<p>Jan,</p>
<p> GEC used the 77 frame for the Washington Jacks, Yankee Jacks and the Barlow. The SFO's that Mike had made in 2016 and 2018 were the Barlows. Since Don's avatar is a pic of Schrade's 2OT's, I assumed he was asking about the 77 Washington Jack</p>

<p>Another run was also made in 2015 and these were called the Washington Punch Knife.. It had a spear blade and a leather punch,</p>

<p>The Schrade Cut Co 2203 3/4 and the Schrade Walden 2OT are 3-1/2" closed while the GEC Washington Jack is 3-3/4" closed. Charlie's SFO's' are highly colectble and this was a very popular knife. Most likely all the knives, about 750 total, were reserved by collectors prior to manufacture. A few knives from GEC's short runs would bounce around on the secondary market for 3 to 4 months after being released....usually at double or more the original cost... and then rarely be seen again as they had found permanent homes. Occasionally a collector will change directions and a few will pop up...I ended up selling 6 of the 7 I had...or hardship will dictate the liquidation of a collection.</p>

<p>My daughter's Queen #96 is about 3 5/8". It's not large, but would definitely be able to handle a steak in a pinch.</p>

<p>D ale,</p>
<p> The only doctor's knife pattern that I'm familiar with is around 3 inches closed. I'm sure that isn't the knife you are referring to. How about a picture...educate me. <a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2770525162?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="721" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2770525162?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="721" class="align-full"/></a></p>
