down the rabbit hole
Hey folks, just signed up and thought I'd say hi. I'm located in Alaska and have had a knife collection since I was a kid. That is, I've owned quite a few knives over the years, never really considering it to be a collection. Not, like the saw collection....I think that's another forum.
Long story short, my neighbor is heading for warmer weather and is going through the purge and dropped off a box of knifes. Looks like I definitely have a collection now!
Nothing super special, but a good selection of different branded knives. I do have a knife collectors book, and nothing that seems to be big dollars or super collectable. Except one.
I'd never seen or heard of a wirejack until I came across this:

Anyway, I'm really not a knife collector. I joined the group to find out the value of the above knife. I'll take a peak around and post some questions about the knife in the appropriate forum.

Once you head down the rabbit warren there is no turning back. Welcome and when you're settled in post some of your knives, everyone likes to see them. There are some good non knife related threads as well.

Re: down the rabbit hole
Hi Jason! Welcome aboard.
Would love to see some pics.
Dad and the rest of us were stationed at Eielson AFB back in the late 60s. Wish I could remember more of it, but I do recall Dad taking us Trick-or-treating and the snow was deeper than I was tall.

Re: down the rabbit hole
Welcome aboard Jason. Glad to have you.
Keep checking back. Maybe Skip (New_Windsor_NY) will see this. He has a thing for wire jacks.
And please post your pictures to AAPK so they will be available in perpetuity. If you have questions on how to do that there are instructions, covering several devices (phone, Apple, PC, etc) in the "Tips and Tricks" forum.

Re: down the rabbit hole
to AAPK, Jason!
I took some cellphone screenshots of your knife (hope that's ok) to post here for all to see. It does seem to have a copper blade with some kind of silver plating? Skip is the "wire jack" guy, plus there are Schrade guys here as well. Hope you enjoy our site, stay and post more of your accumulation. We love knife pictures and talk.

Cool old wire jack. Welcome to AAPK!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: down the rabbit hole
He (Jason) posted his wire-jack and inquiry here:
viewtopic.php?f=64&t=69826
I posted a link to the wire-jack thread so he could see a couple or few, copper blade
wire-jacks. Never heard a word, so.......
Here is that link:
viewtopic.php?f=35&t=3137&start=435#p848105
I'm pretty sure that Jason's wire-jack does NOT have a copper blade.
