Very cool,thanks for that quiz.Now why can't Case make a coffin switchblade !
They sure had cool knives readily available back then.
Most guys only had one knife though,right ?

If I was back then I would have bought as many as I could afford
I think the switch blade was referred to a one arm knife
I just wish they could come up with bone like that today

The first set I have no idea who or where was made...but it does show something that I think is very cool. The Dots on back of the bone are pricks were the bone was held in place when it was jigged.

The Cut offs are?

The last?

Nice scans of different jigged bone. From what I understand, aside of companies making their own jigged bone, Rogers made jigged bone for knife companies. Here's a link to a story Bernard Levine wrote about Rogers:

OK John. I give up. What kind of a specialty blade do those represent? Something to do with artwork? I know that you and Tony made them or, so said the ad on eBay for the one I've seen for sale.
