Thanks everyone! That blade has some pitting on it but that pattern is pretty hard to come by so I figured I'd better nab it. :D

Here’s a Camillus 72 with some Ebony and ivory . And a 4 and 1/2 inch D.S.&K. Dame,Stoddard & Kendall was a sporting goods outfit out of Boston . Have dates of 1880 to 1901 for this stamp. Could be off a little as I don’t know much about this one . It’s a solid,very well built knife. Very tight and locks up great .

Ebony and ivory has a certain rhythm to it. And the D S, &K still presents itself admirably.

Good stuff, JP, 2 exceptional knives, I like those a lot.

Joe (FRJ) will probably be checking this thread, I wonder if he has an old D S & K reel in his collection?
