Five Card Stud: Jacks Are Better!

[Campbellclanman]

Dan
That's a fairly Early A.D.Wadsworth sporting the XLNT Tang Stamp ( Kastor Bros. owned Trade Mark ), it works very much like some of the TL-29's where you have to press the small Pen blade into the Liner more so to unlock the Main Blade once it is open, I think it's a very nice old Knife- and Dan you really get to appreciate it more when holding the knife in the hand, there were a couple of versions of these when released and I think this was the "cheaper" one so I would like to own the upgrade if this is so

Southington

kai76 The Robeson Clip and Southington Spear are masterstrokes The latter is interesting in that it has a very broad Spear but the frame looks like a pistol grip or Saddlehorn rather than the more usual Teardrop? Super wood on it too

Thanks, Will

 

[kai76]

Will Power Thanks Will. I wasn’t sure myself what pattern the Southington was at first but I’m pretty sure it’s called a curved jack. The covers are actually horn but they sure do look like wood!

 

[Will Power]

Thanks, on closer inspection I see the tell tale pores in the horn. No shrink or warp either and inletting a complex shield into horn is no mean feat either.

I've been hoping you two would play, beautiful additions, Nick and Steve! Nick, I love the curved jack, and Steve lays down another straight flush of bone jacks, and all with end caps too! There are still a few more notable absences among our members . . . come on, guys and gals!

 

[waynorth]

Well, I thought I'd try another straight flush. Here are some nice saber ground Serpentine jacks with jigged bone, and a pen blade!!

All great knives Charlie, what a hand!

 

[herder]

I would be hesitant to play "knife poker" against some strong hands shown here.
Enclosed are five pre-war gentleman's Ulsters for a gentleman's game...

Great thread Jeff black mamba . I do not think that I can put up a hand to strongly compete , but I could put up an interesting one anyhow . Too late in the day to get good pictures though . Some really great postings folks .

Great idea for a thread Jeff! Beautiful hands being played Here is my same maker jack flush-Robeson PocketEze.

 

[black mamba]

Well, being a Robeson man, for me Lloyd has just wiped out the table and taken all the cash! Many, many spectacular hands displayed, but 5 wormgroove bone handled Pocket-Ezes takes the prize for me. That second one from the bottom might be my favorite jackknife I've ever seen.

 

[Luger1952]

Thanks Jeff for the kind comments on my PocketEze folders!! Thanks also to those that liked them
