When Black Jack (Effington, IL tang stamp) bought Cripple Creek from Cargill they were supposedly going to make the knives in
n the image below. That never happened. Only the large Buffalo Skinner was made in number.
Cargill's machinery from his shop was part of the sale and he did try and school some of Black Jacks people on how to make slipjoints.
More on that later.
This pattern was only made as a prototype. The prototypes must have been made in stag and bone. Possibly pearl too.
Sweet little knife.
