Easy Openers

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.

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 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?
 
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.
