All About Pocket Knives

Those look like they'l make you smile each time you take them out fonzie. Very pretty!

How about a jigged bone English Jack Knife stamped G.W.R. (Great Western Rail Road) on the mark side and John Brookes on the pile side? Working under the premise that this the same John Brookes that formed Brookes and Crookes that dates the knife to between 1835 and 1858. The railroad was formed in 1833, received it's enabling act in 1835 and ran it's first trains in1838. The Brookes and Crookes partnership was formed in 1858. No cracks and a nice spring action. Please excuse the bad pictures. Good daylight is hard to find this time of year around here.

Goodness that's a stunner right there!

Remington bone.

Dang, that Bullet is nice Mike!

That knife still is one of the best examples of that pattern I've(and others) seen.You got a real collector's gem Mike.

^ Spectacular!

I agree with all the comments on the Remington, It`s easily the best one i`ve seen ,beautiful bone !

^^ Wow! Rem did a great job with bone.

Thanks guys (and thanks again, Lyle). I was actually trying to buy another knife and ended up with this Remington instead.

Beautiful bullet.....difficult to find with that clear of an etch.

Very clean old Remington

Here is an old Electric knife with unusual jigged bone

don't know anything about this knife, or how old it is for this thread, but I like the bone
it has reshaped, missing tip that stuck out of the well so I shaved the tang, as I am fond of doing now, instead of reshaping the blade
I went too far this time, could have left it higher with the tip just inside the well, but it is still better than it was

This is great reference material. I have an old English jack Frame I bought empty because it was absolutely beautiful and had a blank blade made for it. Always wondered who made the frame. Larry Hayes (knife repair from Mpls) who did made the replaced blade thought it might be Napanoch. I compared the knife with these pictures and found a match, and the shield also is a perfect match to a Napanoch. Thanks for putting this out there.

Let`s see it!

Nice electric cut MB, it has a great ol' match striker to "match" the great bone
