Day 15!  :woohoo:

So, for those who know me and my knives, you'll know I do love a vintage pen-knife.  Here's my "newest" one; a nice and solid example by Taylor's Eye Witness.

Pen knife? You? No? :whistle:

That's a cool looking tang stamp!

They seem to make some fine pocket knifes :tu:
But I couldn't spot any selller who has some.
If you’re interested this place seems to deal in their current premier range: http://bakewellcookshop.com/knives/pocket-knives/

Don’t know where or if they ship but might be worth a look. They are beautiful knives but the prices are eye watering. I have the wee basic hardwood clip point Barlow that was cheap as chips and is a cracking wee knife.

Nice one Jud, I knew I'd seen them listed somewhere but I couldn't remember where.  :cheers:

Very cool knife!  Just last night I was checking out both the Mini Trapper and Tiny Trapper, and I was about to buy the Tiny.  The only thing that stopped me was that I have already purchased 3 knives this month.  It's like you read my mind and posted this to push me over the edge and just buy it... must... resist...

Camillus made knives for Buck up until 1985 I believe. Schrade also made some for them as well.

Schrades were the first made and were Swiden construction. While the Camillus had a standard pin through the bolster for the pivot pin you can see on the bolster. The are some tang stamping that were a little different. If I remember correctly. Schrade only made Bucks for a short time. Some of Schrades bolsters were a little different also.

Here's an interesting bit of history from Buck about the contracted knives.
