Easy Openers

[Augie]

Somehow I missed this thread, lots of nice easy openers being shown. Easy openers are a pattern I like to add to the collection whenever I can find nice examples.

Start with some Camillus made ones, love the fat spear easy open knives, pretty sure the Hibbard Spencer & Bartlett was made by Camillus.

Then 2 types of military easy open jacks, the 4 line would be from WW2 with a bail and the short line just after WW2 for the civilian market.

 

[Augie]

A pair of Remingtons and a Nagle, Nagles were only made a few years around 1916.

A Simmons Hardware, a Bridge Cutlery and a Russell. The Bridge was most likely made by Schrade Cut Co.

An unusual Boker fish knife. Made for just a year or 2 right after Boker acquired the George Schrade Company, around 1955 if I remember right. The nail nick for the fish scaler fits perfectly in the EO notch.

Here is a 4 line Camillus easy open jack. I thought it was the Navy/Coast Guard general purpose knife but it has no swedge and normal nail nicks instead of long pulls. I don't know. I doesn't match the catalog photo or the beauty posted by Augie

I like everything about this sucker. Size, shape and the bone is great!

Very nice example, I wonder if it was one of the last of its kind with that style of main blade?

Newest member of the EO Jack family. Remington (1929-33) for Endicott Johnson shoes.

Thanks! Sorry I missed your comment all that time ago.

I'm still not too sure about it. Nothing has turned up.

Hey, Augie ! Those are some fine examples you've shared. Do you happen to know what the key was used for on the Nagle?

Amazing Knives in this Thread!

This was in a small group I purchased a while back, not quite the standard of some of the stunning Knives shown, but this was produced by ( how many tens of thousands?)
I think its a nice example, as RickHuf pointed out on his nice example- mine certainly doesn't have the flair of Augies Long Pull EO with that lovely Swage work.

A used but well cared for old Remington easy open model.

Here is an older Empire HD easy opener, almost 4" long!!

Another Empire Easy Opener, this one a capped Teardrop Jack!
You can see the (subtle) difference between a Teardrop and a Regular Jack!!
