Nice Carpenter's Jack. You don't see them often. Here is a similar NYKC Carpenter's jack in the 1902 George Worthington catalog:

And here is a slightly smaller Ulster version in the 1886 HSB catalog:

Beautiful knife !

Good time at the Rendezvous and as usual was able to pick up a couple vintage knives.

This sweet little Keen Kutter 3 1/4" humpback easy open jack has some interesting details, smaller than your standard easy open, humpback, shield, notch for the pen blade nick, lot of details in this knife. No pattern number and been cleaned.

An Empire-like shield also, John; I wonder if they made it?? Nice little Jack!!

Speaking of Empire shields, I couldn't resist this relic.

It's been sharpened a few times, but still lots of life left.

I can see why you couldn't resist that one R8shell, a beautiful Ebony Teardrop with that mighty name on the Shield!
