Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
I bought this one off EBay while in Dalton, Georgia for the knife show.
It’s a bit rough and the master is down at least ten percent, but this is a 4 1/4” 037 big cigar jack. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Terrier in this pattern.
The seller had it priced pretty high and we negotiated it down some, but I still had to pay more than I would have liked for a knife in this condition.
The knife certainly has character. It’s over a hundred years old and can only get older.
I’ve been carrying it ever since I received it and we are getting acquainted.
No matter what I do, I cannot make those iPhone photos post right side up.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
Here is my only Terrier. English Jack; 5 inches closed; single clip blade; worm groove brown bone handle covers; steel bolsters; brass liners; elongated bolster. This one has a shortened blade. It appears Robeson used the same handle die and bolster length for the Grand-Daddy Barlow; but, given the up-graded finishing (bone, shield) I would classify this an English Jack.
I thank Charlie for guidance on posting photos.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
Russell, that's a fine old jack.
I've seen that pattern before, but have never owned one. Most of the one's I've seen were pretty beat up.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
There is a nice looking, but highly priced Terrier dogleg jack on Ebay.
I have a nice example of this pattern and cannot justify attempting to upgrade at that price. The price might come down a bit if this auction ends without a sale or it might sell at that price.
Thought I'd share the auction here in case someone was interested.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
I just received this big five inch Terrier single bladed jack from OlderDogs via an EBay transaction.
It’s probably the same pattern as that posted above by StumpStalker.
Beautiful old bone on this one.
I’m pleased to have this knife. The blade is down a bit, but such knives are hard to find.

That is a beautiful knife, Charlie. Good for you!
That must be awesome to hold at 5 inches.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
Interestingly, the very first Terrier I was ever offered was this pattern. Cindy Taylor had it and it was near mint.
I had no knowledge of Terrier prior to that and I didn’t buy it, as I had limited funds and was looking for “Robesons”.
I think she wanted ninety dollars for it.
That was in the very early 1990’s.

Re: Terrier Cutlery Company
I snatched this one off Ebay two days ago with a Buy-It-Now price of forty dollars.
The blades are pitted and the backside handle is cracked.
Bruce Voyles showed a Robeson of this pattern in two of his books and called it a serpentine doctor's knife, probably because of that flat bottom bolster. I'm not sure it's a "pill buster", so I'm just going to stick with serpentine jack.
It will display well from the front side.
Very unlikely I'll ever find a better example.
And, forty bucks. Why not?
