Goins, Knife World Publications. Thisexcellent reference is out of print but worth owning if you can find a copy. My stop-date for thisquick study was the American Civil War era, my mission at the time I worked on this project was tosupport living history efforts for that time period. Therefore makers active in the 1870s and 1880sare not targeted though many of the makers you see below were producing items then and sometimesbeyond too. The cutlery makers listed below could have manufactured folding knives only, razorsonly, both folding knives and razors, made other types of cutlery, etc and such nuances are rarelydelineated in my reference source for this project.The intent of posting this list is for you to be able to confidently date at least some razors and pocketknives you may encounter in antique stores, auctions, yard sales, etc and know what you’re dealingwith. St Geo, Mr Hunt, Prof Marvel, Dr Bob, RCJ, Delmonico, &c please feel free to add to the listbelow with your source info too where there are gaps.CLASP KNIFE &/OR RAZOR MANUFACTURERSJ.M.
