All About Pocket Knives

This particular EO pattern I have two of, this one has seen more use.
Once again no nail nick on the main. Nice jigged bone handles and cut swedge......
Dave

Another Ebony covered Bare headed Jack with pretty much full blades!

As stated above, I have a couple of this jigged bone EO pattern.
Here is a much cleaner example, the etch is still very visible/readable.
Says, FINZER'S TOBACCO KNIFE !!

Thanks peanut!!
That big leaf spear is also one of my Fav's!



Dave

A small 3 1/4" Jack, all steel with Cocobolo covers I believe. The NY stamp seems to be getting harder to come by so if the knife looks original (or minimal repairs) and has a readable stamp, I've been picking them up.

Dave

Lot of awesome knives knowtracks!

Dave I like the knife and continue to enjoy your beads.

Thank You Men!
Here's a splitback equal end Gowanda Schatt . This knife has seen a lot of use and a lot of love during it's life. Brown bone that has been completely worn smooth on the mark and just barely left a little jigging pattern on the pile. This old knife has spent many a year in someones pocket! Must have been oiled regularly for the knife to still have such a strong snap. Wonder how many times this knife has been opened and closed? Was it a worry stone for someone? How many times was it passed from Father to Son? Answers only an old pocketknife can tell....

Been a while since I've contributed to this Wonderful sub-forum and almost a year to this thread!
I've got a few old worn knives to add but first this Beauty that speaks of a by gone era.
A little 2 1/2" (including the bail) engraved sterling silver vest pocket knife.
N.Y. stamp, Clip main with a French pull, the secondary is a button hook with a manicure file in it!!
Just Great intricate work on this little Beauty! Dave

A well used equal-end cigar pattern. Spear main and Pen secondary with French pulls.
Nice jigged bone, Gimp shield, Brass liners and catch bit on a single spring.
Dave

A Coke bottle pattern that really spoke to me despite it's well worn condition. Not only the N.Y. stamp but also the OVERSIZED Gimp shield ! It reminded me of Charlie's SFO "Black Jack" by GEC.
Spear main (well what's left of it) with French pull and a well worn Pen secondary. 3 1/2" closed, Ebony covers. Still has a Gator snap!!
Dave

The last of these worn to death N.Y. stamped knives for this offering is one I WISH I could have got a hold of 120 years ago when she was in her prime!
A 4" closed Premium Stockman pattern. Pearl covers, coined liners and a Federal shield.
Unfortunately a tipped Clip main along with a well worn Sheepfoot and Spey blade, but the Pen is still in pretty good condition!
I imagine that in her day she was the pride of her owner, sure would be mine!!
Dave

The last N.Y. stamped knife for this offering is in Great shape for it's age!
A 3 3/8" Barehead Jack with some tasty jigged bone covers, steel liners, hammered pins and another Federal shield.
Dave

Wonderful knives Dave.

Thank You doglegg! Been a while commin!!
