Re: English Jacks show yours
Weird wish indeed, wanting to be reincarnated as a harness jack! Anyway, how does the little release work on the side of some of those English Jack's? Are they a lock and release mechanism?

Re: English Jacks show yours
The "hump" on the back is a lock release, Thawk. You push it in to release the blade. It's essentially similar to the back lock that sits in a cutout, but rides higher.thawk wrote:Weird wish indeed, wanting to be reincarnated as a harness jack!

Re: English Jacks show yours
What a great thread full of great knives
First find in a looong time! Picked up this old Continental Cutlery Co NY english jack, a cousin to galvanic1882's Robeson and Terrier. It has an interesting difference from his that I can see (aside from being used ) it has steel bolsters instead of nickel silver.
Since Robeson, which made this one, was located in Rochester I set up the photo with a magazine from another Rochester company from about the same era as the knife.

Nice old Continental, AKC !
I had forgotten about this thread. I guess I can put this one in here too. Despite the the stamp, it doesn't get much more "English" than having horn handles.

If it's meant for me to have it, it'll still be there.

I do have this Carl Schmidt Sohn....

Re: English Jacks show yours
Here is my latest English Jack. I love the bone on this Ulster and the Washington bolsters are a favorite of mine. I was glad to resurrect this thread with this knife.

Re: English Jacks show yours
As I was putting the Ulster away I forgot that I picked this one up awhile ago and never posted it. Another English Jack Humpback. The mark is ELECTRIC CUT CO NEWARK NJ. Check out the bone on this one!!!
This one and the Ulster are 4 1/2" closed.

What a great thread! Thanks for showing all of them. Here are a few... I can't compete in the shiny department, however. In fact, the bottom one is due for points and plugs.
These are new ones.

Some beauties in this thread. Glad it got resurrected as this is a pattern I've only recently become interested in. I haven't any classic pieces, just a couple more modern iterations.......

Re: English Jacks show yours
Great knives guys keep them coming!!! I just got this one in the mail today. Another Ulster 4 1/2" closed with Horn handles. I always loved horn handles and you don't find many American knives with it so I am always happy when I am able to see and old one like this.
Re: English Jacks show yours
Really dig that Ulster - K-nice K-nife

Re: English Jacks show yours
Yeah, I know... It's a Kutmaster. But here's my contribution to the thread. Even though it is what it is, its one of my favorite knives I own. It's about 4 1/2" closed, handles aren't bone, some sort of plastic I guess. The end bolster is colored weird in the pic, dont know why, bad lighting I presume.
