That's such a beautiful knife, John. It doesn't seem like they could get any better than that.

Picked up another nice Empire, 3 3/8" jack with great stag, full blades with a very faint Empire Brand etch. Love how stag goes bolster to bolster unlike modern knives. Also has a wrap around spring, not all that common.

You've got another beauty, John. Good for you.
I'm glad these great knives are in a good collection.
That wrap around spring is a nice touch.

Thanks to Roger was able to add another nice Empire to the sheepsfoot jack collection, a curved jack in ebony with a "For New England Whalers" etch. I would think this one dates late 1800's early 1900's.

I see why the stag is dark on the farmers jack Ken Erickson made Charlie to match Empire's stag.
John you need a bigger boat.

John, that is an extremely attractive piece of cutlery, love that pattern and those bolsters with ebony.
