I see two long pulls on that Challenge jtx, do all the blades have one? I have a few with main blade long, secondary a crescent. Not a problem, but I guess I like when they are consistent. Nice bone too. I love old Challenges.

Ivoryman, The small spey blade doesn't have a long pull, but it does have the same tang stamp as the other two blades. I got this knife from Jim Sargent many years ago. It is one of my favorites. Thanks for commenting on it.

It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, I was pleased to discover it among the group or lot of pocket knives and I did add it to my general pocket knife accumulation. It is a KEEN KUTTER, three blades, three tang stamps, 3 1/4" closed, two springs, long blade pull, milled liners, "stockman", pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp, VERY FAINT, has the KEEN KUTTER logo or trademark symbol and says, "E.C. SIMMONS (over) KEEN (over) KUTTER (over) ST. LOUIS (over) MO." The secondary blade back tang stamp has the KEEN KUTTER logo or trademark symbol and says, "E.C. SIMMONS (over) KEEN (over) KUTTER (over) ST. LOUIS (over) MO." The third blade front tang stamp has the KEEN KUTTER logo or trademark symbol and says, "E.C. SIMMONS (over) KEEN (over) KUTTER (over) ST. LOUIS (over) MO." The main blade has no half stop, but has an ok opening and closing snap. The secondary blade has no half stop and no opening snap. But, it does have an ok closing snap. The third blade has no half stop or opening snap, but it has an ok closing snap. This pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition and still has a lot of life left. I gave it a very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Looks to me like it has Stockman blades but in a Whittler pattern. (I never heard of speying a piece of wood.) Anyway, I'll use that as an excuse to post it in a Whittler thread, too.

Two winners there, Geo!

Thanks. I appreciate your input.
I noticed that many of the comments I’ve read on AAPK include some uncertainty about identifying Rogers bone. I’m as confused about Roger’s bone as I am about green bone.
Here is a page from a knife collectors guide by C. Houston Price & Mark D. Zalesky that lists the #1924 Toothpicks made in 1987. If I’m wrong then I’ll blame it on them.
