New to me GEC 86 Oil Field Jack in Sucker Rod Wood and a Jack Wolf Knives Midnight Jack in OD Green Micarta. I had a couple of LionSteel knives but those never stuck around so I was hesitant to pick up something from JWK. Found this Midnight Jack at retail and in my preferred handle material so I decided to give it a try. First impressions are that it's really nice and feels much more solid compared to the LionSteel knives. The edges are a little sharp with this coffin style handle and you can feel it with a pinch grip but it isn't noticeable with a hammer grip. That being said, the shape of the handle is what drew me to this knife. There are a ton of reviews on this knife so I won't go on.

The big one is a little over half of a Dexter S18914 double-handled cheese knife, it turns out. The leather -handled one has no identifying marks. The plastic-handled one is a Kutmaster version of a type of knife I love- so simple,so compact, so thin and slicey.

Got these a few days ago, Mother of Pearl, Silver blades, Marked B&C and AS, I believe they are made in the UK, based on the markings and purchase area.
Probably old. :)

Nice finds.

I can tell you they're hallmarked by the Sheffield assay office, crown mark. You can find out the exact date by looking up the letter-matching the font and shield shape to a given year. Guessing (as I can't read the letter on the date stamps) these fruit MOP knives were popular c. 1870-1914. Then stainless appeared and they became less made and offered as gifts. Each assay town in England, Scotland, Ireland had a different stamp, all carried the Lion passant as a proof of Sterling Silver. Some silver from the early c 19th till about 1890 had the monarch's head stamp as well.

I've had these on my radar since they appeared. All the appropriate stars aligned, including saving a few bucks by purchasing on the Exchange. It's scheduled to arrive today.

Nice, Gary. Glad to see another one around. I was just looking at the brown trout version today and telling myself I don’t need another one. 😁
 
Made my pilgrimage to the big store in Tennessee last weekend and picked up a couple of new toys. One of which is this small toothpick in CV. Been carrying it a few days and it is already starting to develop some scuffs and patina. I wanted to give this pattern a try as I have looking at smaller knives lately and so far I am really liking it.
