There has been some loose talk about Landers Frary & Clark around the porch here lately. I dug this one out; I had written ebony in my notes but I think cocobolo. 4 7/16 inches closed. Sorry about what is likely a re-post from some time back.

A recent purchase, not a farmers jack , but a horticultural knife and an enigma. the pruning blade is more of a farmers jack blade than typical Schrade pruners. The handles are different and it has an old long pull nick on mark and pile side! The mark side being very similar to one Charlie posted along an A Fields a while back .
If the knife was ever apart , a Tony Bose-like mechanic would have had to have done it. He once showed me a knife and said that had never been taken apart. He then chuckled as he said "If I had you wouldn't know it".

This is the similarly jigged SCC Charlie posted with his A Fields a while back.

Nice L.F & C Lockback Cal! Is that a hint of the old etch still remaining - or is it my eyes playing tricks on me?
