Original U.S. WWII Era Navy Pilot "Big Jack" Survival Knife by Colonial Knife Co. - Excellent Condition
-
Original Item: Only One Available. Nicknamed the "Big Jack" or "Giant Jack", these huge folding survival knives were introduced during WWII by the Colonial Knife Co. of Providence, R.I., for use by U.S. Navy pilots. The design is similar to other folding "pocket" knifes, with a locking single edge "bowie" style blade on one end, and a saw on the other. What makes these different is really the SIZE of the knife, which when fully opened is almost 16 inches in length. With a 6 inch handle, it really fills the hand, which could definitely be an advantage in some situations.
The bowie blade of this folding knife is in excellent condition, and still has the maker name clearly stamped:
COLONIAL
PROV. R.I.
The rest of the knife is also in great shape, with some great grip scales, and very little wear to the finish. This is the first example that we have had of one of these "Big Jack" knives, and it definitely is one that would be hard to improve upon. Ready to add to your WWII Knife collection!
