That is a sweet knife Iman. Wonder if a soldiers or sailor ever carried it? Great bones and blade.

I like the jigging you have there.. Not like mine. Even patterned instead of random. Great knives and thanks for showing it, I love seeing the variety of the pattern and differences between individual knives.

Here's an Electric Cut Co and a New York Knife Co that appear to have the same jigged bones scales. The NYKCo has a pattern number, 222.

Here's a Griffon; Bridgeport, Ct.

And a Camillus, four line.
I scrubbed that Camillus but it just wanted to play pig-pen.

Here's a couple Robeson's with the pen blade fore and aft. Interesting.
Also, the nail nicks are milled differently.
Great old knives.

Thanks for looking.
