Vintage Central City(C.C.) Knife Co.Phoenix wood balloon bols splitback whittler For Sale

Howdy Folks,

A dark Probably African Ebony or could be Cocobolo wood handled balloon bolstered splitback whittler up for sale. This company was in business from 1880 - 1892, at which time they reformulated as Phoenix Knife co. according to Goins. At any rate, pretty much an antique, eh? Long pull advanced spear big & small, both snap 2 ways, and have no wobble. a small blade is snapped off above the tang, this would be a good candidate to fix, very rare indeed. Can be put in a collection, who knows when you will come across another, first one I\'ve had.This is a very old pattern, that had run it\'s course by the early part of the next century. Almost all companies stopped making it. All blades have tang stamps.

~ Good luck! ~
