English Jack Extravaganza

[Duckdog]

I like larger knives. So, I’m having a hard time figuring out why this Queen Winterbottom #29 is my only example of the English Jack pattern. To be perfectly honest, I wouldn’t have it if my good friend Stuart D Duckdog had not graciously gifted it to me on one of my recent trips to DC. Thanks Stuart!

It looks very happy in your care, Ron. You'll note that your #29 has the spear main, as does the one that I posted, while the #28 that danno50 posted has the clip main. A classy clan, I think.

Thanks Stuart. It likes SE Tennessee pretty good so far. I agree, a classy clan!

Beautiful Schrade CC herder Here is my arched Schrade CC. I think I posted this somewhere else here—probably the elusive Schrade thread but it belongs here too.

Thanks Luger, and that is a wonderful example as well.

That's what SPEAR is all about!! Don't usually go for larger knives but I'd make an exception there tremendous example.

Regards, Will

Thanks, tongueriver, danno50, waynorth, Mike R., Campbellclanman, and Will Power for the nice comments.
Here is one of my favorite American-made English Jacks. Made by Ulster in the 1920s / 1930s era, this model has uncommon stag handles with a federal shield, nice detail on the bolsters, and a long nail pull.
This knife has nearly perfect proportions and aesthetics in my opinion.

Beautiful knives fellas. I'm surprised I don't see more of these around. I love a larger knife.
I do have a question though. Many of these seem to be vintage. Are there any companies at the moment who are currently producing English jacks? I haven't seen any.

That Ulster does check all of the boxes Herder! Beautiful knife in every aspect.

Thanks Mike, the long sleek lines of English Jacks always grab my attention.

Thank you, Duncan. I'm sorry that I missed your kind comment earlier (COVID chaos).
