While we wait for the forum knife

Yeah r8shell, that S&M HJ has got to be related to this year's Forum knife. Certainly from the same family, maybe a close cousin. How do you like it? I found mine more useful (because of the punch) than I had expected.

Always liked equal end single spring patterns: here's a few




...Marshall-Wells from the 60's... Case Senator in stag 78 vintage... Everybody have a great day

Outstanding equal enders oldtymer!! Love the stag on those, especially on that Senator, BEAUTIFUL!!

Having a better day now thanks to both of your contributions. You folks are helping me! Any other equal enders out there might also make the wait for the 2016 Forum HJ a little easier and possibly more economical.

It's hard not to like the equal ends!

The favorite is the Northwoods IRJ in the center.

Mikael

I bought it because I wanted a Pennsylvania shield and saw it on the exchange for a sweet price. I found that I really, really like having a punch tool. (latest handy use: unblocking dried glue from the spout of a tube of epoxy)

I don't have a big collection, but I do have a few older equal end knives that I have been fortunate to pick up here and there.

Here's an old Ulster cattle knife I picked up at a flea market for $5 - could not believe it was in a box of odds-n-ends. Love the character of the bone, the long pull and the swedge on the clip:

This one is a Voos pen knife that belonged to my wife's grandfather, who worked for GM for many years. Silver scales (i think) with stainless blades. Doesn't get carried much, but a nice little knife with a connection to family:

Camillus that I picked up at an antique mall- another lucky find for less than $20. I don't think it ever got sharpened. Nice and heavy, feels good in the hand, rock solid.

Have a great evening!

Good stuff, Mike, thanks for posting.

Here's a little Robeson equal end gentlemen's pen with tip bolsters and MOP covers, pen and file combo, from late '20s.

Simmons Keen Kutter cattle knife, late '30s.

Robeson jack in butter & molasses celluloid, early '30s.

r8shell, I really, really like having a punch too, one of the reasons I'm so looking forward to the Forum knife. A punch gives a knife versatility... try unclogging an epoxy bottle's spout with a pen blade.

Nice group of special knives Mike. You're right about the Ulster, lots of character.

Three fantastic antiques Jeff, but that Robeson jack... so sweet now I want pancakes for breakfast!

Thank you all for sharing. -James-

It's a regular #68 with the penblade in place.

Thanks, James, that one is pretty special to me also. Normally I'm not a huge fan of equal end jacks, I'd rather have a teardrop or serpentine frame, but this little Robey is just so cute!

my favorite pattern and a long time EDC friend.

one of my latest purchases, really getting into the equal ends

Newly Acquired Equal Ender. Happy Indian Trails to you...

 

[BigBiscuit]

You got a beauty James. I'll be riding the trails later today too.

 

[redsparrow]

Thanks Bob. Had to do a little tweaking to get the blades moving more freely but other than that it's off to a very positive start with me. Love the size, thinness, blade combo, swedges, long pull, shield, jigging, Indian trails, color and materials. Basically what's not to like! Hope you are enjoying yours as much as I am mine.

Almost missed this one leghog. Glad I caught it today, love that rimfire classic.

2016 Forum Knife; fantastic design, well executed, destine to become a classic!
The Imperial is already a classic! And certainly has aged well, nice find r8shell. It reminds me of...

...this guy, who is living somewhat of a sequestered life (cellulose) really deserves to get out more often.

JP, that first one is beautiful. Such a distinguished looking knife. Are those Ebony covers?

Here's a repost of my Wooden Wednesday shot. This is GEC's 66 Equal End Serpentine pattern in the Calf roper Jack, Stockman, and Bullwinkle J. Moose configurations

redsparrow with your user name I would've thought Owls struck terror. You are right, it's very old time that pattern. I have acrylics and a scarce stainless one which I do use even if I prize it...

-I don't own a 68, but from pictures it looks like the 66 is pretty much just a 68 that got skewed down just a touch there at the center to make the serpentine.
