Vintage Barehead Jacks
A Barehead jack is a knife with only one set of bolsters at the pivot end of the knife, the opposite non blade end does not have bolsters. I like these simple old knives as they are lighter without the bolsters and only usually have 1 or 2 blades.
Here is an example of an old C. Johnson & Son single blade barehead jack with fancy nickle silver bolsters and beautiful jigged bone handles.
Let`s see your barehead jacks

Re: Vintage Barehead Jacks
Barehead Jack sounds so Husky and manly and seems to usually be a larger knife used as an EDC or work knife and then theres mine

Here's a few old H. Bokers.
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).

Man!! All these old Jack's are causing my sugar to crash. You just got to love 'em
