Lee, that knife has great visual appeal, more than that, looking at the pictures just makes me want to pick it up and run my fingers over that bone.

Thanks Ike and Bill 
... I like pen knives especially when they have "curb" appeal 
... Quite honestly back in the day these small knives were more pricey than a big ol' jack

Here's one I picked up recently. I believe it may be a ladies knife as it is very petite at 2 1/2 inches closed and it has tortoise shell handles. Just perfect for a women's purse.

Love that maker Lee, one of my favorites, and love that pick bone. The underlying X-ing on these early pick bones is consistent and the depth of them keeps them on pocket worn handles.
Empire had the best functional design for a farmers jack, although not the most elegant.
Great knife Greg, have I said I like that maker.

Nice knife Roger ... Is it an illusion or does the pivot bolster flare out towards the end? Very cool ...

Another great knife Roger.Re: Empire Knife Company

Man that is a sweet ole hunter Roger . When you first look at it, it creates a illusion of being pinched. But when you take a minute to look, you do see that it is straight. Super cool .
