Very sleek, and it looks like it is in great condition.
Just lovely!

You can tell that's very old. Real good shape too. That's extra cool.

I like that knife Joe. I like the slim look of the spay blade.

Thank you, Keith.

In spite of some sharpening both blades look pretty good.
It's nice to see someone took care in the use and the sharpening of this knife.
You just wonder how it got away from them.

That is gorgeous!

Love the saber grind.

I rarely see Thomaston knives and those i have seen had shadow construction or tip bolsters and plastic handles.
A bone handled Thomaston must be rather rare ?
Am i correct that most Thomaston knives have plastic handles ?

Edit, see post at top of next page. I was thinking of "Thornton" knives, not Thomaston.

Roland,
My experience has been the opposite of yours. I have never personally handled a Thomaston which was not bone handled. I should probably add that only amounts to ten or fifteen knives in over 40 years of collecting.

Ooops, i think i just had a brain burp here. The knives with plastic handles that i see on ebay are "Thornton" i believe, not Thomaston.

A tipped bolster, Mother of Pearl, pen. 2 3/4".
No half stop on the main blade but half stop on the secondary pen.
A solid little knife.
Thanks for looking.

Sweet pen knife Joe

Nice knife Joe, and a rare ole brand too

FRJ · Post by **FRJ** » Tue May 01, 2018 10:19 pm

Thank you, Lee and Bill.

Here's another pen knife with much bigger bolsters. Also at 2 3/4".
No half stop on the main blade but half stop on the little pen.
