I like it! Hard to say from the angle. It does look different than the other jigging but certainly very good.
"shingle" style jigging
We are all in the same boatToo bad they don't all look like this. It's a bit frustrating when you order something based off what you have seen and a knife with entirely different jigging shows up in the mail... sigh.
Nice pic of a nice knife!!

I have had these two Diamond Jacks for a couple of days. These photos were made with fading light and untouched except for cropping. While all the examples being posted don't look exactly alike that may not be necessarily a bad thing. After all most of us are all individuals with our own tastes and opinions. The way I feel is these are all knives that have individual character. I for one am thankful to Charlie and the folks at Great Eastern for bringing these to be.

Ron and Everyone: I know I'm whining unnecessarily. I could not agree with you more about how nice it is to have Charlie and GEC making these great, old knives for us to collect. I think my problem is, I anticipated a certain "look" to the Chestnut version and actually decided between the two colors based on all the photos. The one I got is very nice, but very different than the photos. Honestly, had I not seen all those photos with the very dark full length jigging, I would not be at all disappointed.I have had these two Diamond Jacks for a couple of days.
