Gettin' Jiggy With It - Jigged Bone Photos

What is the closed length on it?

By a ruler its a bit more than 3-3/8", on my digital calipers it is 3.433"

Fodderwing you are absolutely correct about the quality of jigged bone shown here. I'm spinning!

The shield puts it as early as 1925 and the stamp puts it as late as late 1930's. I'm pretty sure since it was made during this time period that it would have to be stamped "Germany" if it was made there, so I suspect it is U.S. made. Overall, cool knife David

This 97 is a beast, but the the jigging feels comfortable in hand. I love the burnt and blackened jigging with its’s contrast with rest of the Brazilian cherry wood.

Awesome knife, I was in on that one and now that I see your pictures I wish I had it even more

Here is one I wish I still had. Rick Menefee's first Lanny's Clip.

Thanks ! The pics didn't do it justice. Mine aren't the greatest but it really is nicer in hand. The main blade saw a little use, there's a few light sharpening scratches. The pen has the factory grinds. The action is like new, tight and snappy.
