Item D4 - A. J. Wilkinson (Boston) Folding Draw Knife. 

While Wilkinson was a prominent hardware dealer for many years, and they did hold the patent (July 16, 1895) for the locking mechanism on this draw knife, and manufactured it themselves.  It was a successful and popular tool.  This example is in the larger 10 inch edge length and has an 18 ½ inch wingspan, a deep full blade, and is a heavy duty tool to say the least.  It will stand up to the toughest of jobs.  The tool is clean and shiny, with very nice and solid handles, and retains much of its original nickel plating.  Fine
