Let's See Your Combo-Jacks

I looked through all my knives and only have two that meet Jeff’s criteria. But they’re a solid couple of knives.

I always liked those knives but prefer the clip on the 834 and 34OT, I don’t think they ever made two blade versions so I carry my 834 and pretend the Spey isn’t there

Here are some combo-jacks among my Rough Ryders.
Carbon wharncliffe trapper:


Smooth tobacco bone half-hawk:


This one-arm trapper is questionable because the "razor" blade is probably not a completely straight edge:

Many RRs make good candidates for modification. Well done, GT.

Well, actually they did. That Craftsman Gentleman's Jack from the mid to late 1970's is built on a 834 frame with a standard Clip main blade and a Sheepfoot secondary blade, both hinged at the same end of the frame. The blades are stainless steel and marketed by Sears as A.C.A. Edge (amazing cutting action edge) (ACA applied to a number of knife models in addition to this one). Surprisingly easy to find on the Bay, if none there now they do crop up semi-regularly. OH

A beautiful pairing, some GEC's finest I'd say.

Thanks, Will

Horti-Jack

Eureka x2 1st release all-steel has same-side nicks.

 

[Will Power]

The secondary blade acts as a lock release for the master blade.

The knowledge around here never ceases to amaze me. Thanks OH!

And a Barehead Jack, to boot. I like that a lot.

Here are some more:

 

[Will Power]

r8shell Thank you, it is a nice chunky knife, bit like a CASE Tadpole perhaps, rare pattern seldom seen. That's a very fine small Böker you have there Like that CASE too and completely forgotten about the Forum Knife 13, a very nicely used example, mine's still shiny and I fear will stay so......

Thanks, Will

 

[black mamba]

My favorite forum knife.

I can jump on the 93OT bandwagon (thanks for the GAW, Fausto):


Here's a weird Chinese Old Timer that I suppose could be called a "double combo-jack" since it has a straight-edged and bellied-edge blade at EACH end: clip/sheepsfoot at one end, spey/wharncliffe at the other end. Schrade 44OT Workmate:


- GT

One like that would be right in my wheelhouse if I saw it for sale. Nice and unique jackknife. OH

 

[Old Hunter]

Forgot about this one, 1974 Case 6217. OH
