Antique Iron Whale Flensing Knife
About the Item
From the days of Moby Dick, this heavy tool was used to remove blubber from a whale carcass. The triangular blade is cast at one end of a long cylindrical handle, the other end is wrapped in cord, and ends in a round wooden pommel. It retains a heavy leather guard to cover the blade itself. It has a wonderful patina created by actual use.

View AllAntique Wrought Iron Welder's Trade Sign
Located in Montreal, QC
This large double side Welder's Mask Sign hung outside a iron mongers work shop boldly visible for the coming and going. Supported by heavy chains the mask sign was eerie and a bit sinister and not for the faint hearted. The banging and trunking of metal being forged into their desired shapes, along with sparks flying through the soot filled air. You only dared to enter if you were ready to conduct business in the creation of your project.
