Hello all,
Here is a knife I picked up last year I believe in a lot. It was so nice other than a weak closing snap I decided to have Muskrat Man do the light welding repair, no other changes. Made on Contract by NYKC for HSB.
This is the picture I always think of when I hear the term Jack knife. Single blade, heavy duty spine, and crazy walk and talk. A cousin to the infamous "Hercules" the two bladed version.
Fine work once again MM, Bonehead

Re: Working Knife " Jumbo Jack"
Thanks Guys!
I have both the NYKC and the HSB single and double blade versions of the same knife. The only other vintage Jack I have in the is style that is heavier yet is a Northfield.
IM, Yes I understand you.... Once we send something off we have to be patient and its hurts. MM work is worth waiting for BH

Reminds me of the old heavy Robeson "BULLDOG", which was a two blade knife. And, a pattern of which I've never acquired a good example.
