2025 Eureka Jack thread

Damn. Those are gorgeous!!!

I thought the same thing! It caught me off guard, I didn’t expect them to be that pretty.

Coincidentally, I have my one remaining 92 from the '19 run with me today. I think I had 4 or 5 of them at one time, but winnowed them down to this one. Even though I've really come to prefer a good clip point blade, this one still works for me.... it's a solid 5-6 pull with crisp half stops... I still really appreciate the style/shape of the Eureka jack... I might prefer the newer version, with both nail nicks on the same side, as is my preference...

First of the Northfield 92's showed up today. Mine is perfect, pulls and snaps are just about the same as previous runs, construction and finishing is flawless. I love the 92 pattern, classy great looking and make good users.

A shame they ditched the match strike on the new versions though. It looks so good on an Eureka.

Got my white bone 92 today as well. I was nervous after seeing some of the posts about the action, but mine is pretty good. Main blade is around a 5 to half stop and 6 on opening. The coping blade is about a 4 overall. My only complaint is that both blades have minor side to side play. I have never tried correcting this on my own, suggestions are welcome.

Flush the joints first with oil and see how it feels.

I did a few flushes when it arrived. To be honest, the main blade wasn't real noticable until after flushing. The play is very minor overall.

Probably one of my favorite patterns by GEC. Wish they'd offer some bare-headed too.

These new ones look very nice with the cap but they did make them like you want in 2016 .

Holy cow, by some random chance I got a white bone on the way!

I need to go buy a Powerball ticket, be back in 20 minutes….

My favorites of the run.

92 snakewood showed up, not much snake but does have attractive grain, action is perfect. I'm beginning to think not many of these made.

These are my favorite SFO in a while.

I'm used to zero gaps around the bar shield. The pictures I've seen of the smooth white bone seem like there is a good bit of space around the shields - but maybe it's just the way it looks it pictures?

Surprised it hasn’t been mentioned, the reintroduction of the hot dog shield! I actually like it, much better than the badge shield which seems to be GECs current overused generic shield.

That’s a very classy knife.

Nice action on both blades. Sharp enough. Pretty sure the only hot dog shield I have.

Got my Smooth White Oily Bone today. It's a beautiful thing with a reasonable pull on both blades. I'm a happy camper.

Together with the Sunset Orange Jigged Bone.
The #92 pattern is damn cool.

Postie Mike just dropped this beauty off! IMHO I hit the stag jackpot with the covers. Nicely figured and not too thick. The blades are nice and snappy especially compared to my white linen which makes this one sound like gator snaps. This one is a keeper!

This one is a keeper!

Sure is!!! Nice score!!!
