Nice dog-leg Dimitri ::tu:: ... Nice bone and given the size and rear bolster I would imagine some would call it a “peanut” jack 8)

Beautiful knife Mike ::tu:: ::tu:: ... If you didn’t tell me those were pressed horn handles I would have thought they were celluloid - those symmetrical wavy lines on the handles sure reminds me of celluloid ::shrug:: Is that a characteristic of pressed horn ?

Tsar Bomba - Great looking dog-leg - love that bone ::tu:: ::tu:: ...

`Thanks for the kind words on the knife. Sorry I was looking through the whole thread and saw some with pressed horn handles and that was what I was talking about. The Utica has celluloid handles. Sorry or the confusion

Here's one you've probably never seen before. Not in any catalog I have access to, it has a long line stamp. No pattern stamp. ::shrug::

Awesome lineup of dog-legs Keith ::tu:: ::tu:: ... They’re all beauties - sweet bone and ebony (even the celluloid one and that’s not my norm) but the first one with clip blade & full etch is top notch - doesn’t get any better 8) ::nod::

Nice looking Camillus Jerry ::tu:: ::tu:: ... I’m developing a soft spot for Camillus that has been coming on for a few years and for a few reasons ::nod:: - I am so easily influenced by nice knives ::facepalm::

That little Empire is just plain beautiful, Lee. A very nice knife and nice picture too.

I dug out a few dog-legs from my collection.

Thanks Joe ::tu:: ...

Joe - Three classic old dog-legs and like the variety of handles ::tu:: ::tu:: ... Guess the bone on the Queen is what you would call winter bottom bone?

Greg - Nothing like a big old Empire dog-leg ::tu:: ::tu:: ... The clip blade looks massive and with an etch 8) - nice cocobolo handle too ... I can't quite make out the etch - what does it say??
