Vintage Harness Jack Salesman Sample

[supratentorial]

Vintage Fox Cutlery Co Harness Jack. This knife was discussed in BRL's subforum a while back and it was said that "the most likely date range for those knives is c1915-1922". There's a hairline pin crack on the mark side and some spots of oxidation but it's in remarkable condition for it's age. I suspect that it was a salesman sample (there's ink on the pile side but some of the numbers have worn off). Strong pull and snap. Half stops on both blades. SOLD

Schatt & Morgan Sowbelly. is the blade steel carbon?

 

[supratentorial]

It's 420HC. Except for the File & Wire sowbelly trapper (that uses ATS-34), all of the Schatt & Morgan sowbelly knives use 420HC. The only Queen-made sowbelly knives with carbon blades are the old Winchester and Case Classics... and also the Moore Maker 5-blade and Texas Jack.
