All About Pocket Knives

Another one of my favorite all time jack knife patterns.

These have always appealed to me, they cost more to make and usually came with premium handle material. I like the jigged bone handle ones the best and stag of course

This is an old Clauss, blade is still etched.

Let`s see some more of these, peanuts welcome too

That's a great looking knife MB. It looks like the springs come around the bottom of the caps. How long is it?

Joe,

It measures 3 5/8" closed, the back spring comes up to within 1/8" of the tip of the master blade.

That one is the Cats PJ's right there

What a great example of old world quality MB! Thanks for showin us

Thanks for the comments

Here's an Ulster dog leg I picked up for $5 at the flea market in June. Someone other than me liked this one by the amount of wear on it.

Dimitri;

To me that Clauss looks like it was made by Challenge. What do you think?

No doubt about it, that is their distinctive jigged bone handles

Unusual to find a barehead dog-leg

Still a nice old knife, even worn down

I love dog legs. A hard working pattern back in the day. Here's an early Winchester:

OE, Very nice

Here is what a well worn one looks like

MB I would just call it well Loved

MB,

Nice! Same bone jigging. I've been told it might be Napanoch? I have another Winchester jack with different jigging.

Winchester bought out Napanoch in 1919, therefore you will see the early ones with the same bone jigging as Napanoch. I do not know exactly when Winchester stopped using this style jigging. However, by the 1920`s I have noticed the style was changed on some knives I have.

Probably due to their merger with Simmons Hardware. Simmons owned Walden Knife Co.

So you will see old Winchester knives with at least two different jigging styles.

You got a heck of a buy there Mike on quite a rare dog indeed! Loved seein it.

Ya, Mike, I will say, that is a very handsome knife. Your snagging some nice steel lately. Go MIke!!!

(Vikings will do that)

Thank you Perry and Joe!

Pacific/Hdwe.&/Steel Co. Stiletto blade etch Older knife Made by Napanoch. Nice old knife.

Stockman,

Stockman, that is a beauty. Man, look at the swedge on that main blade.

Good thread choice, Dimitri! Doglegs are often real beauties, and seem harder to find than most. Here's a 3 1/2" (1/32" under), Candle-end Dogleg from Schrade Cut Co.

And here's a choice of Clip or Spear blades!!
Empire made and branded those many years ago!!

Very nice.................

Love the Clip Point.

Thanks Gary!!
How's by you??
