Vintage Lockback Folding Pocket Knife with Stag Bone Scales

This is a vintage lockback folding knife, measuring approximately 4 to 5 inches in the closed position, featuring a classic clip-point blade design. The handle is constructed with brass bolsters at both the pivot and the butt end, showing a significant aged patina with darkening and spotting typical of brass. The handle scales are made from jigged bone or stag, exhibiting deep characteristic grooves and a creamy yellow to dark brown coloration. The construction utilizes brass pins to secure the scales to the inner liners. The blade is made of steel and shows various signs of use, including heavy surface scratching, minor oxidation spotting, and evidence of repeated sharpening which has slightly altered the original blade profile. A prominent thumb notch is visible near the tang for locking engagement. While no specific maker’s mark is clearly legible in the image, the design is heavily influenced by the Buck 110 Folding Hunter style, a popular motif for various manufacturers from the late 20th century. The overall condition is well-used, displaying a heavy honest patina, some gapping near the bolsters, and surface wear consistent with a field tool rather than a collector's piece.
