Nice pen knife, Ken. Great lines. Does it have semi-sunk joints?
 
Very nice indeed! Thanks for the closed view!!
Are you going to make one?
After you finish your "3-thick" of course!!;)
 
No plans for the foreseeable future Charlie, maybe someday down the road.
 
I went down to my P.O. Box yesterday, hoping this knife would be there! I am not familiar with the pattern, and this is the first one I have seen marked Schrade Cut Co..
Of course it is a "regular" Jack, where the end widens or swells. But it is a hair or two over Four Inches long!! Therein lies the rarity!!
And it has all the hallmarks of being an oldie. Arched tang stamps, nice swedge work, and wonderful random-jigged bone like you see on the older pieces from the Walden area; Walden, New York, and Schrade Cutleries shared a bone handle shop, and you will see similarities in their jigging if you study the old knives. Some call it "pick bone".
Without further delay, check this sucker out!!

In this case the magic formula is:
1)bid high on Ebay
2)eat beans and rice for dinner!
:rolleyes:

Charlie, That knife is SWEET! :) The pattern appears to be closely related to the Barlow Knife?

This knife and the standard Barlow are related in that they are both "regular" or "swell-end" Jacks, Bruce, but the traditional Barlow is under 3 1/2" long whereas this Jack is over 4"!
Related like Mutt and Jeff!:D
