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.

Looks pretty good to me to be called a beater. Have definitely seen worse. You've posted some nice ones.

Re: wirejacks
I took one of the smoothest working small wire jacks I had and cleaned it up and then put a real good edge on it. I’m going to carry it in the watch pocket of my jeans for a while. I know it won’t replace one of my larger knives, but you never know.

Re: wirejacks
Thanks Skip. Still trying to get used to a small (for me) pocketknife.
Re: wirejacks
My two favorite wire jack users which you’ve seen before. Cleaned them up with flitz and hot soapy water. Dried them and oiled them. Two beautiful solid knives that I’m proud to own and use. Same age as I am. Guess who’s in better shape.Lol

Re: wirejacks
This morning, this pocket knife arrived and became the latest to join my collection. It's another GEO SCHRADE, single blade with fish scaler, 4 3/4" closed, wire handle pocket knife. It is in pretty good condition. I gave it a minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: wirejacks
Very appealing knife Skip. I would think the fish knife a little harder to find. Great example.

Re: wirejacks
Thank you Floyd.
Actually, these are the most common of the large wire handle SCHRADES.
This is my 12th GEO SCHRADE, single blade WITH fish scaler, large wire handle
pocket knife. I have more of this style or pattern than I have of any of the others.
This picture shows eight of them in my last group portrait. I've added four more to
this group since then. The other eleven have ALL been previously posted under this topic/thread.

Re: wirejacks
I'm posting the following for posterity as a reference. The knife is NOT mine. The pictures are NOT mine. The pictures have NOT been edited or altered, except for size. It's a Remington blade with a wire handle. I do NOT believe that this was a deliberate attempt by the seller to mislead anyone. I do believe that this was just a way for a previous owner to salvage a blade and a handle from two different broken pocket knives, put them together with a nail as a pivot pin and still have a functional piece of cutlery. It is very much like the L. F. & C. wire handle pocket knife that I bought and posted a couple of pages ago.
