GEC 68 Pony Jack 2021

I've learned to embrace the rub. Everything else works great so be it. These past 2 pony jack picture dumps make me wish i had gotten in on one of them too. Nice pics y'all.

Beauty there Dan :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I just lurve these coco wee jacks, as they also feel quite vintage in hand. So I just had to grab a couple since a few came up here on the exchange!!
I also wanted them to be unique and different from each other…
The first and now carried from JonMcD JonMcD

Ok now you have all been using then for some time I have a question.

As I have a chance to buy either knife at the same price new.

Do you prefer

A,The Pony Jack

or

B,The White Owl

and is there a reason why?
 
I have both. I like both, but prefer the pony jack personally because it’s a little thicker, and I like being able to open both blades from the same side (i.e. pen blade sits in front of main blade).

I typically like blades on opposite ends as they are thinner. In this case however due to overall size, I prefer the Pony Jack as it just feels stronger and more substantial in hand. I do have both and both nice little knives.

If you plan to use it extensively, Pony Jack is better choice, it has more robust all steel construction. White Owl is more classy in my eyes.
 
I traded for a Pony Jack at the blade show after reading this thread all over again,I could of had a white owl.

This is the right choice for me 😁

There is something about this knife makes it special,it needs to be used,kept in the pocket and pick up some patina,its a proper little work horse 🤣

If anyone's looking for either one I can let you have the details of the UK dealer,the prices for these aren't high (relatively).

He also has some SFO whittler types (made for him) at low prices.

I'm looking for pictures of old knives which inspired the #68 pony jack ?
I mean , is it a Sheffield classic ?

The traditional equal-end, 3.5" jack knife is one of my all-time favorite knives, and the GEC Pony Jacks are great examples. They bear an uncanny resemblance to the Jackmaster knives made by Imperial under the Hammer Brand name between 1936-1955. Here are some pictures showing what I mean. The top row are GEC Pony Jacks and the bottom row are Hammer Brand knives.

Both the GEC and the Hammer Brand knives were made with clip or spear mains, and it also appears that the spear is the rarer of the two for both brands.

Both the Hammer and the GEC jacks make outstanding edc knives, IMHO.
