Starvin' for Serpentines and Dog Leg Dreamin'

[esnyx]

The serpentine jack, and the dog leg jack are some of my favorite patterns, especially the slim serpentine. I know that there are many variations of these patterns, and I would love to see what you guys have. Here is my collection of GEC slim serpentines:

Well, what are ya waitin' for? Let's see 'em!

I actually just ordered a Northfield Cocobolo 48 w/ my wife's birthdate an hour ago. The Northfield 48 in Autumn Jig Bone is next on my short list.

Stephen, that Primble-Cat is to die for!

Thanks! Our friend Primble gets all the credit for that one though.

KBA - very nice collection and a terrific group shot! :thumbup:

The only dogleg I have right now is a GEC #48 Diamond Jack, single blade in antique yellow bone. Next on my list is the antique yellow 2-blade...

Fanatic knives in this thread!! The DE doglegs initially caught my eye because they have a saber grind, not something you see from GEC too often. . .that, the peachseed jigging, the Diamond-Edge styling, and the blade etch make it unique in my mind. Maybe a two blade will have to be my next purchase.

Now you need a Schrade 294.

Those GEC slim doglegs are actually a trapper pattern, the curve is reversed from a true dogleg. Here are a few of mine:

Thanks Stephen, I appreciate the compliment.

Here's my one and only. Case/Tony Bose Collaboration Dogleg Jack.

Those GEC slim doglegs are actually a trapper pattern, the curve is reversed from a true dogleg.

Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering about that!

 

[black mamba]

I agree with lambertiana, that the GEC #48s shown by the OP are in fact serpentine trappers/jacks. GEC's dogleg pattern is the #56.

But since the OP showed his #48s, it must be OK! I've got a couple of standard #48s in smooth ram's horn and elk stag.

Plus, I have a natural stag improved Wharncliffe #48 trapper.

And finally, here is a 3rd generation Bulldog trapper in mother of pearl. I really like the long, rounded bolster.

My only two. The second picture is my 57 half whitt which is on the same frame as the 56 dogleg but is it still considered a dogleg??

 

[knarfeng]

GEC's dogleg pattern is the #56.

So it is...

 

[arizonaranchman]

I love my 48 Trapper...

 

[mike Berkovitch]

These are all great looking knives, old and new. There is something very appealing in this pattern

I think I might understand the difference between a dogleg and a trapper now?
Is a dogleg always a jack? Is GEC's #57 Gepetto a 'dogleg whittler'?

Is this a dogleg ?


My brain hurts and I need more coffee, but I'm enjoying all the pictures
