Thanks

It is very pocket heavy not to mention bulky due to the folding axe. I would not be surprised if they offered some kind of holster for it.

Very nice, Harold. Love those old harness jacks.

Here's a neat old clasp knife I got in recently.

Here's a nice little jack that I'm glad is now mine.

Awesome Joe, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful knives Joe They look to be in awesome condition.

Thanks so much, guys.

These pictures are of a Union Cut Co Jack knife with blue black bone handles that is marked Union Cut. Co. Olean N.Y. The included catalog image resembles the knife. I would be grateful for any insight that could be provided about this knife.

Jerry,I have a similar knife to yours if it is just short of 3 3/4".This one is just marked Kabar.The color of the bone I've hadn't seen before.The jigging may be correct.But the thing that bothers,me the most is the thickness of the bone.Here is one that is just stamped Kabar.

A similar stag,also just marked kabar.

Roger, Thanks for comments. I am wondering myself if the knife may have been rehandled.

Here's a neat little Union Cut. Co. 3 5/16"

Just a beat up old single-spring Union equal-ender. Interesting design, translucent celluloid scales that do all sorts of neat things in the sunlight, very slim, vanishes in the pocket but holds a wicked edge.

That's a nice one Tony.

The Union Cut. Co.'s will likely come around a little worse for wear. Made in the early part of the 20th century.
