Here’s a great old vintage jack knife with character for days — featuring mismatched tang stamps, mixed handle scales, and a subtle Coke bottle-shaped swell in the handle. This knife likely dates back to the early 1900s and appears to be either a factory repair job or built from mixed parts during an era when nothing went to waste.

???? Measurements:

• Closed Length: ~3-5/8”

• Open Length (spear blade): ~6-1/8”

• Spear Blade: ~2-1/2”

• Pen Blade: ~1-7/8”

???? Blades:

• Spear Blade:

   

  • Tang stamp: “CCCIDENT CUTLERY CO.” — likely a partial or mis-strike.

  • Good little snap when opening and closing.

  • No blade wobble.

  • Honest patina, pitting, and age-related wear.

   

• Pen Blade:

   

  • Tang stamp: STILETTO CUTLERY CO. / NEW YORK

  • Reverse tang: “OIL THE JOINTS”

  • Light snap, slight wobble when open.

  • Similar wear and patina as the main blade.

   

???? Handle:

• Front Scale (Top Side): Darker wood, likely ebony.

• Back Scale: Lighter brown hardwood, possibly original or a replacement.

• Pins & Liners: Brass.

• Bolsters: Nickel silver, rounded and worn smooth.

• Shape: Slight Coke bottle swell toward the center of the handle — subtle but noticeable in-hand and in profile.

⚙️ Mechanics:

• Both blades open and close properly.

• Spear blade has firm action and no play.

• Pen blade has some wiggle and softer snap.

• Overall still functional and full of personality.

???? Condition Summary:

This is a true user-grade knife with heavy use, mismatched blades, and a lot of old-world charm. Great for a collector who appreciates the unusual — mixed tang stamps, non-matching scales, and that subtle Coke bottle handle shape make this a standout oddity. Definitely not mint, but absolutely full of story.

???? Shipping: Will be safely packaged.

???? Questions welcome — happy to send more pics if needed.
