Hey GUYS, This Southington Qualifies as a 3-backspring and should be posted right here unless there is a Southington section too?
Unusual pattern too me,,,Similar to a Gunstock whittler huh!!

I was not aware of this thread. Interesting knives, all.

Here is a five blade Robeson knife. I do not have a scan of the backsprings, but there are three, I promise.

Nice knives fellows, I don't think they made a triple backspring farmers jack, unless maybe it were Robeson. Grin

Nice knives all

Guess I should share my first knife I have posted a few times (well more than a few times

) that I received at age 10 from my Uncle who passed a few years ago... and yes I chipped the stag below the rear pin doing who knows what in my much younger days as I used this knife for anything and everything - from whittling to cutting tree branches etc

Puma Jadgmesser - Folding Hunter (serial # indicates made the year I received it)...

My old photos before the light box setup... but good enough to show the triple springs....

Those Puma 941's are beautiful knives and that one has a great history to boot. Here is one I got many years ago that looks nearly identical with a Keystone stamp.

Thanks Lyle and Ray

...

Ray - actually mine is a 945 but indeed very similar - you know the production year of your knife? - I know mine only because they used serial numbers and there is a chart to date them exactly - mine was October 1965...

Actually mine is not a Puma but I think it may have been made by whomever made the Puma knives.It is stamped Keystone No.236 and the quality is the same as a Puma. I bought it in the original box which also contains a copy of an old hunting license issued by an Indian chief to white hunters.

Thanks Ray!! I am not sure as German knives are clearly not my thing but to my knowledge Puma made their own knives unless they contracted out in later years... either way - your knife is indeed similar in many respects except the saw blade is in a different position and the hook on bottom side is not on my knife... interesting and thanks for sharing!!

Here's a no name knife that I really like. No indication of who made it that I can see.
What a nice knife it is. Also a very interesting pattern.

Thanks for looking.
