Passaic Knife Co.
Here's a 3 5/8" Passiac Knife Co. jack.
I guess there's not many around.
If you want to see one much prettier than mine, go to: post pick ups here ..... p. 260 .....
DCGM4 aka Dave has a real beauty there. MOP pen.

I'd say that jack's plenty pretty, Joe!
A little wood oil on the scales at that thing will sparkle.

Great knife, Joe. I will take ebony over pearl any day. Do still like pearl, though.

Re: Passaic Knife Co.
Thank you, Scott.
I'm not sure what Dave is referring to in terms of "wood oil", but I would put mineral oil on these scales. I like to use it on my kitchen knives too. It gives wooden handles a nice look.

Re: Passaic Knife Co.
I'm sure the pearl handled pen you referenced is nice, but I can tell you without looking that I like that ebony jack better.
That's a nice knife from a seldom encountered maker.
I fool around with five string banjos. Most banjos have an ebony fingerboard. Most of the collectors and custom builders on the banjo website I frequent prefer sesame seed oil to treat and preserve the ebony.
I have no idea what effect it might have on carbon steel.
I've yet to use it on one of my banjos or a knife.
I think they've said it's available in the spice department of the supermarket or at a pharmacy.
I'll check.

Linseed oil is good for wood along with many other uses.

Re: Passaic Knife Co.
Here is one marked Linden Knife Co. Possibly Linden NJ? The bone has typical New Jersey jigging (thanks to Dimitri for teaching me that).

Re: Passaic Knife Co.
Thanks for showing that good looking knife, Steve. I hope I can remember to associate that jigging style to New Jersey knives. This knife has a unique tip on the spear blade. At least that's how it looks to me. It looks like it never quite completed the grinding process.
