Re: Old Knives With Sheepfoot Blades
Wow, I'm enjoying looking over everyone's nice old knives with Sheepfoot blades - cause I really like Sheepfoot blades - they are useful and appeal to my sense of aesthetics. I'll focus on those with Sheepfoot main blades, here are a few old ones (well, not really old, but at least not current production). OH
Deep in the guts of most men is buried the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the nape hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with club...Robert Ruark

Yes it is.Here are a couple of better pictures.The scales are checkered horn and the implements that slide into the handle are a pair of tweezers and a hook disgorger.The scale folds down and the hook goes into a small hole in the scale.royal0014 wrote:k7k, that last pic of a multi-tool...

Re: Old Knives With Sheepfoot Blades
I have a knife that seems to be the same pattern as yours, Jacknifeben. Is this one considered rare too? It obviously has a different shield.Jacknifeben wrote: ↑Sun Oct 19, 2014 2:11 pm Just remembered this old Jack Knife Ben. This is one rare knife.
Unfortunately someone used the blades in some other-worldly experience. I didn't care. I bought it at a knife show. It's the only Jack Knife Ben knife that I have ever seen and I didn't want leave without it. I would have regretted that.
