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.

Very nice, Joe, I especially like the Southington dogleg jack!
Great herd of EOs, Jerry!
Fantastic showing of jacks, John!
All beauties, but that Keen Kutter EO and the Robeson jumbo with the great blade etch are my favorites.

Re: Some knives named Jack, but not English Show me yours.
Great knives in this thread!
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".

I go by the quote above when classifying "Jack Knives". I only have three of them.Old Hunter wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2018 12:52 am ...To me a jackknife is a two blade pocketknife with both blades pinned on the same end that doesn't have another assigned name (i.e., Barlow, Trapper, etc.)
