Couple of oldies but goodies. The equal end jack is only marked with a USA stamp. Not sure who made it. The other is an Old Hickory dog leg trapper I think.

Fairly inexpensive old Barlow, pull strength is a bit strong so I went to town to get a nail nick further down the blades to get more of a mechanical advantage to pull the blades out easier.
Definitely not the prettiest job which I wish I could have done better but it is what it is
With the nail nicks further out it means that I ’probably’ won’t break my nail…probably…

Man I do have a soft spot for old Imperial knives. You might be able to true up those new nail nicks with a little needle file, sandpaper, and some time if you are so inclined. Otherwise they have a good old carbon blades that take a nice edge!Fairly inexpensive old Barlow, pull strength is a bit strong so I went to town to get a nail nick further down the blades to get more of a mechanical advantage to pull the blades out easier.

Both blades are fairly thin and they took a nice sharp edge, I use this for a lot of my cutting chores as I am not worried about getting it mucked up
