Would we see these out there in greater numbers if that was a technique of displaying Knives for the Salespeople?

Great discussion points, Duncan!! I am sure the two "double-faced" knives were built that way; I wonder if we will ever know why!! šŸ¤”

Empire Double-End Jack! This is a single-spring Jack, at 3 5/16". It could be called a pen knife, but I feel the name Jack fits it better! It is most likely from pre-1920, at which time the Alvord family sold out! The details are exquisite - nice jigged bone, and well-shaped, swedged blades, the mark side crocus polished on the main! The etching is still there, and both blades are stamped, typical of older cutlery. Hardly used at all!!Double end Jack Jr 3.jpgDouble end Jack Jr 1.jpgDouble end Jack Jr 2.jpg

When you zoom into the swedge and long pull area its hard not to be impressed by the crisp grinds, very accurate they way its in line with the long pull. Nice find Waynorth:)
 
Wowza Charlie o_O:thumbsup::thumbsup:
As mentioned above, a real treat this Empire!
Swedges, stamps, grinds, bonesā€¦ and lines, are all knice and krispy. I just lurve that main and etch!!
 
We all make friends, sometimes really great ones and our Porch certainly exemplifies this :thumbsup::thumbsup:
Another example from Cal, graciously sold to me recently and has arrived suddenly safe and sound.
Model 1310 and probably Camillus made, HSB & Co. 3ā€ 5/8 cattle with wunderful details allā€™round.
The bones, long-pulls, swedges, punch and milled liners are real dreamy !!
A dandy of a piece that Iā€™ll treasure for quite a whileā€¦

Here is a Schrade Cut pattern like Rob and Charlie posted on the last page. Like Charlie said same pattern different blades. Not near the same condition as theirs obviously but unique in its own way. Got this one in a trade with Dave (knowtracks) thanks Dave! It is interesting with pick bone on the mark side and peach seed on the pile side. I see no evidence of a re-handle. Both bone handles are evenly and fairly heavily worn which matches the condition of the heavily sharpened blades. This was a knife that was well used but cared for. I love it! Your comments are welcomed and appreciated! Thanks for looking.

I need to catch up here.

What a gorgeous example Charlie! To have such a great Empire in that condition is amazing!
