Schrade 194OT, and Robeson 12227 EO Jack, 1922-39View attachment 1584845View attachment 1584846Ok, this is funny. I thought to do a search using “Robeson 12227 eo jack”.
The very first search result was my exact knife, with a highly detailed description. His description of it’s having been subjected to the drooling ministrations of a demented Fluffer ‘n Buffer, the photos, and naming of the identical marks leave no doubt it’s my knife. I did not buy it from this guy, so it’s been passed around a bit.
There was a time when I optimistically decided the scales were ebony, but it looks like I was overly optimistic.
Here’s the link ~ it’s a long expired sales ad, but worth reading just to see an honest and THOROUGH knife description!

Wonderful set! I have the same 194 here in my backpack as back up, and I have an e.o. Exactly like the sweet Robeson, but, mine is a Valley Forge and unfortunately the pen is broken although, it does have a very cool Valley Forge in what looks like a neat script of Old English font or similar...I find it amazing that it was used alot and the frosted script remains fairly well for a jack that is potentially 100 years or more old...good show and tell today sir!

That's a superb friction folder, José! How big is it? Is that a quail on the blade?

Your twin Bulldog Barlows are sensational, José!

Thank you very much, Gary.
It's a very old friction folder, made with a stick pierced by grub and yes the image is of a partridge. It is 10 cm closed and the blade is 8.5 cm.
