Thanks Ike. I think the EO's would make a good display, arranged like those in the picture in one of those glass front display cases.

Great herd of EOs, Jerry! ::tu::
Fantastic showing of jacks, John! ::tu:: All beauties, but that Keen Kutter EO and the Robeson jumbo with the great blade etch are my favorites.

Great knives in this thread!

I go by the quote above when classifying "Jack Knives". I only have three of them.

I don't separate modern knives into "Jack" and "Pen" sub-catagories based on length and/or "stoutness". To me, there is no such thing as a modern "pen knife". Pen knives are for sharpening quill pens.

That said, I often tell people I collect "pen knives". Non-knife folks around here see any small folding knife as a "pen knife".
