Funny how that works in knife collecting - you don't see one and than within weeks a few show up ... What is the closed length of that knife Mike??

Sorry for the delayed response! Knife is 3.5" closed...or so. Only Bud Brand I have ever come across in person.

a Torrey jack from Worcester MA

For the longest time, this Camillus 3" Dog Leg Jack was a complete mystery to me. It has no pattern stamp, has a long line tang stamp and was made with the "good" black synthetic handles before Delrin®. I finally found a picture of another that had the pattern stamp 53 on the back tang. I've searched the catalogs I have access to until my eye's burned and don't find a reference to it anywhere. I've come to the conclusion it was only made for a very few years in a date range spanning very late 1950s to very early 1960s. I stumbled onto and acquired two of them and have seen pictures of one more. That's it folks. If anyone can add more to this little mystery, I would certainly appreciate it.

1st one
It was actually part of a two knife lot and I bought it for the 41 pen knife. Paid more for shipping than I did for the two knives.

2nd one

Pictures only

Here's an old Canastota. I have been trying to buy this one for a number of years.

Beautiful knife Mike

I'm not sure where to put this. It's not worthy of the Sheffield exhibition thread.
George Butler. From a friend that knows way more than I do. "Tweedale's book says the Butler firm dates back to before 1774, and GEORGE Butler became boss and namesake circa 1837. Butler's acquired the ART (in the oval on the pile side of the blades) word mark in 1861. However, ENGLAND dates this knife after 1890, and the high quality construction suggests before 1915."
Levine's says the KEY mark was from Steer & Webster 1867.

Beautiful knives, Mike and Mike!

The Canastota is very elegant with the black handles (ebony or horn - looks like a bite out of the pile side?) and the sabre spear blade.
The G. Butler is a fine example of Sheffield craftmanship, with very nice stag and in great shape for it's age.

Nice Butler, my kind of knife

Nice horseman's knife Mike

... Pretty cool it is all there as many don't survive as well... interesting that it has a glove hook or button hook tool as well - not sure I ever have seen a button hook on a horseman's knife - very

...

Very nice Mike, love that stag, thanks for sharing!!

Mike L, That's an outstanding Canastota. Mike R. Love the stag on that Sportsman's knife. Lee, I believe the hook blade on Mikes Sportsman's knife is a Bird hook, used for gutting & cleaning a game bird. This is a very interesting thread. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Barry

- perhaps that makes more sense given it was an all-around Sportsman's knife rather than a Horseman's (though both patterns share many of the same multiple blades and tool implements)... In the end not sure I see much difference between a bird hook and a button hook looking at one in another knife

1fartsmella · Post by **1fartsmella** » Tue Jun 26, 2018 3:00 am

Lee, The bird hook has a long shaft for reaching into the birds cavity. Button hooks typically have a short shaft, the length of a pen blade.

Thanks Dan, Dimitri Lee, Bill, Roger and Barry. It was super stiff opening everything but they are starting to loosen up a bit.

The knife itself isn't that rare,but with "St.Louis World's Fair"etch,I'm guessing there ain't too many floating around.
