Cult of the Texas Jack; why should the peaNUTS get all the glory

Summer not over yet!

I love this thread! A new outdoor store opened in my area called "Fin,Fur, and Feather", and they have an impressive knife department. My budget right now only allowed me to pick up 2016 TJ. After seeing all the amber bone pics here I had to pick one up. I then preceded to age it to try and resemble the old Case XX Tested greenbone. This is a great slicer and watchpocket carry knife.

Where are you located?Fin,Feather,Fur started in my home state of ohio,just curious

Here’s one from 1965-69, no dots.

I bought this 1982 large Texas Jack, because it is reminiscent of the vintage green bone versions. ( I do not believe I will ever be willing to spring for a vintage green bone.) The fact that it was a TJ made it even harder to resist.

This needs work, but I was happy to get it for $2.50.

Glad I didn't buy that one on the bay.

A Medium Jack... Still a Texas Jack to me...

A Medium Jack... Still a Texas Jack to me...

I'd argue medium jacks count too. The one on the bottom in this picture was labelled "texas jack" on the box, if i remember correctly. It corresponds with Case pattern 22087, now called a "medium jack".
I bought it well before I was a certified knife nut, at a small hardware store in Boonville, CA. I bought it partly because I liked the name "texas jack" on the box, partly because my wife gave me the instantaneous thumbs-up and thought it would look nicer than my Griptilian that I had been carrying. But I mostly bought it because it reminded me of grandad's stockman knives (three pictured above it).

I finally picked up a Texas Jack to see what all the fuss was about I like the stag on this one it will make a fine user.


And pile side for JohnDF

I was thinking it's about time to resurrect this thread ... here's my stash of 32's. I've always been surprised how few bone options Case offers in the 32 jack pattern. Add the amber & chestnut to these 3 and that's about all they offered in recent years...

I didn’t know this thread existed. Good timing for me as I picked this one up recently. I figured it was imperative to own one being a resident of this fine state. It’s a 6292 from 1940-1964. Is there a way to nail down the date more precisely?

Reviving this thread because I like the TJ and have a "new-to-me" chestnut brown scheduled in later this week. Plus, the recent "not-so-happy-with-the-Peanut" crowd may like to see this fantastic alternative. Viva la Texas Jack!!!
