Thanks for starting this up again. Some really nice knives posted. When I first started collecting this was the pattern I liked the best. I might have posted some of these in other threads but figured I'd post them here also.

Ellenville lockback
Little Valley Knife Assoc
J Ward Bronxville, might be too large as an English jack more of a folding dirk, 5 1/4" closed
Waterville Knife, this is one of my favorite knives.
Beautiful knives buddy.

I used to have a couple of real collectible English jacks and traded them for farmers jacks.

Some real eye candy being posted.

Here is a group of Robeson knives. The top is not stamped Robeson nor does it have a pattern number but clearly a Robeson contract knife.

I have gone through the entire thread again. A lot of thoroughbreds, a number of which speak well for the lesser-known manufactories from which they were produced.

I've always held a very narrow opinion of what constitutes a English jack. To me it is a knife over 4 1/2 inches with a narrow handle that tapers toward the blade, no pig stickers , no toothpicks, no swing guards just a big old jack knife. Here are 5 that I think qualify.
