I like Doglegs

Here's a bare head dogleg...Hibbard Spencer Bartlet & Co - 3"closed probably celluloid but possibly Ivory can't tell for sure. And a bone Ulster also 3" with Candle End Bolster at the bottom & Stepped Bolster on top.

Is it just a coincedence or Dous a dogleg always have a main spearblade. I like the shape but should have wanted a Clipblade.

Great pics. But is begs two questions: Why do I open these threads and is it possible to ban myself from this section of the board? I have other hobbies and more knives than I could use if I live to be 200. Impulse control failing...
 
That F.A.Koch is a beauty! Wouldya lookit that pen blade with the long pull:thumbup: !!!
 
This old goat still snaps like a gator!! Charlie, I knew you would notice that pen blade. It is hardly worn and has probably about 99% of it's original shape. The Dogleg pattern and the grinds and overall workmanship on these old timers is all but gone in this day and age with rare exceptions. I think I am gonna need more :D

I might have to leg wrestle SunnyD for that Cripple Creek !!!

Some great stuff here. Aren't some of these regular jacks though? A dogleg is curved away from the blade, right?

That's the way I know them Navihawk. But, I see the ones like you posted called doglegs as well. I have heard of both of them being referred to as reverse doglegs depending on what a particular person considers a dogleg. Kind of like the chicken and the egg. I would like to know myself which is which or are they both doglegs :confused: Maybe Mister Bose with help us out?

The first post on page one of this thread are true doglegs. They are a heavy workhorse of a knife. I'm working on one now, when it's finished I'll have Kerry post it here.
 
Thanks Tony !! If anyone does a search for doglegs in the Old Knives thread they will find some absolute beauties in there.

Can you picture this frame and bolsters with some custom blades and scales ?
