Vintage Texas Jacks
Not an easy pattern to find in good condition. Also called a Moose pattern they are large knives and the blades are impressive. If you have any old ones please post them here

Here's a lousy picture of my old Moose.
That's a fine looking knife, Dimetri.

A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

Re: Vintage Texas Jacks
Would this be an old Texas Jack? I'm not sure what make this is...I can only see USA stamped on the Blade, missing shield, and unusual to only have one pin? This cuts like a champ and won the cardboard cutting competition in my garage on garbage night.

Re: Vintage Texas Jacks
Always a pleasure to see these fine examples.
Gus ,I am in love with that Camillus,fine examples throughout,as usual Dimitri,Charlie and Roger.All knives shown are nice. I like these big single spring jacks. Sorry guys ,I like the newer Queen Blue Grass Winchesters.
Dimitri ,that last H Boker of Greedy's looks like the bone on my Cutsure and Camillus rooster combs.

Lots of nice knives posted in this thread! Thanks to all for posting. That Surveyor pattern is VERY nice; wish I had one. I've posted these before, but here's three H. Boker swell-center moose pattern knives.

Re: Vintage Texas Jacks
Mr. Gulo....I've got to say, you have some of the most beautiful old knives I've ever seen. Anytime you post up pictures they are pretty much all stunningly drool inducing. Thank you for sharing them with us, they are most definitely appreciated!

Re: Vintage Texas Jacks
Once again AAPK has educated me. I did not know the Moose pattern was also called a "Texas Jack". I had always been under the impression that a "Texas Jack" was a large (4" closed) two blade jack with a clip and a pen on the same end.
