That's a real treasure, Dave. Thanks for showing it. How long is it?

Re: Holley Mfg. Co., Lakeville, Conn.
Nice knives Joe and Dave
Dave - my guess is that jack is bone handled as the pile side photo seems to show the remnants of the haversian canals associated with bone... and not seeing any grain usually seen with ivory...

Thanks LongBlade! You're probably right but I've seen some ivory that looks similar, depending on animal type and where in the tusk it came from. I guess I've been hopefully optimistic! But it's more likely bone.LongBlade wrote:Nice knives Joe and Dave

Here's a nice gentleman's knife.
The little vertical pen is the only blade with a half stop.

Re: Holley Mfg. Co., Lakeville, Conn.
Joe - do you know if the current Holley Manufacturing is the company that produces parts for muscle cars? I googled "Laka Villa International" and found this site: https://angel.co/laka-villa-international which then led me to this site: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/75 ... =discovery
Their concept is to manufacture and sell a customized, personalized pocket knife for the 21st century customer. Using a user-friendly e-commerce platform combined with just-in-time manufacturing technology, their knives will be launched under the Holley Knives brand and will take advantage of the proud Holley Knives history while delivering a knife for the traveler, the gear lover or the jack of all trades.
Basically they will be benefiting from the vintage name but produce a completely modern product.

Re: Holley Mfg. Co., Lakeville, Conn.
I drove up there last night. Big disappointment for me. I knew they weren't going to bring back Holley knives as we know them, but they did say "Resurrection of Holly knives".
