I don't know how old, but a nice Taylor's Eye Witness sleeveboard pen with pre-ban handles!!! Both tangs marked in the old style!!

I'm extra partial to that Robeson!

Thanks. I agree. I love the size, jigging, action (smooth "5" pull despite having half stops, no wiggly-wobbly blades), and coloration.
(I also love how sharp it gets, and how long it holds a keen edge.)

Interesting.
Profile resembles a Wharncliffe, yet clearly states it is a lamb foot.

Not as old as many pictured here, but an old favorite of mine I’ve had since high school. Ka-Bar 1004 trapper with warm wood covers.

Possible horn. Just purchased in a bulk lot. Can’t find an exact one online. Think I have scored, despite it not being fully in tact. Can anyone help with the year of manufacture please? Photos to come once I fire up the laptop.

Very nice. Sorry to ask, but do you have any tips for adding photos easily on your phone?

Cattaraugus Jack with PunchView attachment 3033172 Jack Knife

Might have been made by Robeson for Cattaraugus!!!??? Robeson patent punch!!

 

[galvanic1882]

That does not look like an original Catt to me. Catts with punches usually have a round shield. It looks like to bone and frame is from a newer modern Robeson. Just my opinion.

The whole knife reeks "Robeson"!! I'm glad we agree, Mike!! Here is another Robeson!! Very similar!! Maybe the blade was replaced with a Catt??!!
Still a good, useful knife!!!!

Yes those are my thoughts also
