All in on jacks

[black mamba]

A true classic jackknife, the #78 Northfield American Jack, in beautifully matched primitive bone.

I agree Mamba, that is nice one.

Here's an old German one I've been packing since it arrived.

Thanks, SM, I'm not a fan of EOs for ergonomic reasons, but the bone on that old Solingen is AGAIG.

 

[Simple Man]

For some reason, I've really been drawn to them here lately. Thanks.

What knife is this please?

 

[blades&grace]

Nice! Perhaps disingenuous, but nice.

Maybe a little, but I don't get to chance to make many knives right now especially Jacks! And I'm really proud of this one

 

[Gevonovich]

Brent, I sorry to tell you but the bolster slants the wrong way! Better let me dispose of it

 

[pertinux]

Maybe a little, but I don't get to chance to make many knives right now especially Jacks! And I'm really proud of this one

Rightfully so. It's very fine. At first glance, I thought it might be a venerable old piece, re-covered. I mean that as a high compliment. :thumbup:

[blades&grace]

Thanks for that.... It's a goal of mine that's seldom reached.

 

[Pjake]

Beautiful Brent! Got me drooling here.
