Re: Farmer's Jacks
Thanks for posting it Keith, glad you found one. I know where one that looked pretty near unused in the pictures. That looked like a fairly nice one that sold on eBay recently,it had reddish handles.
He wanted about $500 for it and I decided to wait it out. There are a few out there.

Re: Farmer's Jacks
Sometimes insomnia pays off, snagged this Schrade Cut Co as a BIN in the middle of the night last night. Secondary blade is a rooster comb and flat grind on one side, have not seen that all that often. Lyle has posted a couple with that blade. Unfortunately someone cleaned the blades with sandpaper, pics are sellers, will take better pics when it arrives.
Re: Farmer's Jacks
They are very rare John. Great snag. I looked for that knife a long time.
Thanks for posting it.

Got this earliest Camillus from a friend in Oregon. Like a lot of these, it has half stops on the spey. Still has good action after over a hundred years.
