All in on jacks

Thanks Doug, I gave it a cleaning, soap and water, cleaned out the handle and pivots, alcohol in the pivots and blades, and a healthy dose of mineral oil. I wanted to leave the original patina intact.

That Case is real looker.

Thanks. Here is the other side of the 6232 with an old Camillus I picked up a while back from Vanguard. I really like the blades and the size of the knife, but the black plastic scales don't do much for me. I have some hunter green jigged bone to put on it, just need to save up some $ to get it done.

And one of the Camillus by itself:

I always like looking at that Camillus. It's similar to the first knife I carried as a boy back in the late 50's. An equal end jack with a wide clip blade paired with a pen blade, black scales and carbon steel blades. Mine was already old and well used when my Dad first let me start carrying it. I have no idea of the maker. Haven't seen that first knife of mine since the mid 60's. But I like looking at yours. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the scales. That'll be awesome.
 
Here's a few old Jack knives... Thanks for looking. :D

Doug it's a nice one! Thanks... The blades are real thick at the top, But they get nice and thin. Check
out this pic... it's blurry, But you can still see how thick it is...

Jason, that Remington Sheepstfoot Swayback is a stunner for sure-Whew!
Vanguard, everytime I see that H&B of yours I go WOW!, I apologise for not commenting on it before-but this is not to say that it hasnt Wowed me since I first saw it, thank you for posting that lovely old knife.
 
All of these have been previously posted in the "Old Knives" thread, so stop me if I'm repeating myself.

There have been several nice Robeson jacks posted in this thread already, so I'll not duplicate any of those.

All these pre-date WWII, except the 522482 stag trapper.
