Re: Big Jacks
Thanks Steve. I think the English Jacks are an elegant knife (and I like the name).

Re: Big Jacks
Jerry those are some very fine pieces of cutlery, I like the long elegant clip on the queen city. The name english jack just sounds like a classy knife and that's all there is to it.

Some real nice knives posted here.
Ken is there a story behind that STONE?
I know I've posted these elsewhere but think they belong here as well.
Case 99 frame pattern jacks.

Re: Big Jacks
Jerry, thanks for showing a really great, and classy, group of knives. Very nice.
Wayne, gleaning that many knives from one frame pattern must have taken awhile.
A real nice collection there. Thank you.

Re: Big Jacks
FRJ, that is a nice one. Those Robesons are really special knives!
Re: Big Jacks
Thank you, Jtx.
Yes, they really are special.
Forgot to mention the knife is 3 3/4".

Nice knives everyone! Here's a few old H. Bokers.

Re: Big Jacks
Beautiful knives Joe, Gulo. Those big ones are one of my favorites and not easy to find.
Here is a group shot, there is a Boker, Empire, Walden, Cattaraugus, Manhattan and a new GEC. The Manhattan and the Catt are the smallest at just over 3 3/4", the others are 4" or over.

Re: Big Jacks
Thanks guys.
JohnR: That is an impressive group! I'm pretty sure Boker produced that Manhattan, from what I can see of the tang stamp. They produced Manhattan knives using the Manhattan Cutlery Company tang stamp from 1868 - 1906.
Here's a few more H. Boker's.
