All About Pocket Knives

Went and visited a new antique shop today and boy, was I glad I did. I happened onto 3 revolving displays of knives, most of which are folders. Then to sweetin' the deal, all the knives were 30% marked down. I spent a long time and handled a lot of really nice pocket knives. I finally decided on a KA-Bar jack, stamped Olean, N.Y.. No pattern # on it though. The knife measures 4 1/8 inches closed, 7 1/4 opened. Both blades have excellent snap, no wobble. Handles are jigged bone and are clean, no chips or cracks. Price / Zalesky's collectors book dates the tang stamp from 1923 - 1951. I'm just looooovin' this knife. Dale

Hey, Dale. I've got one of those. I'm sure it's the same knife. My handles were gassing out so I took the handles off, but it is a great knife. Can't wait to get it repaired.
