Thank you! I bet if it had real bone covers, it would've sold for 2-3 times what I paid for it. I think its from the late 70's-80's from the tang stamp and the use of derlin covers. It's a sweet little knife, really well made. I like this one especially because it doesn't have "CAMILLUS" stamped on the shield, makes it a bit classier I think.

this might sound like a stupid question, but wouldnt a peanut be considered a jack? or is it the shape of the handle\body that differs it from a jack?
Im only asking because of the similarity of the blade configuration \ size.
 
I think that's correct. From what I've learned, a "jack" simply has all the blades on the same end of the frame. So technically, a trapper is a jack, a barlow is a jack, and a peanut is also a jack.
 
Keep in mind that there are Jack patterns with a blade at both ends. These knives are considered "doubled ended Jacks". The difference between a double ended Jack and pen knife is generally the size. Here is an example of a double ended Jack.

The very collectable Sunfish pattern can be considered a Jack also.
 
Ken that is an amazing looking double ended jack with great blade combination. Outstanding!

I'm a little more partial to double end jacks I just couldn't never remember that term; thanks Ken! Here's some of my favorite DE jacks...

WOW

Just when I thought I was getting close to figuring out what I want in a slipjoint I see this!

Okay, so Jackknife is more of a general term and then there are patterns? What pattern would this knife be described as? Or am I not understanding this correctly?

Thanks for helping me understand.
