Man Wayne that big spear blade sure makes those knives even more outstanding. Seems Case quit worrying about the hafting as time went on,or was it the quality of the stag?

Don't know why I haven't posted anything here.

This is a great thread. Some beautiful old as well as newer knives being shown here.

Here are some Robesons and a Terrier that fall within the "Jumbo Jack" definition.

I think it was lack of quality work.

Here are a few groups of what I would call Jumbo Jacks. The first knives are Case '94 style knives (EE Jacks 4 1/4" (+/-) long) the last group are 3 7/8" (+/-) knives with the extra thick (3/16") backsprings. I threw in an oddball Ulster in the last picture. It's an EE bareheaded jack.

Not quite sure why the pictures are different sizes, I may have specified a smaller size when I emailed them from my phone ::shrug::

This Miller Bros Jumbo Jack is a handful for sure... 4 & 1/4" long with the classic brass screws and Miller Bros jigged bone handles. Knife is in great shape with hard snaps, half-stops etc though blades have a few scratch marks but sport a nice patina overall... jigged bone handles have no cracks or chips whatsoever... one of my favorites!

I've only seen one posted I thought might be a Camillus 23. At 4-3/16" closed, they weigh in at about ¼ lb. Kind of the definition of "Jumbo Jack".
