Thank You kind sirs .. .. ..
My photo does it zero justice.
But, at work, with a cellphone, under industrial LED lighting ......

You grossly under estimate your photography skills my friend.

Nice VOOS, Chris!

Century or so old Keen Kutter, and slightly younger Robeson. The bones that are the kind.

Very nice knives and pictures.

y'all pardon me for reducing the quality of this thread with my humble contribution .....
VOOS USA.

That's a very nice old Voos, Chris.
I think it's a great contribution that's is in good condition. If you carry that one it will serve you well.

Don't know how a sweet Voos like that reduces the quality of the thread. Fit's right in. Great bone.

Thanks to all who commented and glad you all like those two. Appreciate it.

3 1/4 inch perfect size for that style of knife, any idea of age. Whatever it is, great find.

I can only say pre 1940..I absolutely love it though.. thanks!

Nice find, Ryan!

[doglegg]

Ryan a sweet pick up for sure.

[New_Windsor_NY]

Really.....

Nice one Ryan!

[Stanwade]

Thanks fellas! I love ebony jacks...

[Stanwade]

Here's a McIntosh Heather with a broken blade I just picked up.. other than the broken blade it's not too bad.. it has alligator snap and no side play.. I haven't decided if I'm going to get the other blade fixed or possibly have someone make it into a single blade knife...

I suppose this qualifies as a barehead jack.

[Stanwade]

Nice Remington, Roger !

Cool knives everyone!

Here's a knife from Charles Lamb's collection (Chuko on BF) that I was fortunate to get from his son after he passed away. Innocent & Sons, 3 1/4 closed.

[galvanic1882]

That's a nice one

[LongBlade]

Very cool Mike ... almost looks like a folding dirk with a pen blade but obviously not a true folding dirk at that size... Was Innocent & Sons from Sheffield??

[ObsidianEdge]

Thanks Mike and Lee. Lees, yes, Sheffield. Tweedale's has a couple of references to Innocent and Son(s). Charles posted 1860s and late 1800s for when it was made.

Beauty, love those bones, and great back story. Congrats.

[ObsidianEdge]

Thanks. I've seen one other knife by this company and it also had long slender blades compared to what we're used to today. Can't beat that old Sheffield stag.

Really cool historical pieces, the knife and coins.

[Ivoryman]
