Here's a 4 1/4 Schrade that came from the collection of Camillus president Nilo Miori. (Roger has posted some knives from that collection as well a while back.)

Re: Farmer's Jacks
VERY nice!
A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

Re: Farmer's Jacks
Thanks for the nice comments. I had previously sold off my Schrade peach seed knives so it's nice to have at least one again.

Thanks guys. I've liked the pattern for a while so it's nice to finally get one.

Beauty Mike. I finally checked in. Is that one from Art Green?

Re: Farmer's Jacks
John, I thought I had commented on your finalization to the Queen farmers jacks. I know I wrote it up, but apparently didn’t finish or submit. Kudos to your persistence. Those are beautiful knives.

Re: Farmer's Jacks
Thanks Dan and Lyle. Lyle, I bought it from a guy who got it from Art. I know you have some nice ones from the same collection.

Re: Farmer's Jacks
I’ve bought several from Art. That’s why my collection is so valuable.
I saw that one at the Blade Show, when Art had it.

Re: Farmer's Jacks
... Art is well-known but he does have some knives you may never see again ... he did help me out with a few “items“ for the Billings & Spencer article ...

Re: Farmer's Jacks
Thanks. I have bought a few (expensive!) knives from Art as well, and they are among the best that I own. He was also nice enough to send me pictures of some of his knives to include in my book a while back. And he is a great resource when I have questions on old knives.

Re: Farmer's Jacks
I agree Mike - Art is a great resource and has a very extensive display at every NCCA show (which I think a bunch of us miss for sure).. Anyway hard to show Art a knife he hasn’t seen and if you ask him about a specific knife you’ve never seen - well he probably has one or more ....

Re: Farmer's Jacks
I think "SLECTRIC," another cool one, buddy! Hope things are going well. I like those iron bolsters and that serpentine handle, curvy like a dogleg.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Farmer's Jacks
Hey everyone, I'm a huge fan of farmer's jacks too. Really appreciate all of the knowledge and pictures shared here. This is my happy place, haha. I have an old utica, a 38 beavertail, cranberry orchard gem, green linen 38, and, queen tcc burnt stag farmers jacks. I'd really like to add some more if anyone has one they wouldn't mind parting with. Thanks again for what you all do for this community.
