Hot off of Tony's bench is this dogleg jack, covered with old bone, formerly known as "Remington Bone" but now only known as "Old Bone" but could be called "Schrade Bone" but "Old Bone" will do. 
(it's a long story 
)
This is the straight dope from the Old Dog:
"Dogleg Jacks are a workhorse of a knife. I've made a number of them 3 3/4" closed with a wide spear blade and pen, they will get about any job done."
"I got this pattern from the late John Brenner about 15 years ago. He came by the shop and stayed for a week. He had with him an ebony Southington DLJ that was almost mint. That's where this pattern came from for this knife that I just finished and it's the pattern that I used to make the Case-Bose."
"This is a typical old dogleg jack and they were all about the same"
The Southington Cutlery Co. of Southington, Connecticut was in operation from 1867 to 1905.

I said earlier in this thread that I thought the Case/Bose dogleg was a Case Bradford pattern -- checking my memory a bit, I meant a Case Bros pattern instead. But it seems I was doubly wrong. Pretty cool and unexpected that it came from a Southington pattern -- they manufactured some of the finest American made knives ever. A magnificent piece of work there from Tony.
So far in this thread though, the ones that have really lit my fire are the Ken Erickson with the almost wharncliffe pen and that amazing Winchester with the clip pen. Great knives guys!

Thanks for sharing those beautiful dogleg jack knives. This penknife is marked Nelson and Sons, Sheffield. No info on that maker or retailer at the moment. I think it qualifies as a dogleg.
