6235 1/2 right?

[A&E]

I think this is a 6235 1/2 but Sargent's doesn't have one listed without a bolster. Am I correct on this? It's 3 3/8"

It's a nice knife - too bad it's been so heavily buffed. The blades are kind of "soft," shall we say

hey eric, nice old case! could it be a 6216 1/2?

[WelderBob]

Hey Eric. Could it be a 6216 1/2 ? Take a look in Sargent's 6th...

[A&E]

you're probably right, although the picture in sargent's has the blades the other way around (but that's a USA)

[jonet143]

look in ferguson's romance or some of the parker/voyles books.

great looking old knife. it looks like a 6216 1/2 to me too. its pictured in volume 8 of the pocket traders price guide and has the main blade in front.

Looks like it may be a 31-1/2. Here's one that I have. At any rate thats one beautiful knife!

[jonet143]

i think your 2231 1/2 is 3 3/4" long

[A&E]

that's a beauty . . . blades are much fuller than mine. very nice.

You're right jonet 3-3/4, my bad. A&E, I'd kill for those handles, just a little nicer than slick black don't you think?

Hi;
Those old jacks were real work horses. They were used here on the coast to repair fishing net etc. Some of them they just used up. These two are a decade or so apart. Both blade configurations you spoke of.

Moss,

thanks for showing those knives. And the bit of history. I always enjoy that.

And regardless of the handles, Bill, I REALLY like that old slick black Tested.
