Jfowler That's pretty rough black JT, looks unused

Burnt Stag Beautiful stag

waynorth Charlie i hope you keep looking in drawers, there's bound to be more hiding out

I'm not sure what pattern this is looks like a sow belly pen ? Half whittler pen? Opinions appreciated.
Makes a fine little watch pocket knife. Can't even tell it's there.

 

[herder]

Thanks Gevonovich and waynorth, and some great additions shown since.
Burnt Stag, Love that knife hatchet combo.

 

[waynorth]

Nice Serpentine Pen, Rob!!
How long is it??

 

[rockman0]

Serpentine, thanks Charlie ! It's 3 1/4" closed .

 

[waynorth]

I believe it is a 62087 Pen, Rob. They were all made with Clip blades, so they didn't bother to add the "1/2" at the end of the number to differentiate it from a Pen main blade.
I have looked through some books, but can't find the darn thing, but I am 85.7% sure that's what it is!!

 

[rockman0]

Thanks Charlie, I appreciate you taking time to look through books 85.7 % is solid enough It's a dandy little knife, lots of character in these old well used knives, this one has some pitting in the blades but they have more life left in them than I'll ever use. I'll sharpen it tomorrow and in the watch pocket it will ride. The little pen blade is unbelievably thin

New arrival. 3 7/8" closed. This one didn't see much use, someone took good care of if. You can see the factory finish under the patina but I think I'll leave the patina.

Rob, WOW, what a glorious clip! Is that the precursor of the #47 pattern, or slightly different?

Thanks Jeff, I don't know the answer to your question, maybe someone more knowledgeable will come along and educate us. Being it has no shield I guess it was a slightly less expensive option. I have my eye on another tested stockman that has a shield and the bolsters are squared off rather than rounded like this one.

Thanks, Rob, I've never even had the pleasure of holding a Tested XX in my hands.
