Posted this one over in the Robeson collectors forum but it fits well here also. I bought it mainly for the jigged "green" bone scales. They look a little darker in the pics than they really are. Just picked it up yesterday.

Very cool old jigged bone MB. Nice addition.

Mumbleypeg, great jigging on that. Really pretty color and pattern.

Very nice hunter Mike,and that Camillus is nice also.It doesn't seem who made,if it's old,seems it's beautiful.I like Camillus' old bone.

Nice Robeson mumbletpeg,they had some beautiful bone.

Dimitri's firing out some nice German heritage.Dimitri I especially like that hand done boneand absolutely think that Ulster is stunning,early Ulsters are great knives.That Lennox is what I,and a lot of others term pick bone,whether it had any handwork or not.

Delbert ,I have bought similar knives just for the bone handles.I agree,I don't see how it came through without being more pocket worn.

Very nice! ::tu::
Isn't the jigging on the Cast Steel called "scratting?"
A very old method usually done by a knife or file, IIRC.

Some call it that, I have yet to see it referred to as such in any old catalogs.

Anyone care to offer a guess as to who made this old HSB toothpick?

Thanks, Joe

A few details on the toothpick:

Iron bolsters
Brass liners
Hand peened brass pins
5'' long
Long heavy swedge with standard pull that is IN the swedge
Saber grind

Maybe Schrade? ::shrug::
