Easy Openers

[Mike Robuck]

Thanks @Will Power and @Campbellclanman. Will, we used to walk under the power lines looking for those insulators. I have never seen a yellow one.
Great knives and pictures @herder and Cal.

Lloyd- Stunning trio there my friend, each is an beautiful example!

Some more stunning examples from tongueriver and Luger1952.
Thanks Campbellclanman and Mike R., and your NYK is fantastic.
Will Power, It seems that the English cutlers were still able to build a few decent knives shortly after WWII, but not for long after that.
And thanks waynorth for posting so many great examples.

Here is an early 1900s Wadsworth which was made in Germany.

I created a post w while back in another subform without realizing this thread already existed. So just contributing to this one as well. My grandfather passed in 1977 and my Grandmother passed a couple years ago. One of the many items I inherited was a bag o' knives. After cleaning a few up to remove 40 years of gunk, this easy open Camillus is an instant favorite. Love that easy open blade and that sucker is sharp, sharp sharp!

Herder!- Yet another stunning example my friend, Love that Bone.

Agreed with our Friend Knowtracks- @cupton having Grandad's knife would be very cool!

Just after midnight so it's Christmas Eve, a bottle-opener & a citrus cutter may come in useful

I guess you might say that I like easy open knives.

Man oh man I wish that the whaler I used to have was an EO! I got tired of busting thumbnails and passed it on. That‘s a beautiful knife! They all are beautiful knives!

Kind of getting back from a hiatus... I've been meaning to post this knife for quite some time. Got it shortly after getting my first ever harness jack; the Rider by CC.

I want to make a separate post about this as I have some questions. I believe this Cattaraugus Easy Open Harness Jack is likely from 1910-1920. But this is just a guess based on some old research of mine. It has no pattern number stamped. I believe it is covered with ebony. Half stop on the main blade, but not on the punch.
