That is a very nice harness jack. Almost unbelievable condition for its age. I like the harness jack pattern but so far I only have one. They are hard to find!

Re: Valley Forge HJ
Excellent knife. I love that bone.
I'm a little surprised he'd part with one having such a nice etch.

Wow, super knife!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

That's a keeper!
A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

That's a super nice knife you have there.

Re: Valley Forge HJ
The info in LG4 indicates Valley Forge was a knife manufacturer c1892-1899, and that it was purchased by Boker U.S.A. in 1899. Boker then used the logo of VF in a circle for a line of knives they called "Valley Forge" made up until 1950.
Were the "VF" line of knives a more premium knife than those marked "Boker U.S.A." ?
And is there a way to date a circle VF knife within the 1899-1950 time span ?
Very fine OP knife. An original etch that is still full adds greatly to a knife's attractiveness.

Yes, the etch makes this quite clear.
I cannot recall ever seeing an original "Valley Forge" knife (1892-99).

Cal: I'm assuming he got that one from Roger Cunningham (peanut740); Didn't come from me. It's a trophy wherever it came from!

Re: Valley Forge HJ
Absolutely gorgeous knife
Re: Valley Forge HJ
As I recall the VF in a circle started to appear around 1916. It was placed on the back of the tang of the primary blade (pile facing side). I have a few Valley Forge folders without the VF in circle marking making them supposedly produced prior to 1916. Mine have straight line tang stamps Valley Forge/Cutlery Co./Newark, N. J. The secondary blade tangs also have three line addresses Valley/Forge/Cutlery Co. Lloyd
