It does yes, but the bolster end is not rounded like a conventional DL. I regard it as a Teardrop or Candle End, similar bolster to the GEC 85. I've heard it called a Bullet Jack as well, the pattern No. is 2857. JoKr JoKr very kindly showed a chart of all models with description of blades, sizes but no pattern names in this thread

"Black Box" Winchesters

My first! :thumbup: Nice! One of the yearly forum knives was the same pattern but with ebony covers instead of the Utica bone. We called it a "moose" pattern (a stockman derivative) but I think technically it's a "balloon" pattern (a cattle knife derivative)... at least based on my...

If I recall correctly from Levine, there actually is no dogleg pattern but rather serpentine patterns. With the term dogleg being used as a nickname for none equal end serpentine frames. The bolster has no bearing on the frame name in this case. I will investigate more this evening to get accurate information.

Hehe, they're about the same in those parameters. So it only really comes down to what you like more: nickle silver or alluminium liners, 91 or 84 mm closed length, lobster claw or new patented can opener, scale tools, bail or plain. No wrong choices, they're all great knives imo. 😊
 
Jiki Jiki Dog Legs have given me problems before :D no not becoming a public urinal...:eek: but like some other patterns the definition is questionable. I have Queen Cutlery knife in WCSB that to me looks like a Trapper- except it has a Pen minor, but it's termed DL. But then, a Borzoi's leg is different from a Dachshund's;)
