That knife has seen a lot of pocket time to judge by the wearing smooth of the stag on the mark side especially. I think that adds a lot of character to the knife! ::tu::
Ka-Bar had very nice stag in the days pre WWII. Some of the nicest stag I have seen!

I would call that a sleeve board jack, since one end is smaller than the other, like a sleeve board used years ago in ironing the sleeves on shirts. That was back in the day before wrinkle resistant fabrics.

Price and Zalesky refer to it as a "Regular Jack" That's a K-nice K-nife, I like that one. ::tu:: ::tu::
