Nice family portrait! I've never seen the axe model.

Thank you. The axe is a prototype and so far I’ve only seen and heard of one.

Is it a wire handle folding axe?

Yep.

Wow! That's nice! It has to be the unicorn of wire handle folders.

Did not know that existed.

Today I received this Geo. Schrade, single blade, wire handle pocket knife. It received a minor, gentle, cleaning. The "before" pictures are 8 posts above this one. These are MY pictures.

I just bought this pocket knife. Another Geo. Schrade, single blade, wire handle, jack knife (non-scouting utensil). Hopefully I'll receive it within a week. I'll clean it and post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

That's the one. Oregon has the only one I know of. He's helped me with his knowledge, locating and identifying individual knives and his friendship.

I don't believe that I've "talked" to him directly, but I have read his many, many posts. I have found them to be quite informative, educational and best of all, enjoyable.

I just acquired another Geo Schrade, single blade, wire jack, pocket knife. I should get it within a week. When I receive it, I'll give it the once over. It looks to be in FANTASTIC condition. I'll post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

Today this pocket knife arrived. Another Geo. Schrade, single blade, wire handle, jack knife. However, this one doesn't have a cap lifter/bottle opener. The "before" pictures are 5 posts above this one. I gave it a cleaning and here are MY pictures of it.

As of my previous post, the one above this one, I now have a total of 20, Geo. Schrade, wire handle, jack knives. Out of the 20, there are 9 different tang stamps. I thought it would be interesting to show them. They are not in any particular order. According to the tang stamps at this link, http://collectors-of-schrades-r.us/arti ... 20Jack.pdf
there are 13 tang stamps. Now to locate and obtain the other 4.

Cool parade of the different tang stamps.

Awesome new Windsor you even got that first stamp!!

Thank you BFORSE. Oh, the name is Skip.

This wire-jack arrived today. It didn't require much cleaning at all. These are my pictures.

I just acquired these two, Geo. Schrade, single blade, wire handle, jack pocket knives. Each has a different patent date (1926 & 1942). They both appear to be in pretty good shape. When I receive them, I'll give each one the once over. I'll post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These are the seller's pictures.

Today I'm adding these two Geo. Schrade, single blade, wire jack pocket knives to the collection. One is a hawkbill pruner. They were both in pretty good shape and didn't require any special cleaning. They are pictured below.

That’s some really nice knives Skip Enjoyed looking at them.

Hey Skip. Just a friendly heads-up. There is a Case wirejack in the AAPK store. Looks great from quick glance. But the feller want's over $270 for it.

No problem .

This Geo. Schrade, wire jack, pocket knife, should be joining my collection sometime next week. It appears that the blade may need a little cleaning. When I receive it, it'll get the once over. I'll take some pictures and post them.
