How many of the copper blade wire-jacks do you have?
And do you or do you not have the wire-jack hatchet?

I have two of copper blades. I do not have the hatchet unfortunately. I am also looking for the small hawkbill with the Case tang stamp and I'd really like to find the early small spearpoint without the bottle opener. I lost out on that one when I got sniped on Ebay.

Those copper knives are BEAUTIFUL!! ::tu:: I'm still l👀king for the Case tang stamp myself. It's a shame that the AAPK store that has one, wants $200 (still) for it. In case you forgot, here's the link:

And it's in lousy condition. I've never been able to confirm it but I believe the Case came in other blade shapes besides the hawkbill. I think they were available in clip and wharncliffe.

I just bought this knife. Definitely OVERPAID, but I wanted it and like the saying goes......you can't take it with you. It's another GEO SCHRADE, single blade and fish scaler, wire handle pocket knife. This particular knife has two tang stamps. When I receive it, I'll clean it up a bit. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

We've got to stop bidding against each other. We're driving up the prices unreasonably. I wanted it because of the two tang stamps but I guess you wanted it more.

I just edited my post as you were posting. I haven't checked yet, but I think this will be my third, double tang stamp, on this style of knife.

The wire-jack that you told me about, that I haven't received yet, has the double tang stamp.

As far as a trade.............maybe at some point down the road.

I just checked my inventory. Yes, I will have a total of three, double tang stamped, GEO SCHRADE, single blade & fish scaler, wire handle pocket knives (when the other two arrive). Oddly enough, all three are the blade & scaler style.

This morning, my trip to the post office produced these two knives. The first 4 pictures, a GEO SCHRADE, single blade, wire handle pocket knife. It required a very minor cleaning. The last 4 pictures, a GEO SCHRADE, single blade & fish scaler, wire handle pocket knife. This particular knife has two tang stamps. It needed no cleaning. I took some pictures and here are the knives.
