The blond bare-head at the top center ... looks like enclosed springs like a Queen (?)
That's a 3 backspring,3 blade jack with one being a fleam blade.

I'll see if I can take a few photos later today Bill. I saw another one on a Facebook auction a few months ago. After having never seen the pattern before I've now seen three.

Here's some photos of the knife I got from Roger. The fleam overhangs the end just a bit to help open it, I think. The blades are still very sharp and just a bit of use on the spey blade.

Thanks for posting it Mike. That’s a real beauty. The fleam blade on mine is the same,makes it easy to open, but the fleam is extremely sharp. Thanks Mike ::tu:: ::tu::
