Re: Sabre Pocket Knife
I picked up this Sabre electricians knife at our local flea market for a few bucks over the weekend. Very good condition and usable. I had not seen a Sabre electricians knife before this one. Tang stamp is Sabre Japan 535, it has the locking screwdriver blade as most electricians knives do, and is 3 3/4" overall closed length.

Re: Sabre Pocket Knife
I once had an identical Electrician's knife which was marked "Monarch". I believe that Sabre and Monarch were affiliated.
I modded it into a Barlow and gifted it to a friend. It hsd some good steel, and snapped lije a bear trap!

Re: Sabre Pocket Knife
I picked up this nice Sabre Barlow at our local fleamarket this weekend for an Abe. Does not look like it has been used. This one does not have a pattern number stamped on it, maybe the Barlows didn't. This one has bone handles, brass liners, and steel bolsters.

Re: Sabre Pocket Knife
I have this Sabre 603 jack that I think might actually be in a Remington or Winchester frame. The pivot pin has definitely been monkeyed with. I haven't seen any Sabre pocket knives with jigged bone like this or this color. The snap is excellent, pretty full blade that fills the well. The blade/spring depth is slightly off. It was in the Rusty Rooster Antique Mall $4 box.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I have a handful. I wouldn't hesitate to buy more of the right pattern (medium jack) for the right price.Stanwade wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 4:18 pm

Re: Sabre Pocket Knife
Okay, so maybe I would hesitate. I try not to buy cobbled knives.1967redrider wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 7:46 pmjerryd6818 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 4:50 pmI have a handful. I wouldn't hesitate to buy more of the right pattern (medium jack) for the right price.
How's $4, Jerry, but it might be cobbled.
However, it will cut.

Re: Sabre Pocket Knife
Your Monarch Hunter is missing the shield too. Herb added a shield to mine, and I'm really pleased with the end result.

Re: Sabre Pocket Knife
Picked this up with a Camillus Scoutie in a bag for $3. Didn't really want it but when I got it home and cleaned it up ,it's not a bad piece. Big knife, 6" closed, heavy brass like a Buck 110, decent wood and well made. Nice grinds. I'm not a fan of Asian knives but I have to admit this one "ain't bad". Shaving sharp. Far superior to any Pakistani copy. The shield is on the pile side , strange?

G-96 knives were sold by Jet-Aer Corp. of Paterson NJ and I believe all were made in Japan.I have a bunch of them and they are great knives.

Re: Sabre Pocket Knife
All of my Sabre Japan barlows take and hold a razor sharp edge. I'm of the opinion that they are made from fine steel, whatever composition it might be.

Re: Sabre Pocket Knife
I picked up this fishing knife to add to my Sabre pile yesterday for a single solitary dollar bill. It is in decent shape and doesn't look like it has been used much, although it has been sharpened.
