Parker's Jack-Knife Safety was one of the most popular and influential fountain pen designs of all time -- though by far most commonly found under its eventual rebranding as the Duofold. The original Jack-Knife Safeties came in a much broader range of sizes and variations, and almost always carried notably flexible nibs. This group includes some of the scarcest and most desirable examples of the series that we have ever had, including an excellent selection of pens with transparent Bakelite barrels -- the original see-through demonstrators.
