Bob Ogg folder, piece of history

[kvaughn]

The nail nick on the Wharncliffe seems to line up with the top of the blade in a way that makes me think that it's the original blade shape. imho--Neat old knife--KV

Thanks for sharing Gary. Reminds me of a Barlow with that big bolster, with some origami thrown in. Really nice piece.

A friend sent this over for me to check it out, it's been years since I've seen or handled one of the late Bob Ogg's knives. This one is pretty cool, both blades have a very strong pull, one to be careful of getting nicked when opening or closing! Both blades when open are flush with the back spring, there isn't any half stops on either blade.

Closed the knife measures just a little under 3 1/2" and that stag scales swells out to just over 5/8"s of an inch and narrowing down to just over 3/8"s of an inch at the bolsters.

The main blade comes in about 2 1/4"s long, where the wharncliff blade comes in at 2" long, I can't tell if it was a longer blade that was modded some time through the years into this wharncliff or not though.

The one blade has OGG on the side and on the other side I can just make out Paris AR, which is where he was from I think.

On one side of the wharncliff the number 2392 is stamped into the tang.

Here's some images of this folder, if any of you have some Ogg knives you'd like to post here, please feel welcome or any thoughts regarding his knives or the man. I remember hearing that he wouldn't make a lockback, said something to the effect if you feel you need a lockback, then you have no business handling a knife...but, that's hearsay on my part and my memory is fading...

Enjoy folks,

I've slowly built a collection of Bob Ogg folders. One of them is a two- blade stag similar to this one. It is a hefty little booger.
