Picked up this Queen City since the last posting. I've posted it in a couple other threads but I'm right proud of it and it does belong here. I didn't think I'd like the green handles but then I got it in hand and changed my mind right quick.

Beauties both. Poetry in steel and bone (and celluloid). I can feel the envy creeping up my spine.

Man what a great bunch of English Jacks everybody. Here's a couple of mine. The Robeson's kinda interesting with the plastic scales and painted-on shield. I'm guessing it's WW11 era. The Digbys is by Graham Clayton and has laminated wood scales. Both knives measure 41/2 inches. Slim.

English Jack's are one of my favorite patterns. Kathy and I have been sorting knives, and will post a few more later. I had in my mind, the definition of English Jack, to be like these Clay's, and didn't realize the single blade lockbacks were included in the definition.

Yeah, Joe. I'm a bit envious of that one. She's a beauty. Wish she were mine.
