#78 American Jack

[NewBlades16]

Visited KSF today and stumbled into this knife. Very happy with the color. Looks even better in person. I also had a lot of fun talking about knives with the guys. One of the best stores to visit if you ever get the chance.

snagged one myself. My gosh they lasted forever! I should have redeamed myself from my last prediction of the Northwoods Delta last run. They were around long I was forced to buy a second.

Has anyone seen the single blade model in cocobolo or smooth white bone available yet?

A couple dealers have the single blade white bone. http://greateasterncutlery.net/blog/our-gec-distributors/

Sorry for the bad pic. Wow, really liking this one more than I thought I would. Great F&F , great pull /walk n talk, love the shield, love the blade, bolster, and cover fish, nice sized slim knife.... What's not to love.

Seems the American Jack looks good dressed in just about anything, black micarta, cocobolo, smooth white bone... they're all lookin good. Happy to say, "This one is mine."

That is a great looking cover on the Mark side , how is the Pile side my friend ????

Well, I think I just secured one of the Northfields in Ebony. I just used the early reservation system at a popular site; it shows one reserved for me. Now just comes the waiting!

Thanks bud - I was able to secure a smooth white bone and reserve a cocobolo. The single blade Tidioute collection is now complete.

Yeah but it doesn't even come close to your Bartham! The best GEC has!

"Golden Brown Scrat Jigged Bone." Looks absolutely delicious.

Just reserved one of these after seeing this picture on the GEC site . Really like the color and the jigging . Now comes the waiting . Will be the first new Northfield since the 81's ..

Got my desert ironwood today and love it. I usually try to get one of each pattern, but I may end up with 3 78’s.

Disappointed I missed out on the KSF drop, so I got a single blade smooth white bone from another dealer as a consolation.

Like someone else said, don’t wait on these, especially the single blade.

Thank you Harry. I'm very happy with the covers on both sides and overall quite impressed with the 78. I'll try and get some pics and some initial remarks posted tomorrow.

Ughhh after refreshing KSF for two days, I get tied up with work for a few hours and I miss the blue bone! Sigh, such is the knife life

My 78 single blade cocobolo should be in route in a day or so.
With a Ebony reserved

Hmm...two already, on standby for natural micarta and I really like the elderberry and smooth white bone covers...

 

[Squidman24]

A small handful of the blue camel bone SFOs showed up on KSF about an hour ago - not sure how many got listed but there were only two left when I ran across them.

No KSF SFO 78's posted now - fyi for those looking

GEC posted the single blade Cocobolo on IG and said they are shipping this week.

 

[tstaut]

These black micarta SFOs turned out really nice.

 

[redsparrow]

...and so did the Desert Ironwood

Excellent F&F as good as I've seen on a GEC.
Great walk and talk with a pull at a solid 5.
Definitely a keeper, well done GEC & The Knife Connection, thanks!

Just paid for my ER single blade from CK. I really like the smooth white bone so now I'll have it in single and double blade. Liking this knife more and more. The big spear is great on these substantial, yet not cumbersome knives. Many great cover options too.
