Besides trappers and old school folding hunters, which are welcome, I think they're pretty rare. Prove me wrong!

Actually I took this picture for the combo jacks thread, which I'd misconstrued, and I wanted to put it somewhere.
 
I believe you are right, thinking through my own collection I have plenty of Trappers and old school Folding Hunters but none other that come to mind. I'll post one each of the two mentioned just to participate. OH
Ps How about a special purpose knife such as an Electrician?

You're not including double-end jacks with a blade at each end, such as muskrat and moose, right?
Here's a 77 Northfield Barlow I used to have that has 2 main blades:

I feel like this might be stretching what I think is the meaning of "two main blades", but how about this Providence Cutlery fish knife?

I hadn't thought that far. I wasn't thinking double-enders, but I see no grounds to rule them out.
I would agree with you that the scaler/disgorger/caplifter is more of a secondary blade even though it's full length, because it doesn't cut, but I won't mount the barricades about it.

Thanks for making the executive decision! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:🤓 If double-end jacks are allowed, it's "Katie, bar the door!"

That's a fairly small Elk/Moose must be a calf that's taken up urban feral behaviours :cool: Clearly the film was crap though...

Other same end full blade Jacks: Böker Germany do a very nice Copperhead. GEC's 53 Fur-Taker Clip/Wharncliffe.
Aren't some Doctor's knives 2 blade Spear/Spatula ?
