All About Pocket Knives

Wow! I don't know if I can compete with some of those, but I will try. These range from 4 1/8 to 4 1/4 inches. Lamplough Cutlery (German), Schrade Cutco, and Case 1965-69 5299 1/2. The Schrade does not have half stops but the other two do.

Great lookin bunch of Jacks guys!!!! I have a few myself.
Schrade Cut Co, Hammer and even an older American Shear Co. in Ebony.

I am a Case collector but I know what I like Case or not

OE, love the stag on that one.

TR, real pretty knive, all of them. But being a CASE guy, love the 99 "Rail Splitter"

Singin, All beauties but I love the green bone on the middle knife.

Here is another couple...

CASE XX 6299 in Rough Black 4-1/8"

CASE XX 6294 in what I consider to be CASE XX Red Bone (opinions may vary) 4-1/4"

Nice jacks everybody





Here's my 6dot, '74, 31 SAB

Very nice Cutty!

This Jackknife is about 4 1/8 inches closed with knice stag. The knife was made by Harrison Bros & Howson circa 1880-1900. The tang, spring and bolsters are all flush at the end. The second photo (left) shows this and the size relative to a regular jack.

That is sweet SK!

Amazing SK, the fact that this was all done by hand too.

Hope you are coming back to Eugene next April, Mr. Singing!
Great show, and my pleasure to meet you! Nice knife you picked up also!!
Mike, that IXL jack is Killer!
There are too many beautiful Jacks in this thread, but I can't help but post this guy I recently acquired from Ebay (Ebay's not ALL bad!)
Real early Schrade Cut, a full four inches long!! Bear trappish as well!

I have been wondering the same thing? Mine is just stamped 31SAB. I think it is a 2231 though.

Thanks Cutty A gift from upnorth, a few years ago. I will always treasure it!

Hey TJ,

I did some research on this and here is the best I can tell...

In looking in Steve's book and my other price lists/reference materials, I see that only handle material that the 31 pattern was offered with a Saber blade was slick black, across multiple eras/years. All the reference material, refers to "2231-1/2 SAB", probably to avoid confusion.

I only have two CASE "2231-1/2 SAB". One is a 1974 like Cutty's, the other is a CASE XX as I posted. Both only have the "31 SAB" model stamp. Not sure why not the full pattern number, maybe Steve has some thoughts. My thought would be that only handle type offered/made in that frame with a Saber blade.

A pic of the 31SAB XX pile side I posted. Can't see the whole stamp but I just checked the knife, "31SAB". You can see that the model number starts with a 3 and is not preceded by "22", if you enlarge the pic.

BTW, in my research on this I found out that the 4231-1/2 I posted is "somewhat scarce" according to Steve's book. Notice the lack of shield. Was a SFO and some had advertising.

Regards, Jerry

Thanks Jerry. The one that I have has only the 31SAB pattern number. Case XX USA (64-69). The 2231 would also fit this description: 2-blades, slick black handles.

No problem TJ. Hope it helped. Nice USA you got there.

Nice 31SAB Cutty!

Some awesome stag S-K!

Beautiful knife upnorth! Even though I am a Case collector, I do appreciate other manufacturer's knives.

Perry, some beautiful knives! What model is the USA Rough Black?

Couple of CASE TESTED 31 frames...

CASE TESTED 6231 (possibly a 62031) Long pull "Bearhead" in Rough Black

CASE TESTED 6231-1/2 Long Pull in Rough Black

Regards, Jerry

Nice 31's Jerry

Thanks for the info on the 31SAB.

Hey Jerry, thanks for asking, it's a 6235. She snaps like a gator too!

CASE XX 62031-1/2 Barehead
