Village Blacksmith knives

[rust collector]

These were plain, hard working knives. I have a 9" cleaver, and have had other Village Blacksmith knives pass through my hands, so I went looking for some information on its origins. I found this article that I though might be of interest: http://www.watertownhistory.org/Articles/VillageBlacksmith.htm
I will try to supply a pic of the cleaver when I am set up for pictures later this week.

I bought a ring gun and I was surprised by its usefulness

Still waiting. I'm intrigued as well.

I will try to provide pics shortly. Meanwhile, here is a link to the Longfellow poem that speaks of the village smithy: https://kimmerer.com/under-the-spreading-chestnut-tree/

We're still waiting. (arms crossed, tapping foot on floor)

Dagnabbit, I'm a verbal guy trapped in a visual world. Hang on, I will see if I can conjure something up here. Cutting edge is 9 inches.

Big brother is a #10, and I suspect it is a Foster Bros but don't see a trademark. LOA is 20"+
