Thanks for noticing, Woodrow. Forgot that I also have this one, on the same frame as the one shown by OH. The spear appears to be the main, instead of the usual clip main arrangement and I do admire the bone on these black box Winchesters.
 
I've got the forum knife and one of Charlie's SFO's. Predates the Charlows by a bit. No promises but may add pics later.
 
Deskil, the jigging on your black bone handled Winchester/BGC Moose is perfect - really captures that vintage look - nice knife! OH
 
The GEC 66 offers a smaller Moose (calf??) for more pocket-friendly carry. There's a Spring Green bone that looks particularly nice but I don't have it. Not only smaller but it has a serp frame so Nessmuk might have looked askance at it! His comments on sheath knives are very accurate in my view, don't understand why some people need to carry some thick unwieldy 'bayonet' thing??. A compact puukko can deal with all tasks, and well.
 
After several bouts with this thread, I just had to do it....ordered myself a #54 Chestnut Wormgroove. The pics on line just made me take the leap. Not sure it will be my earnest EDC, but maybe my weekend warrior. We'll see how it rides in the RFP. I'll give myself one more knife this year......

I really like those Bluegrass Winchesters,supposedly made from original dies and using old "Utica bone". The source of that information about the bone is not always right though.:) I'll try to remember to get the real skinny about it,unless someone can give us better provenance.

I like this pattern knife.Thank you guys for showing your knives,Mike that NYK is an amazing relic.

Here's a couple Bluegrass and an old Remington:

Nice!!!! :thumbup: Saving for a nice Moose myself...this thread pushed me over the edge as well!
 
Glad to hear everyone getting on board. Sweet knife. I'm really loving this GEC #54 version. I'd buy another in Chestnut bone, but all knife buying activities are on hold until I can pay for a Ruger 5 shot conversion.
 
Here's my Nessmuks trio candidates together:

And the Slipjoints:

Northwoods Gladiator in stag and CPM-s60v (formerly CPM440V), one of my favourite steels; and a Benchmade/NRA with 440C lockback clip blade, and AUS8 spey blade and guthook blade. Not exactly what Sears had in mind, but a good modern representation of a Nessmuk folder. I just realized both are in stainless!


I place this Outlaw in the moose category even though it is technically a gunstock- I'm wrong, but that's okay, it's a gorgeous knife anyways- deep colour to the red scales, beautiful swedges, long pull, pinched and threaded bolsters, great shape to the spey blade- the real reason I got the knife in the first place. It's actually in my pocket right now!

I have to say that I've been on the lookout for an older moose in my travels, I've yet to hold one to see what the classics are like. Doesn't look like many of these fine knives have made their way this far north. But doesn't stop me from looking still!
 
This thread pushed me over the edge too! Been wanting one since I read about the Nessmuk Trio a couple of years ago. Should have a Northfield burnt stag arriving today. Really looking forward to it.

Be sure to throw up a pic or two when ya get it!!! :thumbup:
 
Add me to the list of recent Moose converts, tortoise and wormgroove bone are inbound. The ebony looked great as well. Really looking forward to giving this one some pocket time.
 
Here are three Double-Ended Bullhead Jacks, or Moose, knives by The Robeson Cutlery Company.

First is a Swell-Center Equal-End 622187 pattern with nice brown jigged bone and an escutcheon shield. 4" long.



The next two are Terrier Cutlery Company knives, made by Robeson between 1910 and 1916. These two knives are about "mint", and both came out of a closed Mid-Western hardware store via Ebay.

This 243622 Terrier is 3 1/2" long, has brown jigged bone handles with an oval shield. There are salesman sample numbers on the back of the master blade.
The master clip is crocus polished on the mark side, but glaze finished on the back, as is the secondary spey blade.



This little knife is only 3 1/4" long. It has no pattern number on it. It is, however, a double-ended jack, so it is a "Moose".
It has nice brown jigged and grooved handles with an oval shield.
The blades are sheepfoot master and secondary spey. They are crocus polished on the mark side and glazed on the back



Robeson also made a 4 1/2" surveyor pattern moose in bone and ebony. I do not have one of those but I do have photos of one somewhere.

Here is my one and only and at 4 1/2 inches it just doesn't see the carry time it should. Occasionally I will carry back pocket;) I have an eye on a 3 7/8 Shatt & Morgan in ebony I may have to add some day:thumbup:
