell the blue gba or HB axe I would gladly buy it lol. Great video’s absolutely look forward to watching these every time. Thank you!
Glade your enjoying the videos. I'm going to start selling axes soon, but I'm not sure if this one will be available. It's the only one I've got.
Totally understand that! Really nice find. They’re great I know it can be challenging to take time to make the videos but we all appreciate them very much.
on 23:22 .for the chop. For working with meat in the kitchen
The first knife you showed, the one with the weird tang, reminds me a lot of old shears. I guess it's a broken shear that got refurbisehd into a knife
I see what you're saying, interesting perspective. Thanks for the input.
I agree. I have one that I bought from a knife modifier who made it from a pair of old sheep shears. He added a deer bone for a handl. It turned out very nice.
I agree. It looks like a modified sheep shear. I have an intact sheep shear that is stamped with “Sheffield England”
The RLM is pretty cool that's my initials and was my Dads. If you found that in VA it's very possible it could have been his. He marked all his stuff
😮❤My Dad did too EN on every tool Elijah Napier our family came through Virginia with Daniel Boone FYI ❤
Oh and that last one! Union tool is what I think I saw!
I just looked at it again and I'm pretty sure your right. Good call. 👍
@@old_iron_axe_and_tool Nice haul and I agree with Mike. It definitely looks like a Union Tool Co to me.
It’s made from a pair of sheep shears
That little vise might be a stanley handyman
Nice haul
It is a butchers meat tenderizer,missing a thin metal cutting edge on opposite end
Yes a meat tenderizer
A guy in one of my knife groups posted a pic of a Sheffield knife that was really similar, I can't remember all the details but I remember it was like 1840s or earlier. I think for shearing sheep or something like that . Kabar and Case made kitchen knifes . They are cousins so they made a lot of similar stuff.
Are you in the Sierra Nevada mountains?
that split face hammer was made in the state of Maine..Saco is pronounced same as taco.. i am from Dexter Maine
That first knife is half of a sheep shear scissors
The knife with the odd handle is made out of sheep shears.
Greenlee makes hand tools for electricians. I also have a Greenlee draw knife.
If you can't find any information on the first knife. I'd call it the chew toy tang. Niiiice haul pal be safe
I'm pretty sure that was a meat tenderizer hammer.
I'm confused what the other side is used for.
@@old_iron_axe_and_tool I think it may have been used for busting ice.
What brand linseed oil do you use/trust
Ford whench is from model T or A set
Hi do you no how to sharpen a petrol lawnmower blade .hopefully you can help ❤❤
What flea market do you it up
Rex Krueger has a lot of videos on hand planes.
Oh I think that blue rafting(?) pattern GFB I believe is a Hults Bruk - I have multiple HB vtg axes and they use the blue but I could be wrong. And yea GF was shit until they bought SAW (Wetterlings) in the late 90’s
Knife could be made from 1/2 of a pair of sheep shears
27:20 looks like union tool
M for Mann Edge Tool Co possibly.
Witch one?
At 8:40
And 9:05
I have the Same Kabar chef knife mine is pretty mint and it’s exactly same as yours ❤
Nice. Good steel?
That. Knife. Is. Made. With. Half. Of sheep. Shears. Not. Worth much. $ 1
