JAEGER BROS. Marinette, WI

Post by 98src »

I just received this one in the mail and it is my first Jaeger Bros. Would this pattern be called a camp knife? it's about 3 1/2" closed and still has the factory edges although with some staining and light pitting.

Sweet looking knife! I'd call it a champagne pattern.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

I'm going to slightly disagree on the champagne pattern. It has that appearance but lacks a wire cutter and that screw-driver/cap lifter seems out of place. ::shrug:: ::handshake:: J.O'.

Yes, the caplifter would make sense for a bartenders knife.

That is a great find. Jaeger Bros knives are few and far between. The only one I have is this bone handled 4 and 1/4 inch large cigar that I bought for a dollar because it had a broken blade. Chances of finding a donor are zero, so I made a new blade from 1095 barstock. Interesting that yours has a 4 line tang stamp and mine has a 3 line.
