Re: Jacks or Better to Open...
Thanks Jerry, I have taken quite a liking to "rope" or "navy" blades lately (it started with a Buck 315 Yachtsman). I looked over your 6217 thread again and posted my thoughts on the subject there. OH

Sorry OH, I read this and forgot to reply and thank you for checking that out and verifing.

Lets's pump some life back into this thread...
CASE XX 05247SP I picked up from Steve. A real beauty in great shape. Nice stag! So at 3-1/2" this is technically a double ended jack, not a pen knife.

Re: Jacks or Better to Open...
Jerry, you are welcome - that's what we do here, help each other, right! (Besides enjoying each others nice knives of course!) Here are two Case jackknives I've picked up since I last posted in this thread (have shown them in the General forum); a 6207 Dogleg and a 6225 1/2 Coke bottle. The 6207 is fast becoming my favorite EDC pocket knife. OH
PS Beautiful stag on your new double end Jack.

Re: Jacks or Better to Open...
You all have a great bunch of knives.
I do love the Jack knife and the Texas jack is one of my favorite patterns of all time and I use the top one every day.This swell end jack in the AP bone is also one of my favorite knives.

Re: Jacks or Better to Open...
Just went through this thread from the start again. A great many beautiful knives posted. Since the two blade jack is my favourite pattern to carry and collect I thought I would bump this thread with these ones I have not previously posted in this thread.
From the left: a tested 6202, an XX 62024 1/2, an XX 6235 1/2, a 1975 6235 1/2 and a 1970 6231 1/2

Re: Jacks or Better to Open...
Nice pile Dan! I am especially partial to the green bone on the left! The red bone next to it is fine! Hell, all of those knives are real beautiful! Nice group.
Real pretty 14 you posted. 70' was the year (mid year) they transitioned to 100% Delrin. So I would consider that relatively scarce, in my opinion.
Here is a 6214 Delrin and Bone 70' example. Sure love that orange ish 70' bone. Nice pattern for sure.
EDIT: Sorry, I think I double posted these 14 patterns
Also, a minty saw cut red bone CASE XX USA 6143 Daddy Barlow, 5" closed.

Re: Jacks or Better to Open...
Thanks much for the compliment John!
Here is a CASE XX 620035-1/2LP made on contract. Some sort of plastic handles (not Delrin), thinner blade and backspring stock. Cheaper alternative in the day, to the CASE made 35, but still a CASE. Blades were tumbled polished as I understand it.
Here is some more info in case interested...

Re: Jacks or Better to Open...
Here is a CASE XX USA 32024-1/2. Discontinued in 1967', never to be heard from again. I imagine they are alittle scarce based on that fact.

Re: Jacks or Better to Open...
Those Case Jacks are some fine knives.....
But I really like the little blade in front of the big one. A nail nick on the other side always gives me trouble. My Peanut is always trying to hurt me when I'm getting the pen blade out!

Re: Jacks or Better to Open...
Another bunch of very nice knives there, Jerry. Thank you for the kind words on mine. I am looking forward to adding another tested green bone to my small collection of Case jacks.

Re: Jacks or Better to Open...
Hey Dan, I am sure one will be in your collection soon!
Here is a CASE XX USA Budding and Grafting knife, model 2109. Pretty sure discontinued in the USA era. Gunstock frame.
Don't be fooled by my bad pics and shadows. This knife has never budded or grafted in it's lifetime.
