Show off your Equal-end Jacks!

[hsherzfeld]

I don’t think there’s a thread devoted to the streamlined elegance that is the Equal-end Jack pocket knife pattern, so I figured I would start one. I only have four so far: three GEC Pony Jacks in coccobolo and a vintage Ulster Knife Co. in jigged bone. Show us yours!

H hsh Do the 58 and 91/93 mm "Swiss Army" knives, the 3 to 5 blade cub scout/boy scout/girl scout Scout/Camp knife, and the "Demo Knife" qualify for inclusion?

While they're certainly equal-end in shape, I'm not sure they count as jack knives. As I understand it, the "modern" definition of the jack knife pattern has all blades/tools on a common pivot on one end only. I welcome any clarification or correction from knife collectors with more experience than myself.

Fair enough.
All I have are the double ended models mentioned in my post above, and 4 out of 5 "Riders Of The Silver Screen" Rough Rider large moose pattern.
(The RR have enough differences they cannot be passed off as (or supply replacement blades or covers for) the now rare and spendy Camillus "Riders Of The Silver Screen" moose from the 1950's and 1960's. )

Camillus also had around 15 more famous movie and TV cowboy and cowgirl heros to choose from in their Riders line, including Tom Mix, Lash Larue, and Roy's wife Dale Evans.
Red Ryder and Beaver each had their own knives, as did Lone Ranger and Tonto.
RR put both Red Ryder and Beaver on the same knife. RR didn't even do a Lone Ranger/Tonto knife ... yet did a "Zorro" knife!
Since I never cared much for Zorro (who had dummer than morons bad guys to deal with ... NONE of them - NOT ONE - thought to itself " maybe I should just shoot him before he gets close enough to gimmy a "Z" shape scar (and cut my spendy shirt) with his sword ..." ) so I didn't get that one.

Oops. In my defense, I did a search for “equal end jack” on the forum and didn’t come across those previous threads.

Thanks, friend. For bone that doesn't have deeply cut jigging it still has character, feels good in hand and is attractive to me too.

1977 Case 62055 with Delrin covers. (I guess I didn't have the camera quite square to the knife, so the handle doesn't look exactly "equal end," but in person it definitely is!)

Small Schrade CutCo contract knife for Shapleigh Hardware with beautiful celluloid covers. Not the best photos.
