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.

You said exactly what I was thinking Gino
As far as that Miller Bros. yes it is a coke bottle, and what a fine example it is
Thank you for posting the pics

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.
