Here is a tiny gnarly stag weighing in at just 2" closed.

Tang stamp is "JAMES BODEN PATENT" in 3 lines. Blades still snap open and closed.

Goins ' book has this maker listed as 1841-1876 which makes this knife several years older than me.

What does the patent refer to?

Not sure what the patent refers to as the knife has no special feature other than being small.

I found James Boden listed in the 1857 Sheffield Directory as a spring knife manufacturer but could find nothing in reference to a patent.

If anyone has info on I would appreciate knowing.

What does it say out on the blade and on the tang?

Nice treatment on the pins!

I have this small pen knife, the blades do not have any reference to a patent.

I will have to look into this patent when I get some time.

At 4 5/8" this H&B hunter has some nice big pieces of stag.
