Re: Vintage Barehead Jacks
A great bunch of knives, Roger. Really beautiful. The Valley Forge with the unique (to me) can opener is quite nice.
Thanks for showing some fine knives, Barry.

This Remington R1072 showed up in my mailbox unexpectedly. A surprise gift from a friend.

Re: Vintage Barehead Jacks
There are some fantastic knives posted in this thread.
In case anyone hasn't noticed, because he's scattered them all over AAPK, Roger has one of the greatest vintage knife collections extant.
In all my years of collecting Robeson knives with a generous, if not reckless, budget, I was never able to obtain decent examples of Robeson's heavy BULLDOG or Beavertail jacks and Roger has near mint examples of each and he's not a Robeson collector, he just collects great knives.
His M&G etched knives are unbelievable.
He should publish a coffee table book with full color photographs.
Actually, AAPK, using multiple sources could publish such a book that would be incomparable.

Re: Vintage Barehead Jacks
Charlie, I am extremely flattered.I don't keep all the knives I post.Some move on to new homes.
Someone could put a real nice picture book together with the knives posted over the years on this threads.I know a new book is on the horizon by one of our regulars,and we have other books and articles authored by several members.
I feel privileged to be able to share my knives with the folks here.

Re: Vintage Barehead Jacks
Yes this has been quite a show. Thanks for showing. I too was thinking it would be nice to see them in a magazine or some format to just flip through them.

Re: Vintage Barehead Jacks
The coil was to crimp the cap on the fuse I believe. Not sure about the tool. Don't know anything about using it.
