Re: wirejacks
Today I add another Geo. Schrade, single blade, wire jack, hawkbill pruner to the collection. No blade etch, no unfamiliar tang stamp. I gave it a mild cleaning, took some pictures and here it is.

Re: wirejacks
FINALLY!!! I acquired, what seems like it took forever, a very ELUSIVE (to me), Geo Schrade, single blade, wire jack, hawkbill pruner. Past opportunities to obtain this particular pattern of knife have always ended up negatively. Not this time! It came, I saw, I made an offer the seller couldn't refuse. It's now mine. When it arrives, it'll get a checkup. Pictures shall be taken and posted in the appropriate location(s).

Re: wirejacks
By chance, do you mean this one (on AAPK) for $235.00?
The answer is YES to a Case wire jack, but not this one.
If anyone is interested in the aforementioned knife, here is the link.

Re: wirejacks
Hey Skip we've got to stop bidding against each other. The hawkbill has the nice early tang stamp. The clip looked to be sharpened down but otherwise in good shape. Good ones.

Re: wirejacks
Hi Skip. What do you do/use to clean them up? This one would be like new without the stains. I won't clean this one because to my mind that would take away its "history" but sometimes they do need a little loving care.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Fri Feb 21, 2020 10:25 pm Today, this Geo.

Re: wirejacks
I just "clean" the rust with graphite and leave the "stains." That's a fine looking knife.joeradza wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 2:13 pmHi Skip. What do you do/use to clean them up?

Re: wirejacks
My latest acquisition, this Geo. Schrade, single blade, wire jack pocket knife. When I receive it, I'll give it the once over. It doesn't look like it needs much, if any, cleaning. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).
