Another rummage sale find.

Post by dewman »

A nice little IXL George Wostenholm vest pocket knife. 2 5/8" long. Exceptional walk and talk. I found it somewhat odd that the main blade has such an extensive false edge though.

nice IXL dewey, the long swedge is to help prevent blade rub from the file blade, alot of old knives are like that.
