In case you’ve wondered why it’s called a “Texas Jack” knife.

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

First one I have seen with Texas stamped or etched on the blade!

Handles are Horn, handful of a knife! :D
What a neat old knife, Dimitri. ::tu:: ::tu::

Here's a pair of 4" COLONIALS. The top one I guess qualifies as a Texas Jack. The other is a big stockman with a big spey. Any interest, PM me. J.O'.
