Re: Old Ebony Wood Handle Knives
I could look at these ebony jacks all day. This one is barely used and has three of my favorite things Ebony, Spear blade and a strong honk falls stamp.

A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

Re: Old Ebony Wood Handle Knives
Hey Guys, Never seen this pattern before. Awesome name,,,Big Chunk of a knife at 4 3/8" closed. Notice the shield is on BOTH sides of handle. Had to post it before I list on ebay or it gets away from me. 1800's era Canastota

That Canastota looks like a swell-center moose that just didn't fully swell. Kind of a barrel shape. To my eyes, at least. The shields on both sides is very cool. I like it!

Re: Old Ebony Wood Handle Knives
Yes I completely agree with the Barrel analogy. It is certainly a swell center, just not pronounced. YES YES YES a Big Moose
Thanks for commenting!!

While I was going through this thread oohing and aahing I realized I had never posted any of mine here so here are a few old Empires, a J. Russel spatula and a Camillus easy open.
