Top to bottom Challenge Bridgeport,Keen Kutter Simmons,Bridgeport,Schrade Walden,Universal,LF&C,Remington UMC.
from early 1900's and late 1800's era to up to maybe the early late 1940's. They are just old guys in my opinion.

Mossdancer, nice collection of old ones, thanks for posting.

Added a Cattaraugus jumbo jack, love these big old jacks. Showing it with a Walden and Empire jumbo and a regular size Electric Cut Co for comparison.

I like them as well and you have some nice ones.

Mossdancer · Post by **Mossdancer** » Thu Jun 28, 2018 1:14 am

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.

That Walden jack is special

Just looking back and reminiscing this evening on a thread that has some absolutely amazing knives in it. If any of our newer members are interested there is some amazing eye candy on these pages.

Doglegg I have been known to get sentimental at times when perusing old threads. Especially when they knock my socks off!
