Re: Desirable Old Dog-Leg Jacks
That's definitely a nice one Micheal(if I remember right). Nice to see you're posting.
I call that handle material pressed stag. I would like to hear other opinions.I believe it is die cast material??

The handle is actually bone. I call it early pick bone, some people call it snakeskin bone.

Beautiful Wadsworth, must have taken someone quite some time to complete that intricate jigging pattern.

Re: Desirable Old Dog-Leg Jacks
Most I have seen by the same makers have very similar design.I have heard it called snakeskin stag. I think it is pressed design.

Mr Sexton says it is for sure bone, I guess that means that bone can be softened and pressed in the same fashion as stag?wlf wrote:Most I have seen by the same makers have very similar design.I have heard it called snakeskin stag. I think it is pressed design.

Re: Desirable Old Dog-Leg Jacks

Re: Desirable Old Dog-Leg Jacks
Nice dog-leg Dimitri
... Nice bone and given the size and rear bolster I would imagine some would call it a “peanut” jack

Re: Desirable Old Dog-Leg Jacks
Beautiful knife Mike
... If you didn’t tell me those were pressed horn handles I would have thought they were celluloid - those symmetrical wavy lines on the handles sure reminds me of celluloid
Is that a characteristic of pressed horn ?

Re: Desirable Old Dog-Leg Jacks
`Thanks for the kind words on the knife. Sorry I was looking through the whole thread and saw some with pressed horn handles and that was what I was talking about. The Utica has celluloid handles. Sorry or the confusion
