Jumbo Jacks

[tongueriver]

Wow! I don't know if I can compete with some of those, but I will try. These range from 4 1/8 to 4 1/4 inches. Lamplough Cutlery (German), Schrade Cutco, and Case 1965-69 5299 1/2. The Schrade does not have half stops but the other two do.

Schrade Cut Co, Hammer and even an older American Shear Co. in Ebony.

I am a Case collector but I know what I like Case or not

OE, love the stag on that one.

TR, real pretty knive, all of them. But being a CASE guy, love the 99 "Rail Splitter"

Singin, All beauties but I love the green bone on the middle knife.

Here is another couple...

CASE XX 6299 in Rough Black 4-1/8"

CASE XX 6294 in what I consider to be CASE XX Red Bone (opinions may vary) 4-1/4"

Nice jacks everybody





Here's my 6dot, '74, 31 SAB

[singin46]

Very nice Cutty!

[smiling-knife]

This Jackknife is about 4 1/8 inches closed with knice stag. The knife was made by Harrison Bros & Howson circa 1880-1900. The tang, spring and bolsters are all flush at the end. The second photo (left) shows this and the size relative to a regular jack.

That is sweet SK!

[singin46]

Amazing SK, the fact that this was all done by hand too.

What's the difference between the 2231 SAB and the 31SAB?

I have been wondering the same thing? Mine is just stamped 31SAB. I think it is a 2231 though.



WOW Perry nice bunch of jacks That schatt is

[singin46]

Thanks Cutty A gift from upnorth, a few years ago. I will always treasure it!

What's the difference between the 2231 SAB and the 31SAB?

Hey TJ,

I did some research on this and here is the best I can tell...

In looking in Steve's book and my other price lists/reference materials, I see that only handle material that the 31 pattern was offered with a Saber blade was slick black, across multiple eras/years. All the reference material, refers to "2231-1/2 SAB", probably to avoid confusion.

I only have two CASE "2231-1/2 SAB". One is a 1974 like Cutty's, the other is a CASE XX as I posted. Both only have the "31 SAB" model stamp. Not sure why not the full pattern number, maybe Steve has some thoughts. My thought would be that only handle type offered/made in that frame with a Saber blade.

A pic of the 31SAB XX pile side I posted. Can't see the whole stamp but I just checked the knife, "31SAB". You can see that the model number starts with a 3 and is not preceded by "22", if you enlarge the pic.

BTW, in my research on this I found out that the 4231-1/2 I posted is "somewhat scarce" according to Steve's book. Notice the lack of shield. Was a SFO and some had advertising.

Regards, Jerry

[tjmurphy]

Thanks Jerry. The one that I have has only the 31SAB pattern number. Case XX USA (64-69). The 2231 would also fit this description: 2-blades, slick black handles.

Beautiful knife upnorth! Even though I am a Case collector, I do appreciate other manufacturer's knives.

Perry, some beautiful knives! What model is the USA Rough Black?

Thanks for the info on the 31SAB.
