Question.....

Congratulations JP, VERY NICE.

[JohnR]

Thank you Dimitri and that you all, Dimitri your example is very nice, that's only the third one I've seen with the easy Opener etch, most etched ones I've seen have Sword Brand.

Thanks so much John!

I agree that particular etch is hard to come by

Two more beauties you have posted, can't beat these old EO knives!

Question for you gentlemen? Are your 3 line EO s with etch 3 and 5/8 inches long closed?
Am asking cause just received a 3 line , teardrop style frame with etch and didn’t realize they’re longer than the more rounded frame 4 line and short line. They are 3 and 3/8 s closed .
Thank you !

Yes, 3 5/8", a slightly larger jack which feels nice in hand, carried an ebony one for awhile and enjoy using it.

Nice old jacks being shown. Here's a different jack pattern with its fair share of wear, but still an interesting find with its three line stamp and 4 1/2" handle. I believe it dates from just before the first world war.

Nice barehead Jack 3line ! That’s the older jigging on that bone . Do agree it looks pre WW1.
Thanks for posting that old survivor. It looks to have many more years of good service for you .

Yes JP, both blades have excellent snap. The main has a bit of play, but is still well within good user range. The pen is tight, and that old carbon takes a great edge.

Have this 3 and 3/8 inch long( closed) Jack . Sword brand line . It looks to be hardly used and may have never been resharpened. This one took 4 or 5 years of searching for one without cracked covers . The faux stag is prone to cracking and fading real bad and upon seeing this it had to come and join the rest of the Camillus family. The pile side isn’t as dark as the mark side, but it may have come that way from factory or sat in the sun .
So now to Find a gunstock Jack a harness Jack. The search will continue !
You all have a good evening out there .

VERY NICE acquisition, JP.

Added another Camillus Tip Top barlow, one of my favorite vintage barlows, just a little larger and beefier than your standard barlow of the time.

Bones and full blade! An easy favorite.

one of my favorite vintage Barlows too!!!

I just got this in the mail, to add to my (embarrassingly large) collection/accumulation of pearl knives. It's the first curved Camillus stamp I've seen in person--both blades have the same stamp. Blades are worn down a fair amount, but it's still tight and snappy, and the pearls are in good shape.

Brent, that's quite a score. Handles look good, blades not bad for its age. And the tang stamp is a treasure. Congrats.

Tip top Barlow.......

[New_Windsor_NY]

Tip.....

Dimitri, that pocket knife is a TIP TOP, TIP TOP barlow.

[doglegg]

Tip top Barlow.......

What a pocket knife was meant to be.

Thank you gentlemen

Keeping with the Tip Top theme, another Tip Top showed up, this one Pre WW2, 4 line tang stamp and Sword Brand stamp, full pattern number, later ones just had 10 or 11, spear or clip. Not sure on the covers, some look sawcut ebony and some sawcut synthetic, if synthetic not sure what Camillus used as most vintage synthetics schrunk with age and I've never seen these barlows shrink.

Great score. Love that big old spear blade.

Thank you Floyd, nice to be able to find them with full blades.
