Equal end jacks?

That Sears knife is a jewel, Mike. Any idea who made it for them?

Looks like a Utica pattern. The name was a brand used by Fawell-Ozmun-Kirk, a hardware retailer in Minnesota.

Slick Black 22055. (also 1940-1964)

My only contribution; here's what the same knife looks like after years of hard use

Very nice comparison. It's not too often one gets to see the 'before' and 'after' shots for these. They both look great. :thumbup:

I agree, very great to see.

I want to thank all the guys that have posted here. It's very appreciated.

I have a lot to chew on now. I think I'm going to try a full size spear and full size clip on one and a spear/punch combo on another. Two full size blades in a 4" handle will be a lot of knife in a relatively small place.

Yes it is one of my favourites, I got it as GA from Jake (AKA supratentorial), thanks so much Jake.
The Henry Sears co. was purchased by Farwell Ozmun Kirk & Co Hardware of St. Paul, MN, in 1897 who used the trademark "Henry Sears & Sons 1865" until 1959. Hard to be certain who made it for Farwell Ozmun Kirk & Co. Candidates include NYKCo, Walden K Co, Ulster, Camillus, and probably a few others.
