3 closed serpentine stockman. I really like the swedge on the main blade.

Beautiful stockman Mike! That swedge on the main blade is exceptional :thumbsup:

Thanks Lloyd. That swedge took a steady hand!

Thanks Primble. Happy to add it to your thread. If only I could take pictures like you.

Here's a bit of an oddball; I've only seen one other, actually owned by a fellow collector who lives not far from me. His is a bit more pristine. It looks to have had some kind of military connection judging by the build and implements, but I haven't been able to find any info about it. The knife is quite large, 5" closed. Looks like it was stored near some offgassing celluloid at some point but thankfully the damage is minimal:

A single main blade and can (or "tin") opener was a common design in British military "clasp knives." Great-looking piece.

"Quite large..."

That's a no nonsense Behemoth of a tool :thumbsup:

Thanks, Will

Mike Robuck · Oct 5, 2022

Wow, very cool knife Eric!

ea42 · Oct 5, 2022

Thanks guys!! Will it's definitely a behemoth! Could probably use it as a club! If I find any history on it I'll post it up.

I looked in my references and found nothing like it. I like the patina on your old treasure.

Larger-sized Hammer Brand Camp knife!! Wish I still had it . . . . . . . . .

Charlie that's a beauty! Looks like the old BB2 that they did. Very cool that it has the same style opener that the jack has.

I noticed that!! At first I thought the squared-off opener end was a broken tool, but soon realized it was made that way!! Two big knives!!

Bit of a "glamor shot" of this pearl 3204, the combo of the polished federal shield with the mother of pearl is a new favorite

Updated pictures of a few that have changed in appearance, in recent years.
I have a rare jack on the way to me that I will be posting soon.
