wirejacks

[Papa Bones]

I agree 100% with what joeradza said in the previous post. This is a good read also, plus it shows 13 different wire jack tang stamps.

Thanks for the article Skip. A great read and I have added it to my file on knife research. Great info.

The wirejack thread in Knife Lore is the best treasure chest of info on your new addiction. I reread it like a good book.

So True. Yep, I have read through it a couple of times, and probably will again. Really love all the different variations. And I have already found a Girl Scouts set.....hopefully will be at my house sometime next week.

Today my trip to the post office produced these two knives. A couple of GEO SCHRADE, single blade, wire handle pocket knives. One has a hawkbill blade, the other has a sheepsfoot blade. Both of these needed a good cleaning. I left the guard/spacer alone on each knife. Good tang stamps on both knives. I took some pictures and here are both knives.

The "before" pictures are on page 19.

I just obtained, for best offer, this GEO SCHRADE, single blade, wire handle pocket knife. It appears to have two tang stamps. When it arrives, I'll clean it if it's necessary. But it looks like it in pretty decent condition. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

Love that style blade. Doesn't look like it needs cleaning. Yes, when you receive it, show some close ups.

I thought I would post this here also. I posted it in the "It's in the mail" thread. Girl Scout Mess Kit with Geo Schrade knife and fork. I am interested to see which spoon is with it. Seems there were several different ones used.

I commented on this utensil kit in the "Mail" posting. I'll comment again, this is a good looking Girl Scout kit.

I got a message this morning from Ebay that the bids on th he fish knife and small spear were cancelled. It must have been a scam. $107.50 was a little high. Hahaha

The small spear knife is at $33 now.

This evening I obtained this knife for best offer. Another GEO SCHRADE, single blade, wire handle pocket knife. It looks pretty good, just some minor cosmetic issues. It looks like it has a nice, crisp tang stamp. When it arrives, I'll clean what needs to be cleaned, take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

joeradza, you are a sadist.

[joeradza]

sorry Skip but it sure looked good.

[New_Windsor_NY]

sorry Skip but it sure looked good.

How many of the copper blade wire-jacks do you have?
And do you or do you not have the wire-jack hatchet?

I have two of copper blades. I do not have the hatchet unfortunately. I am also looking for the small hawkbill with the Case tang stamp and I'd really like to find the early small spearpoint without the bottle opener. I lost out on that one when I got sniped on Ebay.

[knifegnome]

Alright you three , enough of this talk about wirejacks, about this stamp and that blade and oh, wait ,there is one with a copper blade and also one with a hatchet,like I don't have enough knives to look for now,,,,I should be receiving my wirejack in the mail any day now , Thanks alot.

Those copper knives are BEAUTIFUL!! I'm still lking for the Case tang stamp myself. It's a shame that the AAPK store that has one, wants $200 (still) for it. In case you forgot, here's the link:

And it's in lousy condition. I've never been able to confirm it but I believe the Case came in other blade shapes besides the hawkbill. I think they were available in clip and wharncliffe.
