Received this Craftsman 95041 Pony Jack today. It has very little use, blades are full, no wobble, great snap, and just a few tiny spots and scratches. It has the white delrin handles with the "Sears Craftsman" shield. This is the first 95041 I've added to the corral. Mainly because most I have come across, even though looking good, always had some side to side blade wobble on the master clip blade. The seller said this one had no wobble and it was under $20, so I pulled the trigger.

This one has been posted elsewhere, but deserves a spot here, methinks. Probably made in the 1960s or 1970s. The master blade will have to be sharpened if I want to carry it, but I sure do like looking at it!

Received another addition to my Pony Jacks yesterday. I had to do a warm mineral oil soak & rinse, and a little cleaning. A Camillus Long line tang stamp 21 Pony Jack with bone Handles. Main clip blade has great snap, with positive half stop and no wobble. The secondary pen blade has very week snap. Mark side handle has a tiny crack on lower edge to the right of the rear pin. Pile side handle has a small crack at the center pin.

This little Pony Jack, which I call 21-2, arrived today. It isn't too bad to look at, but sadly has blade wobble. I believe I will keep it and get it rebuilt, possibly with a new set of covers, someday.

Added another one to my Pony Jack family this past week. This has been one that has been hard to find (for me anyway) in decent shape. They are usually pretty ragged out. It is a Craftsman 9507, 2-7/8" closed Pony Jack with the white jigged delrin handles, with the oval craftsman shield without the stamped crown around the word Craftsman. The shield does have some scratches. Both blades are tight with great snap, still have some original luster, but do have scratches, stains and spots. I know it is made before 1976, because by 1976 & 77 the Craftsman Pony Jack had changed to a pattern number 95041, which had the sawcut white delrin handles with the rectangle Sears Craftsman stamped shield.

Thanks Tom. Might keep your eye out, I believe Hen & Rooster in Germany makes a baby trapper that is very similar to these. Kind of like a smaller version of a Mini-Trapper, and a little slimmer. The Pony Jack at 2-7/8 inches is just a smaller version of a design that a lot of people call a Dog Leg Jack. I believe the Hen & Rooster baby trappers are a little smaller than that around 2-3/8 inch.

This pocket knife arrived recently in a large group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. But, I was quite surprised and pleased when I discovered it and it most certainly is a keeper. It is a BOKER U.S.A., pattern 9908, two blades, two tang stamps, 2 7/8" closed, pocket knife. The main blade tang stamp reads "BOKER - U.S.A." The main blade, other side, tang stamp reads "9908" with the tree logo. It is in VERY GOOD condition. It needed some very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
