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.

I must confess that my latest acquisitions set me back a few clams, but I couldn't be more pleased; it was money well-spent IMHO (the tricky part is convincing my wife of the wisdom of my investments! )

You should know that I am not the original author of "Coon Fingering" and "Chicken Eyeing". I picked up those phrases from others on this forum and as you say, they are so appropriate that they just stick in your head.

GREAT Cutlery Q & Jerry!

I'll agree with QS to %!!!

I must say, you have a way with kinves & with words QS! "Quietly Spectacular" If I had to describe your description in less than 3 words..., I'd say it is (in itself), "Quietly Spectacular"! Sorry my friend, but I'm gonna have to use that one sometimes. It's just too good to forget & pretty hard to beat! It's like jerryd's "Coon Fingering", it just sticks in your head.
