Thanks for all the comments,Tony Foster had that with Him at the Wilmington Ohio show 5-6 years ago,I tried to trade him out of it,with no luck.I wasn`t going to leave without it,so I paid the toll.I don`t think there are many of them around. Bill.

Phil, I think we need to count your knives. If you have that many knives with Rogers Bone, I wonder what the total count would be. I would venture to say that you don't know, lol.
These two are photos that AAPK member Carrmillus sent me and asked me to scan and post. They are a pair of Camillus four line stamped Sunfish sporting some gorgeous Rogers Bone handles. Left click on the photos for a better view.
One I'm fairly sure is Rogers is this supposed Remington I had. I sent it back because it had the wrong number and pruning blade. Wish I would have kept it for posterity's sake.

Here is a Pal Blade Co that I don't believe has ever been used or carried.
This is a different look at Rogers bone to see it without any of the pocket where we normally see on it.
The color is much darker than we're used to seeing and the jigging is very sharp and distinct because it is not worn down.
Here's a pair of Camillus 4 liine hunting knives that are both 7 1/2 in overall.
And a Camillus Whittler that measures 3 5/8 in. closed. There's are also, as you may have guessed by now, from the collection of AAPK member Carrmillus.
......joe, I've never seen one of these before!!......beautiful knife!!!....very unusual bail.......how old is this one????............ ..................
