Although wearing Blue Collar workwear- that's still a very fine Jack you have there Jeff.Another pre-war (or maybe during the war??) 4" stockman from Robeson. Some kind of fairly soft resin covers, as they scratch quite easily.
Augie

Wow, Charlie, thanks!3 14" bone Jack from Swan Works Cut Co, Germany! Needs someone to love it, with its crimped blade!!r8shell , interested??View attachment 3108078
He can hang out with "Old Toynbee". 
I remember "Toynbee"!! It's cool when knives get names!! They get identifiable personalities along with them!!Wow, Charlie, thanks!
Any old bareheaded jack is welcome here.
Either that or a buddy cop action movie.I remember "Toynbee"!! It's cool when knives get names!! They get identifiable personalities along with them!!
"Toynbee and the Swan"!! Sounds like an opera!!
Toynbee & Swan are on the case!
From around the first World War (1900-1920), this seldom seen Spey Jack!! Little used, a bit abused, is still pretty full, and snappy!! Thanks
Imagining histories, like I sometimes do, I suspect this knife sat in the shop window, bleaching in the sun, until someone bought it on sale, because no-one was looking for a Spey Jack in the "Big City" of Buffalo!! Hence the lighter front cover!! Hardly used, it sat in a drawer for many years before it came to the daylight!!
Whoa!!! Stop the Horses! Now THAT is one spectacular knife, although lazy having never worked a day of it's lifeFrom around the first World War (1900-1920), this seldom seen Spey Jack!! Little used, a bit abused, is still pretty full, and snappy!! Thanks

Nice one Augie- pretty hard all right yet alone in this condition
Must be fairly rare if they only made knives for 2 years!!
Those knives (and button hook) are home now, with Toynbee!!!The Swan Works Jack arrived here today with an entourage! A most elegant Saynor plus a nifty folding button hook.
Thanks, Charlie!
The Saynor will ride in my pocket tomorrow, while Swan & Toynbee get acquainted.
