Anybody have any ideas about this old 2 bladed jack? Great bone handles, 1/2 stops, still walks and talks but lot of meat on the blades has disappeared. Is it a hardware brand made by one of the old knife companies?

Will Roll Bearing Co. circa 1920s. I've heard that some of its knives were made by Napanoch.

ObsidianEdge, Thanks for showing the picture of your friends knife! That one appears to be in great shape, where the one I found has a lot of blade missing. The tang stamps and the shields are the same. There is one for sale in HHknives here on the AAPK stores. It is a cattle pattern, mint condition.
