S&M Large English Jack

[Augie]

Picked up this S&M English jack in white bone, really a handful at 4 1/2", beautiful white bone.
Really a nice large knife pattern, will have to keep my eye out for a vintage original.

Pretty ...

That is a beautiful knife! I usually do not care for the lighter colored handle materials, but I would make an exception for this one. Very, very nice, thanks for sharing.

Nice to see them using the straight-edged secondary rather than the large spear.

I got the black sawcut version of this SFO, mostly because it's different than anything else I had (I actually prefer the white one).

I love the blade combination, but (mine at least) has very strong pull on both blades.

Excellent knife!

Very nice.
I found this old Boker at an estate sale awhile back.

Vintage originals do pop up from time to time!

Dave, GasMan, thanks for pictures of some originals, are those also around 4 1/2"?

Not really vintage (2005) but not newly manufactured either, this F&W had the spear modified by Don Hanson into a Wharncliffe. One of my favorite knives. Having the good ATS-34 blades, it stays in the kitchen for light prep duty.

Yes sir. It's a handful.

I've always liked this look, which is not unlike the GEC #77 Washington Jacks, I suppose. Very classy!

Also Queen made these two in their File and Wire Series back in the early `90's I believe.
The round bolstered one was in the 1st Series, addition #3 I believe.


The flat bolstered in the 3rd Series, addition #2 I believe. My user!!

Also Queen made 2 English Jacks in their Annual Reproduction Series, #6 and #7. they were made in 1996, a dark green bone and a dark blue bone in 1997.
Here is the blue, the green was identical except for the color....of course!

Yes, they're a massive carry! Here's a Barehead version in Wormgroove, Sheepfoot/Pen from the early years of this century
