Jack Knife Ben

[FRJ]

Here's a neat old cattle knife marked "Jack Knife Ben" Chicago. 3 5/8" closed.
A little worse for wear but it's kind of old and kind of snappy.

Nice survivor!


I've got a Cattleman's knife, Joe, but there's a feller around here who has a lot more. I think mine started life as a Robeson.

Here's some more-

A good looking old knife there, John.
Love that punch.

I hope that feller pokes his nose in here and comments on these knives.
I always like his posts.

Thank you Ike, I'm glad you like it.

Nice one Joe, now show us more of the loot you got today. Got that Gardiner all oiled and snappy? I don't know where I was, you and Ben got some great old knives. I didn't even see them on the tables, I was too focused on the fixed blades as usual.

Thank you, John, old bone is great to roll in.
Just love that stuff.

Thank you Gene, with the fabulous Randalls you showed me today, no wonder you would look else where.
I am so glad you liked my knives. And it was such a pleasure to meet Elved. (sp)

There are two different Jack Knife Ben “cattle/ stock “ styles shown here. The shields and punch blades tell different manufactures and dates from Napanoch, Schrade, Robeson, and 1890 to 1940. It has been fun trying to figure them out.
