great 1/2 stops and snap like a gator. The wood is in great shape all around, and I can still read "CUTLERY CO" "ST. LOUIS" and the bottoms of the BRIDGE letters. Just wondering if anyone knew the approx. Year this one was made? and what kind of wood are the scales made of? I tried to provide the best photos, I will be needing a camera with a better close up capability, I hope these are good enough. Thanks!

Re: Bridge Cutlery Co.
Looks to have been re-handled, liners have easy-open cutouts. Someone will be along directly with better info...

Re: Bridge Cutlery Co.
Bridge Cutlery was one of many trademark brand names used by Shapleigh hardware of St. Louis. Goins says 1902-1939. Shapleigh was a hardware firm and did not make cutlery. Knife was made for them on contract. Might have had celluloid handles originally. With the handles having been replaced it may be impossible to guess who made it.

A thought about your camera. I have a 400+ dollar Nikon with close up capability, and my wife's smart phone does a better job.
