Nice find Mike. A Stag example would always be a fine addition.

Found this one today... great shape but it’s a little sticky opening

Probably not then...I think the ones I sold eventually ended up out of the country.

I'd like to think I had your old knife Sir Whippersnapper, but as this seller "says" he bought them in the '80's and has so far listed 3 of the imitation horn and 2 of these Rosewood/brass...well....could be. I'd still like to think so.

Looks exactly like the one I sold 2 years ago. I had got it from Bill D several years before that...Funny how knives make the rounds .

You lot in America are lucky

Really nice slant bolsters Chris .Glad you could add them to your ever growing and great collection .

I had one that looked like that a few years back but I sold or traded it off for some other knife. Probably over 10 years ago.

Cool! I have a black handled with the swedge blade stamped JNDIANA.

Nice knife Chris. I really like the scales on that piece.Good grab mate. As Tom said these were referred to as the "old fashioneds " and slant bolsters. As for dating I think the earlier examples had nickle bolsters and swedge blades but im rusty so dont take that as a given. Here is a 9" ...

I have a similar model. Has VIRGINIA INOX stamped on tang.

... are very hard to find. Frank B old ads called them "Old Fashion" but slant bolster is the common term for them. They came in several peralex colors, stag, horn and imt ...

Hey Mike. Nah, that name doesn’t sound like “my” seller’s. But, as you know, these items disappear randomly for sure. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a Slant Bolster in Brass, but certainly haven’t seen everything. The “Bay” has been loaded with lots of nice stuff lately and quite often makes it to sale.
