That is a cool knife!

Thanks Ike

I found it on eBay, paid a little more than I thought it was worth, but I figured I might not see another one.

Bill, wonderful obscure folder for sure

How long is it?

Here is a couple photos of a Jack I bought a few years ago on Ebay on sort of a whim. I liked the looks of the rather unusual jigged bone handles. It is tang stamped L. C. Co. Nicholson PA. It was, according Goins, a mark used by Lackawanna Cutlery Co. 1917-1921. I know Lackawanna made a lot of celluloid picture handle knives but not so many bone handled knives.

Nice full blades.
That knife is a beauty!

Thanks guys for your nice comments on my knife!!

Here is another obscure knife marking, at least to me. It is a Pavian Cutlery Co. St. Paul MN 1907-1920. I did a search on AAPK with just a very few results. According to Goins they were a wholesale distributor of cutlery, silverware and clocks. This opposite end pen knife is 3.25 inches.

Another handsome winner, Lloyd.

Very nice!

Nice one! Houston Price lists them as Pavian-Adams.1906-1920. Not many of them around I'd guess.Wonder who made it ?
