Walden Knife Co Jumbo Jack

[Augie]

Every now and then in the hunt for vintage traditionals you find a knife that just knocks your socks off when you take it from the shipping box. This Walden Knife Co is one of those.

Large, thick, 4 1/16", beautiful ebony, full blades, great swedges, bear trap snaps, just a great example of late 19th early 20th Century American cutlery.

That's a ton of nice steel, right there!!

Can you compare the thickness with a "regular" jack for us, John?

Very nice condition for a knife plus one hundred in age. Not used much by the look of it........Fabulous find!

 

[Tilley Knife]

Oh my, very nice find!

Thank you everyone. Charlie, great idea, I will take some more pictures tomorrow, it is pretty impressive next to a standard sized jack.

Knock your socks off?
My goodness man! That is such a Stunning knife in every way - you know..... Sometimes I say that Peach Seed - Red Bone and Stag are the best- and often I forget just how much I love Ebony- and a post like just reminds me how amazing Enony is on a knife like this.

That beautiful Walden Jack is a stunning Jack.
Augie- I am almost getting sick and tired of telling you just how nice your knives are lol- well not really- so please keep them coming.
Is it me? But when these big old Jacks get so Big- they get better ?

I'm guessing that's about the length of a Case Trapper. Somewhat larger around though. It is a fine looking knife and sure you'll get a lot of good use out of it.

Thanks again everyone,here are a few pics comparing it to an old Electric Cut Co jack and a new Great Eastern 77 which is a fairly large jack in its own right.

Look at the blade width on that beast! That knife was built for serious work. :thumbup: Very cool.

Thanks Bob, you aren't kidding, would love to see GEC build a knife just like this, bet it would be awesome.
