A chap I met at an antiques show a while back dropped by with these today. He's quite a "clean up and polish" kinda guy 
but a couple of these escaped the wheel. The swell center jack (coke bottle) is pretty exciting for me, it's an Edwards, a house brand for a large hardware supply in Montreal at the turn of the century.
Best regards

Left to right. Reico germany, green?bone, very full blades, nasty nick in the pen almost 4 inches, a tank.
Edwards coke bottle, ebony with character ;-)), pretty full blade, did not escape the buffer.
Robt. Klaas, nice redish bone.
Belknap bluegrass Barlow, saw cut bone, nice full blades
Turner Naylor, pretty horn scales, buffed and well used blades, with a terrible twist, a neat user.

He brought his entire collection to show me and have me make comments, Yikes. It was rather painfull to see some of them. He has one of the prettiest folding dirks I have ever seen with Ivory scales that are just killer and the blade buffed beyond belief. Here is a pic of a Bowie made by Joseph Elliot with stag to die for in just the condition you want to find (the handle). You can see what he did to the blade.
