TITUSVILLE CUTLERY CO. FARMER JACK"S
In 2008 Titusville Cutlery Co. manufactured by Queen Cutlery debuted its first knife the King Cotton Sampler which was followed up with a Trapper and lastly the Farmer Jack which appeared in seven handle configurations ...Mastodon Ivory, Mother of Pearl , Burnt Stag, Burnt Stag ATS34, Fire Oak, Red Winterbottom Bone and Wormgrove Green Bone. With the exception of a couple knives clearly marked on the shield that used ATS 34 all others came with highly polished 420C blades that were easy to maintain for both the collector and users among us.
The peasant knife, farmer knife, or penny knife is the original and most basic design of folding pocket knife, using a simple pivoted blade that folds in and out of the handle freely, without a backspring, slip joint, or blade locking mechanism. The first peasant knives date to the pre-Roman era, but were not widely distributed nor affordable by most people until the advent of limited production of such knives in cutlery centers such as Sheffield, England commencing around 1650, with large-scale production starting around the year 1700 with models such as Fuller's Penny Knife and the Wharncliffe Knife. Some peasant knives used a bolster or tension screw at the blade to apply friction to the blade tang in order to keep the blade in the open position. The smallest (Nos. 2 -5) Opinel knives are an example of the peasant knife.The knife's low cost made it a favorite of small farmers, herdsmen, and gardeners in Europe and the Americas during the late 19th and early 20th century.
Things have changed since then with both handle material choices and construction in these Farmer Jack's............double nickel silver bolster, .13" (9/64") single backspring, brass liners and pins with the exception of the Mother of Pearl ( brass liners and nickel silver pins) and no half stops. All knives measure 4 1/4" closed, 2 3/8" main blade and 2" secondary....
