An old Robeson I picked up this summer at a festival. Nice bone with no cracks . Still tight and snappy.

Re: Vintage Barehead Jacks
Thanks FRJ. I wish I could find a book with a picture of that knife. The blade shape looks funny but it is full length.

Re: Vintage Barehead Jacks
Considering how many vintage Barlows I have, I was very surprised to find out that I have very few truly vintage barehead non-Barlow jacks...
I have maybe 4-5 others if we count fully-metal-handled jacks as "barehead" instead of, say, "all-head".

Jigged bone handles, half stops, and strong snap both ways, what's not to like?

The only bone handle ones I have. Both with great snap, and no wobble.
