John, Charlie, S-K, Duncan and Gev, not in that particular order...all Very nice and unique BEAUTIFUL bone on those last three Gev and always a pleasure to see the stump

Lovely stuff, everyone! Charlie, the Lamp Post is priceless! It makes me think of the Narnia stories.
Here is another sleeveboard from Boker USA.

Wow - like Charlie said you step away for a day and this thread just keep son giving - like a pen knife jamboree

So many beautiful pens posted - Lloyd, Smiling-Knife, Jack, R8shell, Charlie, Gev and Jeff .... what a great and enjoyable show!!!! Funny but back in the days of yore I understand the pen knife was not only generally more expensive than a bigger jack knife but technically the production of them was more challenging from a size and technical perspective...

Here's a few more of mine -

Challenge Cut Co Bridgeport - Tip-Bolsters:

H&B with Worm Groove Jigging and Tip-Bolsters:

Holley Lakeville Conn Oval Pen with Ebony Handles:

Southington Cut Co MOP Crown Pen:

Thomaston Knife Co Conn Pen (interesting knife with a very flat profile from mark to pile sides):

Cheers

I wish I had time and ability to express how much I admire all the fine old knives posted here lately, mind blowing collections for a guy like me ! Keep em coming

Outstanding specimens!! The Challenge and Southington got my heart to skipping a beat.

This one must have been a difficult build at such a size and technical perspective, as you suggest. If i remember correctly in 2.5"

NYK Co.

Some great old marks, LongBlade, thanks for the display. Here's another tip bolster pen from Robeson, pre 1939.

On the subject of Böker pens, I am fond of this one

Wow, the hits just keep on coming! Gev, being from St. Louis I have a weak spot for those Shapleigh DEs, just terrific!

The St. Louis area really is nice. I have a friend that has a good size ranch out that way I want to visit someday. Philll is the master of Shapleigh DE if I remember correctly. Lets hope he pops in...have not seen him in awhile. Thank you Sir ! I can see the moment I found that one under a pile of junker knives

 

[LongBlade]
