Thanks guys. A friend of mine took the pictures years ago so that helps show the wood. It's just over 3 1/2 closed.

I like your Remington better than my knife, Keith! I have an Ulster two-blade stabber jack as well, but not as nice as your Remington.

Thank you, Lee. Yeah, that horn is nice isn't it.
It's a nice little knife at around 3 inches. 1910-1920 I think.

Here's one I have.
