Charlie, I agree about the EO! I have an S&A jack inbound but without the Centaur mark. First time I've seen one with that stamp so thanks for posting it was well. I thought those were German imports according to LG4?

Here is a little Imperial Jack that is as close to my first ever slippie as I have been able to find.
My newest Jack, a Texas Jack in CV.
This is my former Jack (now residing across the pond) Alsdorf Teardrop Jack.
Brett Dowell Dogleg Jack featuring ATS-34 and Micarta.
The ubiquitous Swayback Jack. Chestnut bone, CV blades, and worthy of all it's praise.
Tidioute Sheepsfoot/Pen Jack. Red jigged bone and 1095 steel. I like to carve with it.
The peanut. Looks like a little Dogleg Jack to me. This is a sterile Amherst Cutlery dressed in Stag and a mystery stainless steel.
This is a Case/Ruger Pocket Hunter. SS and Stag. I really did not think of these as a Jack, but I think I saw it's daddy in another post here so...
Last, but certainly not least is a working knife for sure. Kerry Hampton built Shadow Lanny's Clip in Linen/Canvas Micarta and etched A2 steel. Badass, I know.

Russell, those Northfield Big Jacks sure have some sexy blade grinds. Great pic.
My first ever GEC was a Tidioute Big Jack in burnt grizzly bone. As they say, "Bet ya can't eat just one!"

Wow Charlie, that's some stabber jack! You guys have posted some INCREDIBLE stuff!!!
Going to the opposite end of the size scale, here's a little Keen Kutter quill knife, used for cutting a good point on quill pens (hence the name "pen" blade). You notice a lot of the older multi-blade knives such as the old Sheffield examples had a similarly sized, or even smaller and thinner pen blade for just the same reason. A larger blade, like today's so called pen blades, would have destroyed the quill.

And going even smaller, a TINY little pearl handled Ulster:
