Vintage UTICA CUTLERY CO. – No. 30 – Two-Blade Jack Knife
Offered here is an attractive vintage Utica Cutlery Co. two-blade jack knife featuring beautifully aged, deeply textured handles with warm amber, honey, and dark brown coloration.
This is an honest, well-used old American pocketknife with plenty of character, attractive handle coloration, and two functional blades.
Handles and Overall Appearance
The handles are particularly attractive, displaying rich contrasting colors and distinctive jigging that gives the knife a wonderful old-fashioned appearance.
The scales show evidence of age, handling, and pocket wear, but retain considerable character and texture.
Please examine the photographs closely, including the areas surrounding the pins and bolsters, for any possible hairlines, cracks, or other imperfections. I encourage buyers to make their own assessment of the handle material and condition based on the photographs.
Blades and Mechanical Condition
Both blades have been used and sharpened.
The blades exhibit visible scratching, staining, oxidation, scattered pitting, and other surface imperfections consistent with an older working pocketknife.
The master blade features a long pull and retains a recognizable original-style profile. The secondary blade is also intact and functional.
The tang markings include UTICA CUTLERY CO., UTICA N.Y., and the number 30.
Walk and Talk
Overall, the walk and talk is good for a vintage knife of this age and condition.
Both blades exhibit functional spring tension with acceptable opening and closing snap. This is not being represented as having factory-new action, but both blades operate satisfactorily in my assessment.
Condition and Buyer Expectations
This knife is being sold as a vintage, used collectible—not a restored knife or a mint-condition example.
I have attempted to describe its condition accurately without making absolute claims about every aspect of its originality, cosmetic condition, or mechanical characteristics.
The photographs are an essential part of this listing and show the actual knife being offered.
Please study them carefully and make your own assessment of the blades, handles, bolsters, pins, and overall condition.
IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING
This knife is offered AS IS, exactly as photographed.
I do not accept returns or offer partial refunds for cosmetic imperfections, age-related wear, scratches, staining, or other condition details visible in the photographs, subject to applicable buyer protections.
If you notice anything questionable, have concerns about the condition, or would like additional information, please contact me BEFORE purchasing.
I am always happy to answer reasonable questions and provide clarification.
What you see is what you get.
Thank you for looking!
