Cato, according to Levine's the Jonathan Crookes knives were made from 1780 to 1827. Nice old knife, looks like horn handles. What a beefy backspring and tang!

Saw a Jonathan Crookes (pistol&heart)
in the 'Bay within last few days.
Looked pretty good but since I don't know enough
about them not to be duped I moved on.
I can probably backtrack and find a link if needed.
