Bonzodog, who is the maker of that ivory micarta back pocket or Lanny's clip? Im not sure which pattern it is but thats a great looking knife. I really like that elongated nail nick.

Nice group!

What is the sixth one from the left on the bottom row? Looks very similar to my Schrade Walden 832 small stockman in propwood.

Thanks: also, you nailed it...that's what it is...an 832. I picked it up for $10 at an antique mall near my house.

Sometimes I get one at a good price. Not usually, though.

I don't usually either. Reminds me of this statement by clutchcarter in the Flea Market finds thread:

All of the flea markets around here are stocked with:
Chinese tools
soccer jerseys
parrots & ferrets
skanky stripper clothes
stale fudge
knife experts that know exactly what antique shop retail price is for every knife they have!
 
Here is my meager collection. It is hard to follow the awesome posts from before me :o

That is a great photo of some lovely knives!

What is the ebony one next to the swayback?

It is stamped 'Brantford Cutlery Co. USA'. If memory serves me correctly, it is from 1900-1920. If it had any indication of being imported/made from Germany, it would be from the later 1800's. I love that little guy; I am leaving the small pen blade partially open in hopes of weakening the backspring so I can open it without pliers. This would be a teardrop jack, right?

This little guy is why I am searching every store/ flea market for the old Ebony knives; I am hooked on 'em now. Superb and authoritative snaps, perfect pull on the master blade, half stops, the beautiful patina and it's ability to take and hold a good edge has colored me impressed.

Fantastic, thanks for the picture and description.

I recently acquired my first old ebony knife, and I know exactly what you mean. Mine is an LF&C from New Britain, Connecticut:
