Hey Gino - Here's a Utica that I have and it appears to have the same jigging. So, did Pal make the Utica or did Utica make the Pal? Either way, great looking bone/jigging. I'm with Dale, I like the Pal the best too.

Here is an oldie, Boker`s Improved Cutlery, any one know the date this marking was used on this one?

I was looking for the "Boker Notes" but could not find them ::shrug::

Thanks fellers. The bone is free from cracks and chips - very nice.

I sure would like to run up on one of those Jack Knive Bens/Union Stockyards. I really dig 'em. Look to be a really well made knife.

Thanks for the comments. It has been quite a while since I found one myself. Glad I started collecting 35 years ago.
