New Old ones

Post by Unk »

Some new old ones....

The Miller Bros. has a strange shape - is that a coke bottle? It's 3.5" closed. It has a nice sabre ground spear blade. It has a split in the handle, but is otherwise in great shape. Great snap - it's a nice tight knife.

The L.F. & C farmer's jack is pretty rough and dirty. A little shrinkage on the handles, some blade loss.....but you can still see "Universal" etched on the blade.

The other two are a couple of Hibbard, Spencer and Barlett jacks I have picked up. The easy-open is cocobolo, I think, and the regular jack is ebony.

Nice ones Unk.
I've seen knives like that Miller Bros. referred to as "stabber jacks". I think they have to have that sabre-cut spear blade to qualify.
