Let me pile on the praise, John R. She's a beaut.

Any guesses on what factory produced that OVB?

That really is a fine knife, JohnR. That nice broad clip blade is exactly what I like in a knife!

Thank you all, if I had to guess I would think Schrade Cut Co.

Great looking pick bone, that is one handsome knife! I am not sure that I have ever before seen the stamp on the secondary blade. That is a great pickup!!!

An old HSB 4 3/8" English jack, well used with pocket worn pick bone, thinking this one is Camillus made due to large shield.

A HSB Hobo knife, pretty sure this one is Camillus made also due to the butter knife blade profile. Little use, still tight to take apart.

Thank you, I'm pretty sure Camillus was the only one to use it.
