I Thought That I Had Previously Posted This Pocket Knife Here…I Didn’t.

A couple or a few years ago, there was a seller on eBay who had a large quantity of wire jack pocket knives with different blade styles AND from a wide variety of manufacturers. I am by no means an expert on wire jack pocket knives. I figured he was able to obtain quite a few wire jack frames, and assembled them with different styles of blades that had different tang stamps. Most of these "modified" wire jack pocket knives, have brass or bronze pivot pins. I waited for, and finally found one. A wire jack pocket knife WITHOUT any tang stamp, and I bought it. It measures 3 1/4" closed and 5 3/4" open. This pocket knife does have a WEAK half stop. This pocket knife does have an OK opening snap. This pocket knife does have a GOOD closing snap. This pocket knife is in EXCELLENT condition. This pocket knife did NOT need cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
