I often scroll through random threads looking at knives and every now and then I have to stop and say "woah. Thats a cool knife"

That's what I did here.

That's my Etsy store where I sell old knives and sometimes handmade knife accessories to support my knife habbit. Thanks for looking my friend. ::tu::

Great old knives Greg. The Case Bros. is interesting to me because of the bone. I wonder where they sourced that handle material.
You don't see a whole lot of Wostenholm bone handled knives. The two I have are favorites.
The first , I would think is about the same time frame as yours. I don't remember any other Wostenholms with the second's jigging.

Please don't open both blades simultaneously as I did , before I knew better, as you risk breaking the spring.

Not too sure what is jigged bone? Does this qualify? Just an old Jack Knife Ben.
