to blurry to tell much but i am sure once its clean someone will figure out the age

Obviously, it's a 1729 Earth&Dirt Model, maybe 1730. They remodeled in 1730 and added another very small blade for cleaning fingernails. Then again, it might be an 1802, which added a screwdriver, flatblade, which I can't quite make out.

Good find! Thanks for sharing! Anything out of the earth or a wall is an excellent find!

Do I sound like an expert??!!

I couldn't tell until I took off my glasses, now it's in focus and plane as day. It's definitely a 1947 hoofmud remover. Some farmer probably lost it while cleaning the mud out of a hoof.

Just kidding. I had to do it.

Nice find, I love old knifes.

That really made me laugh sparky, I can't tell a thing from the picture, maybe if you moved back some or used Macro mode on your camera, it would help, thanks for showing your dad's find.
Nice to have a hunting partner and it being your dad, Priceless!!!

Don't feel bad, they are probably just subconsciously annoyed by the blurry picture and thus unknowingly compelled to be a (( . (smart @$$) Thats my psychoanalysis for the day. Nice find though, GL and HH.

Aw, I'm sorry ... I didn't reply as a Hater, I promise. I'm a nice girl. Well, a nice ole lady. :P I really didn't mean to come across as crass, only funny. Guess it didn't work.

I really couldn't tell much from the picture. Maybe if somebody could clear it up some, it would help.

Please apologize to your dad for me. I really didn't mean to be cruel.
