Dang Vince, that's a pretty big pile you just pushed into the middle of the table.
I doubt anyone can match that; maybe if Charlie empties out his bank vault.
Mick, why was that blade shaped like that, or how was it used?

Hi Mike, the unusual shaped blade on the Wosty jack is for opening the backs of pocket watches.. apparently, really nicely forged and ground, not seen another quite like it ?.

I just went through this whole thread for the first time, and WOW is it some serious knife porn! I feel like I need a cigarette, and I quit smoking 14 years ago!

Brown Winterbottom bone

I saw this picture and had to check my pocket to see if this was still there.

Thanks Mick. Pretty cool blade.
So many nice jacks. Thanks to all who have posted. I have to say there are a couple of patterns that I really want now after going through these.
Wostenholm jack:
Winchester EO:
Tony Bose teardrop jack:
I think Ken Erickson said this was based on a jack:

Especially the EO Charlie. Love that propeller/bowtie shield.
