Yes Ike you're on a roll. Nice cattle knife, of course I like the farmers jack.

Another really nice addition, John. It had been a while since anyone had posted a Challenge.

[JohnR]

Thank you all for the comments.

Ike, I was surprised it had been a year but it seems like nice Challenge knives are getting scarce.

Any idea which of those are more rare?

Ken

[ScoutKnives]

Both are very rare but I would say the brass one is harder to come by .

very nice Mike - great patina on both!

[ScoutKnives]

You know how I am Tom , they are only original once and 100+ year old patina is the way I like to find them .

Me too Mike , congratulations , I know how tough it is to dig up a new addition.

Good looking jacks John and Clark. I wonder where that bone came from because Case and others greatly resemble each other.

Mine.
The bottom knife in the first scan is marked Krakauer, Zork , and Moyes Suc.'s El Paso Tx ( that's a lot on a tang stamp) . I believe it is Challenge made because of construction and the ethnic (Jewish) connection between the hardware owner and the Challenge president.

Thanks. That was my guess. I have a copper Challenge and a nickel silver Case version. All are rare but I have only seen a couple of the brass version. I think they were yours.
