While buying some old tools at an estate sale, I noticed this box of old butchers tools. I was told that these were the tools of the trade frome the 90 year old deseased owner of them. When I took a peek inside the box, I found it full of a who's who of quality brand knifes, so I bought it. Check out the stainless steel apron, and knives with names of "Old File" knife co., "I. Wilson", Sheffield England, "Lee", L. & I. White, etc. Some of them appear to have been sharpened to the max., but all are razor sharp. There are also 2 nice bone saws, with a box of new blades, that I will show later. I figured they do not make very many knifes with the quality of steel like these anymore, and they could be repurposed if nothing else, for the 10 bucks I paid for the works.

Edit: I added the rest of the pictures of the collection I purchased, as promised. The bone saw is a Pittsburgh-Erie 25 inch, with about 20 new blades with light superfical rust. The knife in the center of the saw is a "RH(PAL)36" WWII fighting knife, that required a few hours of cleaning by me. And the heavy duty meat tenderizer is a BARR Brothers, from Oakland CA. The rest of the knifes were in another box, which she gave me.
