Roland,that name is as good as any.I have also heard them called half trappers.I believe they pre date the trapper pattern.Your knife was made by Miller Brothers.

Re: Show off your Maher and Grosh knives
Great name ! Stay true for a Total Home Run, beginning with the name: "Announcing: El Diablo", maybe even one pimped up with fine bluish mammoth.
I'm just getting carried away. It's in my hand now, nice pattern.

Looks good.
Maybe you can get some reproductions of that one made some day.
Heck, I'd buy one if I could afford it.

Re: Show off your Maher and Grosh knives
Hey Guys, Here are a couple more interesting Maher knives. It may be hard to tell from the pics but both knives are same size 3 3/4" Closed.
One knife has a much thicker backspring & Master blade & The extra handle pin on front side is located in a different spot than its twin sister knife. The knife that has Etching & long pulls on both blades is the knife with "smaller" thickness blade & backspring but also has a "Curved Stamping" secondary blade. Cool huh

Mark

Re: Show off your Maher and Grosh knives
Those jacks have some age.Lightly very early 1900's late 1800's.The top knives I haven't seen anything like it before.I think it is re-handled.Undyed bone and carved.I would speculate it had pearl that was damaged.

Re: Show off your Maher and Grosh knives
The ~3" swell center pen looks like front handle is ivory and rear is a replacement with bone ? Stanhope viewer with lens missing ?
Here is a nice old 3 5/16" Maher & Grosh pen knife. Solid knife with nicely rounded handles.
