Re: Knives Made Before The Year 1960
Those are really nice jacks, it seems that the overwhelming majority of large knives out here on the left coast are old utility or scout type. I am yet to find any thing with five or more blades. The European horseman's I showed is it period. Perseverance will someday pay, I have hope anyway.Edit: after psting this I paged back to see the Euro knife and noticed the Tipman surgical knife has locking mechanisms on each blade. Explains whys I sometime have opening problems with it. (HA)!

Very good looking knives, John.
The Walden with that big bolster is the tops in my book.

Beautiful knives mossdancer and John! I’m with Joe—that large bolster Walden jack is one great vintage folder!! So how large are those jumbo jacks John? I know that they are not as big as a folding hunter so that would make them around what 4 1/2 inches closed?

Thanks guys for the comments, Lloyd the jumbo's will run 3 7/8" to about 4 1/4" with corresponding girth, these knives are a handful. Here are 2 more pictures showing the Walden, the Electric and a new GEC 77 which is a largish jack, gives a good idea of the overall mass of these things.

Re: Knives Made Before The Year 1960
I bought a pocket knife from a seller. The tracking said it was delivered today. A pocket knife WAS delivered today from that particular seller. It was the wrong pocket knife. I received this SYRACUSE KNIFE CO.,USA, 3 blade stockman, instead of the pocket knife that I bought. According to Goins it is from 1935 to 1940. I contacted the seller and he said that he realized his mistake and that the pocket knife that I bought has been sent. He told me to go ahead and keep this knife as well. So, the only SYRACUSE KNIFE CO. pocket knife that I own, came to me by accident. I cleaned it a little, I took a few pictures and here it is.

Re: Knives Made Before The Year 1960
This is one of my favorite threads. I’ve read it several times, just finished it again and enjoyed it every bit as much as the first time! People keep adding more stunning old knives to it. Also realized I’ve not added any myself, so here are a few. Posted elsewhere before but not here.
