Jacks or Better to Open...

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Jacks or Better to Open...

Post by woseyjales »

Lately I seem to be reverting to my roots with fondness for
the 2 bladed Jack knife varieties. Still like my stockmans but
Jacks reduce my odds of getting cut by 33.33% ::nod::

WOO-HOO! Them's nice. I like Jack's too but I've still got a 50/50 chance of cutting myself.

BigH, I'd say those definitely count.
If they don't, they ought to.
What is the next to last one?
Doesn't quite look like an 032
so I'll guesstimate it's a 44.
Sure has great color don't it?

Whew! I'm glad to hear that,
I been trying to remember what a small torpedo
pattern number might be.
Didn't come up with anything.
So 4 99.5s suit me just fine!
Figure I need to grab one of those mo'linneum 99s
soon as I can get it to the front page of my wish list.

So many kanives so mini money. 8)

Yep, I figured catfish was close enough to Clemson
w/o calling it a tigerfish lure. :mrgreen:
Since Gino broke the 'others' barrier w/his fine
Schplatt & Mormon Jack, guess I can sneak a few
of my uddins in here. Long as CASE don't find out I
should be alright. Don't think AAPK will mind.
Could be wrong though, it has happened before. :shock:

How about an old Case Bros harness jack. It's in a little rough shape but not too bad.
