Re: Desirable Old Dog-Leg Jacks
Here's one you've probably never seen before. Not in any catalog I have access to, it has a long line stamp. No pattern stamp.
Forged on the anvil of discipline.

Re: Desirable Old Dog-Leg Jacks
Awesome lineup of dog-legs Keith ... They’re all beauties - sweet bone and ebony (even the celluloid one and that’s not my norm) but the first one with clip blade & full etch is top notch - doesn’t get any betterespn77 wrote:Some Remingtons

That little Empire is just plain beautiful, Lee. A very nice knife and nice picture too.
I dug out a few dog-legs from my collection.

Re: Desirable Old Dog-Leg Jacks
Thanks Joe ...
Joe - Three classic old dog-legs and like the variety of handles ... Guess the bone on the Queen is what you would call winter bottom bone?
Greg - Nothing like a big old Empire dog-leg ... The clip blade looks massive and with an etch - nice cocobolo handle too ... I can't quite make out the etch - what does it say??

Re: Desirable Old Dog-Leg Jacks
Thanks, Lee. Unfortunately those are plastic covers on the queen.
Greg, that Empire is a real beauty and a pleasure to look at.
Wow, James, a Honk Falls dogleg. I hardly ever see a Honk Falls. It was nice just to see the stamp.
What an absolutely beautiful knife. Thanks for showing it.

Re: Desirable Old Dog-Leg Jacks
Thanks Lee and Joe. I really like the knives that came from the Connecticut makers like that empire. The Sheffield cutlers that worked in those factories had so much skill. You can see the quality. The Honk also is made very well, strong snap and very solid.

Re: Desirable Old Dog-Leg Jacks
Nice Joe - I have to say Robeson had some of the nicest bone on their knives - consistently good and many had my fav of worm groove or Indian Trails
