1st a three inch single blade easy open Jack made by Syracuse Knife Company. The tang stamp has the arched "Syracuse" over Straight line Knife Company, over Syracuse N.Y. From my research this stamp was from 1935-1940, but was produced by Camillus. This one has some wear, but the blade is tight and has great snap and solid half stop. I am proud of this one, I've got a whopping $12 dollars in it.

The next one is a Kutmaster 3-5/8" equal end jack. The handles appear to be bone. There is a sliver cracked off the pile side handle on the top, and you can see the textures looking down on the handle. I had to do a mineral oil bath & flush and some cleaning. It was tight and had some light surface rust. It had been sitting in a drawer or toolbox somewhere for a while. Inside was pretty gunky. The main blade has good snap, but the pen blade is on the weak side. But it cleaned up nice. I just need to dress the blades with a good sharpening and it will be ready for my EDC rotation.
