Farmer's Jacks
Re: Farmer's Jacks
These are either Utica stamped or I believe Utica made. I think without looking among them are a Crown Cut Co., a Cutsure, and a Western States.

Re: Farmer's Jacks
It is a great to see your Farmers Jack collection Lyle. Is there a possibility of a second run from GEC down the road? A selection in stag would get my heart rate racing.

Re: Farmer's Jacks
All beauties Lyle ... great to see all those Utica related knives and no doubt easy to see the similarities among them!!

Re: Farmer's Jacks
Lyle, missed you and Jan at the Rendezvous this year and missed seeing your amazing collection of Farmers Jacks also, Charlie gave Donna a couple I will have to take pictures of and add to this thread.
I lucked into another Schrade Walden last weekend, was a just listed Buy It Now for a very low price, knife has seen little use and can still see original Schrade grind marks, looks like it sat in someones garage or shed and rusted. Has factory spinner damage to the bone at the center pin, guess even the old knives weren't perfect.

Re: Farmer's Jacks
Thank you Lloyd, according to my wife I spend way too much time looking for knives but luckily she appreciates a good knife also especially a farmers jack, she has several of her own.Duffer wrote:Very nice John!

Re: Farmer's Jacks
Getting close, wife and I have been trying to put together a collection of all the Queen made Farmers Jacks and I think I only have the MOP to go, added the brown bone this week.
Re: Farmer's Jacks
Wow John - what a lineup Lyle will love those ... or maybe his blood pressure will go up - in the words of Lyle - “ I grin”
Good luck finding the MOP FJ to complete the collection!!!

Re: Farmer's Jacks
Nice work John. You have two more to go. The pearl and the green worm groove.There were 7 variations with only 6 handle types ( 100 of each). Stag handles having two blade steels , distinguished by the shield on the ATS 34.
6 handle types:
Winterbottom bone
Fire Oak bone
Green worm groove bone
Mastodon ivory
Stag
Pearl
They were commissioned by Lynn Watkins ,an older gentleman with SMKW connections and patterned from the Schrade S7303 catalog cut in the Collector Knives books by Price and Zalesky. (not the Schrade catalog, but it is the same picture from the Schrade catalogs copied . I know that's confusing , but the information came from a Queen representative's post on AAPK in 2009 or 2010.

Re: Farmer's Jacks
While I'm back in the saddle, here's one Dale was gracious enough to let me purchase. It's a first stamp Camillus Cutlery Co Camillus NY. Arched stamp on both blades. Still great snap and half stop (typical of most) on the budding blade.

Re: Farmer's Jacks
Thats an old beauty Lyle ... Nice blades, great old ebony and an early stamp - I think 1902-1915 ... With patience one of these days I'll find one up my alley or even outside my alley (for example that Camillus trips my trigger )...

Re: Farmer's Jacks
The very first post in this thread comes full circle:
"This is a nice old pattern that you won't run across very often."
EDITED 9:42pm
As far as known, Case never manufactured this pattern.
Sorry guys I can't let it go on any longer, I don't know how long I have before I can't edit it. A repairman suggested and wanted to make a Case for fun. I guess the call for a Tested pruning blade is uncommon. The frame is Walden, I think the rest is authentic Case, even the goldstone.I didn't ask about the spey. I hope I didn't offend anyone, thanks for going along my friends.

I've looked at my other knives and it most resembles a Walden.

Re: Farmer's Jacks
That’s interesting Lyle. There was a small company called Orange Knife Co, who made handles like that. I believe they were in Walden as well.
