A couple of really nice traditional pocketknives up for your consideration. These have been lying around my knife drawer just a little too long now.
The first is an nice little AG Russell/Cattaraugus Knife Collector's Club #12 Split Bolster Jack (CM-12) from 1987. Serial number 1273. It measures 3" closed a with a single 2 3/16" mirror polished blade, nickel silver liners, bullet shield and pins.It has a few light scuffs on the bolsters (which I tried to show), but the dark jigged bone is solid and the blade is unmarked. Made in Japan like many of AG's better knives. The "split bolster lock" has an interesting locking mechanism, which is similar to a liner-lock or frame-lock. I believe the blade steel on these models was AUS-8 at an HRC of 57-59, and it is ground very thin.
Complete with original box and little plastic baggie - $45 TYD SPF
The next knife is a relist. Someone really should pick up this lovely knife. It a GEC Northfield serialized Courthouse Whittler with Coconut Palm handles. Mirror polished blades, not too stiff, half-stops on the smaller blades. Nearly mint with only a few minor scuffs on the bolsters that were there when I bought the knife. Comes with original tube, wax paper, and certificate - $90 Sold TYD.
Prices include PP fees and shipping CONUS. I'm mainly interested in straight sales, but you can try my out if you have a trade in mind. Sometimes available knives outnumber available dollars - I know.
Thanks all and have a great Monday.
