Awww man, I am so very hosed! This is one of my very favorite patterns. I will have to get some of these. I asked Tony about this pattern back in '05 -- here was his answer:

Dwight,

I have not made any Norfolk style knives. I have wanted to since Brummett was a pump, but I just have not done it yet.

What took so long on this reply was that Rhett was scanning a page from his Joseph Rodgers catalog.

The Norfolk knives are the ones with the hump on the springs, at the center pin.

Regards,

Tony

Looks like Tony figured out how to have his cake and eat it too. (Note: the first three knives on the JR catalog page are Wharncliffe whittlers, the rest are Norfolk knives (if you magnify the page you'll see the blades are stamped with this also). The original Joseph Rodgers Norfolk knives are just about impossible to get. In fact, I have none, and actually have not even seen one on the market in years of collecting Joseph Rodgers knives.)
