Desirable Old Dog-Leg Jacks

[Miller Bro's]

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?

[Miller Bro's]

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

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?

[Miller Bro's]

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

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.

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.

[ObsidianEdge]

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!!

[gmusic]
