The little something

mike Berkovitch · Sep 26, 2012

You all remember Jake (supratentorial) 3000 posts GA, the winner actually had to pick the one who'll get the fantastic knife Jake had offered as GA. Well, the firs time I won anything ever was to pick the winner

BUT there was a little something to the winner ... well this LITTLE something has arrived couple of days ago. I'll say that although Jake sent me a photo, I was very surprised when it arrived.
Now I let the pics speak

This is fantastic Henry Sears and Son knife with great jigged bone, impressive shield everything is tight and scary sharp. The size is perfect for me 3 5/8". I tried it at home and around the garden and it just did great. THANK YOU Jake, you made me very happy man

I love the full, rough jigging . . . looks like a killer hard-user.

Spectacular!! I think it fits you tastes splendidly Mike. That's the best little something I have ever seen!

I think that's Jake's favorite shield too..fitting.

Great looking knife and a nice gesture

Good looking moose there. I like everything about it. The jig pattern is just something not found on modern knives.

Mike, I'm happy that the knife arrived safely and that you're enjoying it.

I picked the knife based on the name drawn and I thought this one might be of interest to you. It'll bring you good luck too.

Very cool, Can't tell if it's a moose or a muskrat though.

It's a "bull-head" or "equal-end double-end jack" which is a "cattle knife-type double-end jack". The second blade is more commonly a large spey or a small blade but it can also be a second large clip blade. I'm a big fan of cattle and stock knives and their variations and whittlers. Thank you for the kind words guys. I wish I had more knives for each of you.

What differentiates a double-end Jack from a Pen?

A pen is a smaller. The Henry Sears & Son bull-head uses the same handle die as a cattle knife. ...btw, a "bull-head" is commonly mistaken for a "moose", which is a "stock knife-type double-end jack" rather than a "cattle knife-type double-end jack"
