Put an edge on the Challenge here, now fit to carry it will get more pocket time.

Ivoryman: That Challenge is a beauty!
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).

I-Man, beautiful Challenge, they made such high quality knives. Think this is the same knife but in ebony.
Re: Vintage Barehead Jacks
Bone and ebony!!! Both great knives.
Re: Vintage Barehead Jacks
That one looks fabulous John R, great condition and spitting image except for the ebony. Great show.
Thanks for comments all. Appreciate it.

Nice pair of Sheffield knives, Corso! Lovely old Walden dogleg, knife7knut!
Beautiful old Keen Kutter, Ivoryman! Roger gave you good information, manufactured by the Walden Knife Co. between 1905 and 1920. From Sellens, it would appear to be a K2578. St Louis MO was where the Simmons Hardware Co. head office was, not where the knife was made. The Walden factory was located in Walden, New York.
Great Challenge jacks, Iman and John!

If you love bareheads you should like this thread on boys knives which are essentially 3 1/2" or less bareheaded jacks with a few exceptions ..

Re: Vintage Barehead Jacks
Here's an old walden that I've had a little while. It came along with a schrade I was after. It's still solid and tight after a lifetime of use.

That's an awfully sweet knife to come with another one you were actually after. Really nice bonus. ____DaveKnifeSlinger#81 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 1:04 am Here's an old walden that I've had a little while. It came along with a schrade I was after.

Re: Vintage Barehead Jacks

Re: Vintage Barehead Jacks
Great old jacks, Corso and Paul T.!
Barry, that Empire sure has a lot going for it: good blade etch, long pull, flat handles and bolster and bareheaded!
