Re: wirejacks
This afternoon I'm adding this "FRANKENKNIFE" to my wire-jack collection. I was wondering how long it would take for one of these to emerge. It's only three pieces, the handle, the blade and a pin. Or, in this case, a nail. When I saw it, I knew that I had to have it. It has the normal wire handle/frame. The blade however, is a L F & C (Landers Frary & Clark) USA blade. I don't believe that this was an attempt by the seller to deceive potential buyers. I think that somewhere in the history of this pocket knife, a previous owner broke two different pocket knives and rather than buy a new one or new ones, he put the surviving parts together and made this one. But.......who knows for sure. Anyway, I cleaned it up a bit, took some pictures and here it is.

Re: wirejacks
Interesting repurpose. Looks like it could have been made to be a whittler. Neat find.

Re: wirejacks
That is an interesting addition to your collection Skip. I'm guessing that the wire jack frame was used in that way many times due to its easy access.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 11:14 pm This afternoon I'm adding this "FRANKENKNIFE" to my wire-jack collection.

Re: wirejacks

Not the best looking one in my collection.
But, for the price.....

Re: wirejacks
Oldies but goodies.
I’ve never carried or used the fish knife (middle) but the clip and the spear have seen extensive use. I have to check and see what steel was used in these because they get very sharp . And that’s coming from someone whose sharpening skills are so so at best.

Re: wirejacks
Thanks Skip. I have a weakness for the beaters. I don’t know why, but maybe the simple construction matches up with a well ued piece of steel.
