Double Bladed Jack Knife
Submitted by tylerd on Mon, 11/12/2007 - 19:31.
Double bladed jack knives were sold in the general store and in Holman's Catalog in the 1900's. Men and boys used them to cut rope and other things. This knife was pearl-coloured and made of stainless steel and metal. It looked like pocket knives do today. It cost 40 cents, which wasn't a lot of money back then. If a boy wanted to buy a knife, this was an inexpensive one.
