Thanks for the kind words all.
Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
Time to bring this back up to the top with a few others... more to come as I get time ...
Here is a Griffon XX Bridgeport tip bolstered pen with nice jigging and a bar shield... also came with a nice old pig skin slip .... 3" closed length... I had a run of which some are posted above on some nice tip bolstered pens - funny how sometimes you go through periods where a knife pattern of my interest and focus starts landing on my lap (not literally) and starts another small collection focus... thanks for looking...

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
Lee, that is some sweet bone on your knife. All my pen knives are pyremite, pearl, or stainless steel except for this one. Remington R7713
Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
Thanks Keith ... Nice bone on that classic Remington pen... I have a similar Remington but a master with a pen in contrast to the manicure blade (I would have to look for the model # and need to get pics - but my knife has a chip of jigged bone off the pile side - sometimes at the right price you snag them anyway ... and don't hesitate to post any of your pen knives - I like them in all handle materials (well actually less than fond of celluloid but just from a collectors standpoint ....

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
While I am not a big fan of pen knifes, I have to admit that those are some beautiful examples.
I have 3-4 pens, and I do love the few that I have. I can't figure where you guys get the GREAT pens that you have.
Just keep on -keep en on...
Edit:
I have to say that lee's first posted knife is too pretty to be real... I declare "Shenanigans", and I think it should be posted to me for verification! All say I, and I say ...whatever... Great knife!

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
I only have a few pen knives, the one pictured is one of my favorites. It is a George Wostenholm, IXL Sheffield, with all metal handles. The metal handles do not take to a magnet, so they might be nickle silver? It is also the only knife I own that has maintenance instructions stamped on the back of the tang on both blades. It is stamped "OIL THE JOINTS".

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
Nice knife Olde Cutler - most likely a mid-1900s knife with the "oil the joints" stamp... Thanks for sharing!

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
You crack me up Greg. Your as bad as I am. All I see is the jigged bone in a picture. Hard to beat the old Rogers bone.
Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
Beautiful knives, Greg and Keith!
Greg, I believe I have the brother to your four blade congress. 1st pic. EDIT: Mine is a whittler ......
Keith, I love those Morleys. Love the little flower. Always a well made knife.

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
great pen knives, Greg, espn77 and Joe! I am especially partial to the pearl and jigged bone ones. Really like the 4 blade Empire pearl posted by Greg, second picture!
