Here's an old Remington Swayback with a Sheepsfoot main, Or New England Whaler. It's an
old workhorse of a knife... Excellent condition.

Here is my latest arrival a Wester Bros New York jack, the bones are as pretty as old quality bones scales can be, The blade have substantial loss but still sharp and well snapping. This knife was made in the US, I don't have info about the maker, probably around 1910, but I have to check with BRL. Great EDC . Now I am waiting for some jewels, hope they arrive soon,
Here are some photos, not doing justice to the knife

I just got this today in the mail. I know nothing more than what the tang stamp says 'Brantford Cutlery Co. USA'. My guess is that it is early 1900's.

The cutest little pen blade I have ever seen

This is my first slippy with long pulls, Ebony and (what used to be) a spear point I assume. The pen blade is easily an 11 on the pull scale, and it does not help that the nail nick is virtually non-existent. I have to use pliers to even open it...I think I am going to get out the sandpaper and grind the point down below the liners so I don't stick myself when I reach for it in the pocket.

I've oiled her up and it is helping a little; the master blade is fine and the pen is producing gunk that I keep wiping off, but it is no better. I may leave it partially open for an hour to loosen her up. What do you think? Did I do well?

Nice Remington Jason,

Ken it's 3-3/4

Its a beauty. I think as you work it, and the gunk in the joints works itself out, it should be fine. Oil it and work it for now.

Charles,

Thanks for taking the time to take more pictures and post!

Quite a surprise to see that extension spring for the pen blade:thumbup:
This is really a remarkable knife, from the stag fitting to the stovepipe kick, extension spring, rounding of the bolsters and threading.

Thanks Ken. Having read many of your posts about other knives, seeing the questions you ask and also knowing a little about the great knives you build I tried to get some close ups of the details. Hope they met with your expectations. This is a really special vintage knife in my collection. Charles
