Doug, I admire that Green handled knife. Glenn did a fine job on that one, think I need to get in touch with him myself! Got an interesting project, or two...

Regards, Will

Thank you, and I am sure you will be pleased with the result if you do.
 
Now I'm intrigued... What's that on the left? Some kind of easy-open eureka melon tester? I like the bone (I presume?) on those.

It's a large Queen EO Swell Center Jack, it's kinda like a melon tester but no where as slender, this is big knife, I wish it was real Winterbottom Bone but alas it's Delrin. :(
 
Nice group Ted, I particularly like the Queen and Northwoods in the middle. What is the thin one at top right, with its single spring toward the camera?

Glenn's rehandle prettied up this Camillus, but it is after all, an old working knife, so I asked him to leave the blades as they were, scratches and all. It is sharpens up nicely and is a fantastic cutting tool. At just 3.375" closed and 0.4375" wide, it rides comfortably in the pocket of any pair of pants I wear.

Great grass/mossy green coloration. This fella does good restoration work. Leaving those blades in their actual condition was a good idea.
 
Thanks, the color varies depending on the amount of sunlight. On an overcast day, or out of direct sunlight, it is much closer to its name (hunter green bone):

Here is the knife in its original black plastic alongside the hunter green bone slabs when they had just arrived in the mail (along with the Craftsman small stockman used to open the package).

That one is the oldest Case(early 20s, before they called it the Eisenhower model) ,pen knife it has green bone scales and the prettiest swedges I've ever seen but the unusual thing is that the small pen is ground paper thin so thin that it needs about 80° and the best treat is so spot on it springs back to true with no ill effect, some one told me a long tinge ago that it was a pipe smokers knife and the blade was like that do as to conform to the rounded bottom of pipes to facilitate cleaning the bowl.

Al right here it is, I bought this pen knife at an estate auction 20 years ago in the Poconos in PA, I got it cheap (IIRC under $10), what I know is it's a Case Pen Knife made somewhere between 1920-1940 in Green Bone Scales.

The thing that got me right away was there were no pattern #s, except for the letters ACI stamped on the opposite tang of the main Pen Blade.

Secondly the secondary pen is honed razor thin, including bein' swedged and is heat treated so as to flex the blade nearly 90 degrees and return true.

The blade below is shot from the top, the swedged dull side, see how thin this blade is?

Today the sun is shining - which is already pretty unique after that long, cold and extremely dark winter (they say it was the darkest winter for about 40 years)

I just went out this morning with some knives to catch the sun at the bone and the bolsters...
