I seem to have become enamored with the single blade spear point jackknife and I would like to get some suggestions from this group as to what would be a good addition to my current collection listed below. Not looking to spend more than $125.00 and, as with my current below collection, I like to carry what I buy. Right now I’m looking at an S&M Tear Drop with Buffalo Horn handles. Anyway thanks in advance for your suggestions.

S&M Hertiage Jack
S&M Keystone Series #69 Barlow Winterbottone Bone
Northwoods Indian River Jack in Yellow Bone

Hey fairhaven, thanks for the feedback and if this keeps up I will be spending my day at work researching and adding to my list if "next knife to purchase".
 
I'd choose the IR Jack or a GEC #77 in either a single-blade Jack or Barlow pattern.
 
My opinion, buy one of each. All are great knives.
Have you ever looked at 2 blades jacks, like Northwoods swell center jack ?
 
I recently picked up a Schatt & Morgan Heritage jack with a single spear blade that I really like. Little bit of a light pull but I like it like that as it makes it easily pinched open.

Hey Jake I have Heritage jack and really like it and yes the blade can easily be pinched open.
Will eventually have a nice collection of single spear blades as they are very esthetically pleasing to my eye.

Tidioute #15 Boy's Knife, Single Spear, Antique Yellow Jigged Bone.

+1:thumbup: Tidioute #15 is a must have for any collection (preferably in Antique Yellow Jigged Bone). Look no futher!:)

#15 spear point, either a Boy's Knife or Tom's Choice Barlow (if you can find one).
There's also a spear point Pony Jack. That's a GEC #68.
I'm happy with the Queen Heritage Jack.
The Schatt & Morgan English Jack from a few years back is outstanding.

If you could tolerate a clip point, the English jack with jigged bone from Queen City Cutlery is really nice. :thumbup:
