krominix Report post Posted April 16, 2016 Found this at an estate sale and paid $15 for it. They didn't know what it was. Any one have any info on it? Link to gallery https://imgur.com/a/Z9taA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jasj Report post Posted April 18, 2016 I have a Blanchard knife exactly the same as the one pictured. Its original owner was a saddler from NSW Australia whose name was Charles Arnold. His father was renowned Sydney saddler Frank Arnold, maker of 'Bosca Saddles'. This was in the early 1900s. The saddlery was in Sydney near Randwick racecourse and Charles and his brother[also a saddler] travelled around to cattle and sheep stations repairing saddlery . I would estimate the knife would have been purchased new in the 1920s. It has been well cared for, with a nice ''ring'' to it, and it keeps a good edge.
