Quick and clean shave! A rainy spring day here in KC which reminds me of a short poem;
Mike

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground.
And Swallows circling with their shimmering sound.
And frogs in the pools singing at night, And wild plum trees in tremulous white.
Robins will wear their feathery fire, Whistling their whims on a low fence wire.
And not one will know of the war, not one will care at last when it’s done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree, If mankind perished utterly.
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn, Would scarcely know that we were gone.
Sara Teasdale.

I've seen one other like it with a different name. Böker could be a likely candidate.

I am certain Martin told me Union Cutlery made some John Jay's. I had one by them. It was nothing like yours, though.
I am working on one now. Pearl covered tang nightmare! :rofl2: Seems a Boker-made to me.
Oh well, I suppose since John Jay was such a popular figure back then, several makers could have produced them.
