I know virtually nothing about it. The name "Vospic" is stamped on the tang. When I googled "Vospic", I found one link to an antique lighter with that name stamped on the bottom. That is all.

I think that the square hole is for turning on and off gas valves, which may date it to before electric lights were commonplace. But that is just wild speculation on my part.

Ol’ Colonial all metal jack in the pocket with the forum knife for thrifty Thursday. The steel on these old knives take such a great edge with hardly any effort

Nice old Colonial! Those old budget friendly blades definitely put the value where it counts! 😎

No. See here's my free advice, which of course is worth exactly what you're paying for it ~
While I like the way other guy's dye jobs have turned out, they lose the most attractive part. The polished white bone where they tapered it down to mate up with the bolsters is the best looking part of it all. It sets off the dye in the middle.

Of course, lots disagree, which is fine.
You could dye the bone, then polish the ends back to white if your tastes are like mine.

Tell me about your canine, Yann. Male or female? And what breed is it?
Handsome animal.

Useless analogy:
Teeth are like pocket knives. You can keep them all pretty, or use them for what the Good Lord made them for.😎
I vote Wagon Wheel.

Glad to hear that, Dan. Sat with Mom several times in the hospital while my Father In Law had his procedures. Sometimes they need to do more.

He's a neutered male American Staffordshire terrier rescued from bad owners. He is a sweetheart. Thanks for him

Not sure, he's very kind to humans.

My Dalmatian was a much better watchdog than he was.

I have other ways of dealing with thugs ;)

I’ve always heard that square hole is a Prest-o-lite key. Prest-o-lites were acetylene automobile headlights.

I can't say for sure, my paternal grandparent's place (constructed c.1860~1865) had all the gas light pipes capped when electric was installed, c.19-aughts~early 19-teens. (long before they bought the place.)
IMHO, It would make sense the square hole fit both home gas lights, and Prest-O-Light headlights, since they were concurrent.
