Re: Jack Knife Shop
I have not seen this marking before. Is it associated with "Jack Knife Ben" ?

Re: Jack Knife Shop
I know this OP is over 5 years old, but is that an Imperial shell?
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Jack Knife Shop
Thanks, JKB! Do you think that originally posted knife is a shell? I would be surprised if they used Imperials but who knows?
Edit* I think I answered my own question- shells are not pinned.

Re: Jack Knife Shop
Tang stamp looks good, never seen a shell handle pinned. Can’t see where they changed blades. Might be one of the very last contracted knives. I would not but it.

Re: Jack Knife Shop
OP knife looks fine to me, looks like a contract knife made by Schrade, 1940's to 50's.
