6235 1/2 right?

I think this is a 6235 1/2 but Sargent's doesn't have one listed without a bolster. Am I correct on this? It's 3 3/8"
It's a nice knife - too bad it's been so heavily buffed. The blades are kind of "soft," shall we say

Hey Eric. Could it be a 6216 1/2 ? Take a look in Sargent's 6th...
thank you!

you're probably right, although the picture in sargent's has the blades the other way around (but that's a USA)

You're right jonet 3-3/4, my bad. A&E, I'd kill for those handles, just a little nicer than slick black don't you think?

Hi;
Those old jacks were real work horses. They were used here on the coast to repair fishing net etc. Some of them they just used up. These two are a decade or so apart. Both blade configurations you spoke of.

thanks for showing

Moss,
thanks for showing those knives. And the bit of history. I always enjoy that.
And regardless of the handles, Bill, I REALLY like that old slick black Tested.
