Thanks Lyle, hard to come by in the modern days

sweet knives in here

picked up this camillus

Here's my camillus. Very nice looking knives posted on this thread

Very nice knives guys. This one is a Wyeth Warranted Cutlery.

Charlie that's a fine looking knife. I love the bone handles.

Here are three that I have:
Camillus 64
Kutmaster 4 blade.
HSB
Western
EDIT: Not sure I can classify the Kutmaster as a harness jack as it has 4 blades rather than the usual 3.

My first harness jack is an unusual one.

That is one unique Harness Jack Dave ... in fact the pivot bolster is obviously quite unique as well and right up your alley ... celluloid handles so guess it will have a home to itself - what is the maker stamp on that knife?? ... very cool

Thanks a lot, Lee. The tang stamp is worn but I'm pretty sure it's made by Utica. I can read Utica, NY and I believe I can see remnants of Utica's "UTK Supreme" trademark stamped on the tang. Yeah, the handles are celluloid. Luckily they appear to be stable, but it'll have to be quarantined anyways just in case. Hopefully they'll stay stable.

That is a cool knife and a pretty rare stamp Dave.

Thanks, Lyle.

Dave, that Utica is crazy cool.

Thanks a lot, David. I really like the pattern, and the celluloid handles pushed it over the top. It was one of those knives where I saw it and immediately knew I had to have it.

Hey Guys, One of my recent Pick-ups is this IKCo Harness jack. Very sweet knife & Powerful
Thx for looking
Mark

Here's my favorite Harness Jack, (thanks Mark). It's an early Winchester with a Napanoch punch. You can get a copy of original patents at;

Great site.
Thanks,

Killer KILLER knife Mr. Kerry and Its surely a Rare HARNESS JACK!!! Wonderful example to be shown on this thread. Can you perhaps show a "Book" picture of the Winchester model# to go along with the knife??
Thx Danno for the Compliments Sir
Kind Regards,
Mark

Thanks Mark. You are the master knife hound when it comes to finding unique, genuine knives!

I hope to post a book picture tomorrow. Attached is a list of patent dates and numbers for different knife companies. It's a good way to help verify knife authenticity.

Thanks, Mark. I've seen pictures of those Cattaraugus knives with the dog-bone bolsters. The bolsters were different from my knife (they were more unusual and cooler). That's a knife I've always wanted, but sadly I haven't been able to acquire yet.

Here's the book picture for the Winchester harness,2660. Note the extra middle pin and different punch.
Also the source document for the punch patents.

Dave you are RIGHT SIR and thank you for jogging my memory,,,Them HANDLES looked IDENTICAL to the Catt Dog Bone that I once owned. It was about 7yrs ago that I owned it and Honestly, Have never seen another one sense then. I didnt realize how Scarce they were,,someone got a good deal from me, LMAO. Live & learn huh!!!! hahahah
