That looks like a genuine Homer Fixed Blade, Campbell!:thumbup:
You better tread carefully when it's in your pocket though! Unless you are intent on singing in the boys choir!!

Now you're being silly waynorth - that's obviously a back-pocket knife (ouch!)

I've been wanting a nice ebony hafted traditional for ages. Picked up a couple on the 'bay that were disappointing (the chance you take) but finally reeled in this knife in very good condition. 3.25" closed. Pattern 2421. Dated
'20's - '30's. Nice Federal shield.

A simple Sheffield Pen Knife

"George Butler, 3 5/8" closed, approx. 1910 - 1920, unusually strong spring for this type of knife. " Art " brand and the " Key " were two of their trademarks. Hafted in the only set of French ivory I own that has not yellowed over time. Still retains it's original snowy whiteness after the passage of all these years. A clean, simple, handy, everyday pocketknife that's as light on the wallet as it is in the pocket."

"3 1/2" closed, nickel silver bolsters, rivets, and bar shield, brass liners, tortoise hafted. Carried, used, and sharpened. Clements was a late 1800's - early 1900's London retailer.
As with most London retailed knives, most were Sheffield built by the better Sheffield makers who were more than happy to sell knives even if their own name and mark were not tang struck. Some were marked Sheffield made, many were not. This is a very nicely built and fitted knife even though we do not know who the maker was. The rear bolster wharncliff pattern was built by most firms, but was not that common a pattern even then, seldom even seen pictured in many Sheffield knife books. Notice in particular the nicely milled, tapered center liner and the triple pinned rear bolsters"

That ones different Vince with the lack of a bolster on the main blade side. Whats the tortouse look like in the hand as far as translucency?

Very nice, Vince. Re: the tortoise... Were they doing the gold foil backing way back then?

Here’s a J. A. Henckels folding lockback hunter with pen blade release (kind of tough to release the main blade but maybe it will loosen up). The threaded bolsters are German silver and the liners are brass. It’s 4 3/8 closed. Blades are a little beat up.

That's a neat one Mike! After the master blade is open and locked you push down on the pen blade to release the master?

Great stag on that one.

Thanks for sharing,
