A true piece of American cutlery history from the Union Cutlery Co. of Olean, New York, the maker that went on to become KA-BAR. This two-blade jack carries the distinctive nickel-silver "UNION" bar shield, a hallmark of the company's early years, set into richly jigged brown bone handles with warm amber highlights and heavy nickel-silver bolsters. A spear point master blade and a smaller pen blade open from opposite ends. Built in an era when a pocket knife was a working tool meant to last a lifetime, this antique shows honest age and patina and is a standout for any KA-BAR, Union Cutlery, or early American knife collection.
