Prairie spike or prairie punch maybe. No no. I'm going with :#35 prairie cattleman(or cattle) knife. Sierra cattle knife doesn't sound bad either. Hmmm, thinking...no it stays #35 prairie cattle(or cattleman) knife.
Thanks, Neal
P.S.-that would acronymize (?) nicely to the pck or even pick. Nice🙄

I nominate the name "Blackjack" in reverence to the oval, club-like shape... Blackjacks come in many forms but this knife's shape reminds me of a club.
 
I'm going to submit:

#35 Auger

In modern English an Auger makes holes :)
In Cowboy terms an Auger was the big boss of the land :)

PS: why is everybody labeling this a "JACK" knife? I always associated a jack knife with having 2 blades on the same end of the frame. At the last check, this knife had the blade and punch on opposite ends. I think that makes this similar to a pen knife, however pen knives are traditionally smaller...

the #35 Pack Mule.

heres an except from wikipedia which seems to me a knife like this would come in handy while traveling with a mule train.

A 'mule train' is a connected or unconnected line of 'pack mules', usually carrying cargo. Because of the mule's ability to carry as much as a horse, their trait of being sure footed along with their tolerance of poorer coarser foods and abilities to tolerate arid terrains, Mule trains were common caravan organized means of animal powered bulk transport back into pre-classical times. In many climate and circumstantial instances, an equivalent string of pack horses would have to carry more fodder and sacks of high energy grains such as oats, so could carry less cargo. In modern times, strings of sure footed mules have been used to carry riders (ignorant tourists) in dangerous but scenic back country terrain such as excursions into canyons.

Pack trains were instrumental in opening up the American West as the sure footed animals could carry up to 250 pounds, survive on rough forage[a], did not require feed, and could operate in the arid higher elevations of the Rockies, serving as the main cargo means to the west from Missouri during the hey day of the North American fur trade. Their use antedated the move west into the Rockies as colonial Americans sent out the first fur trappers and explorers past the Appalachians who were then followed west by high risk taking settlers by the 1750s (such as Daniel Boone) who lead a increasing flood of emigrants that began pushing west over the into southern New York, and through the gaps of the Allegheny into the Ohio Country (the lands of western Province of Virginia and the Province of Pennsylvania), into Tennessee and Kentucky before and especially after the American Revolution. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mule
