#78 American Jack

[HWF]

The scratted bone jigging is really nice.. looks like a worn checkering or a bit like the ancient series of TC's

I thought the same thing! Looking forward to receiving it.

I could no longer sleep waiting to pay for my pre-order ( ya my life is pretty shallow), so I bought a 35 off the exchange yesterday. Last night was the best nights sleep I have had this week.

Did they list a reason? Just curious.

So the people who ordered multiple versions would only get one email notification is the stated reason.

That’s pretty weak imo ...
Poor notification setup

Saves them on shipping too if they can send one shipment rather than multiple

Has anybody cut an easy open notch in a #78 single blade, I am waiting for my smooth white bone #78 to arrive in the new year. It looks like a great slicer if my #25 spear blade small jack is anything to go by and even though I have read that the back spring is not to harsh a pinchable blade may be handy.

I thought this very same thing and I think I'm safe in saying if Bob where here it would be done

 

[oldmanrunning]

I think we are all going to miss him in so many ways.

you know Paul, before Bob's passing we were talking about modding the new 78 single blades and he had mentioned he'd be attempting it and would be glad to mod mine if I liked how it turned out

Some emails are annoying for sure, but an email notifying me that me new knife is ready to be paid for is not one. Those are emails I look forward to receiving.

Jack, I have two singles, one in Elderberry and a Smooth White Bone, I may just designate one and if you like the results, I'd do yours for free. It's funny on certain frames in the past Bob and I would be our shops at the same time installing an EO on the same knife

We we're also talking about turning the spear blade into clip point, and I still may.

I think a smooth white bone with an EO notch would look pretty fantastic!

Hmmm....I agree! Waiting for my smooth white bone to be delivered. #78 American Jack will be the first knife of 2018

Those sound like great mods! Can’t wait to see.

I forced a patina on mine last night.

That patina really takes the beauty on that knife to the next level. I can't wait to see how the bone ages on these.

Here you go Jack...

Nice work, Paul!

Great job Paul ! I don’t have any problem with pinching my 78 open. But now I know It would look great with an EZ open mod.
