    Garage sale find

    Picked this one up for $2. Picture is as it was found. I could not see a maker's mark, but it looked to be decent steel with a stag handle, so I took it home. Careful cleaning of the blade revealed:

    J. Nowill & Sons
    Sheffield England
    Established 17xx

    I'll post an "after" pic when I get it cleaned up a dress the broken tip.

          OK, cleaned it up some, re-profiled the tip, and sharpened it enough to shave with. Subtle differences to be sure, but the knife is back in action and ready for Wyoming Whitetail.
