:thumbup:

the more i carry it, the more i like it
and it seems to be getting alot of compliments at work when people see it

just heavy enough to stay in my pocket, but light enough i dont notice it until i need it
gorgeous amber bone scales and scary sharp cv steel (unfortunately i havent had any time to take more pics or start a patina so my blades are still shiny-shiny )

the pen blade is the real gem of this knife, its wonderfully shaped and sized for opening boxes, letters etc etc. Its got a funny shape, not quite a normal pen blade, almost but not quite a wharncliff shape (just a little upsweep at the tip)...but its been undeniably handy

Nice looker that one is:thumbup:

Good things come to those that wait

Speaking of which, got your 6292 yet?

 

[pistonsandgears]

That's a sweet one!

1985?

Yup 1985, I thought it had similar coloration to the 1978 6232 of yours, which I really like the coloration of.

The mark side kind of reminded me of the '78 I have, but your pile side bone is much more vibrant, much more attractive!

ok, its been a week and i FINALLY got a chance to get some more pics
after a week, i still love it, she is still my precious

anyways, as promised, more pics

perfectly centered blades, wanted a pic to show it

Hope these pics live up to forum photography expectations

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful knife. :thumbup:

Has anyone ever gotten a bad one of these? So far, all I've seen have been consistently great.

Great pictures, thank you! I especially like this one.

Very nice knife. In my very humble opinion the 2 blade jack is the quintessential american knife. As close to perfection ss you can get.

That is a fine example. Hope you enjoy it buddy.

[Rsmith_77]

thanks all!

definitely enjoying it
haven't got any complaints, but my sample size on these texas jacks are admittedly pretty small

yeah i like that, quintessential american knife

 

[zippofan]

No complaints here either :thumbup:

 

[Rsmith_77]

just a couple more pics

here it is with my new green alox classic, so these are now my new edc combo (very happy)

and last night i cut up an apple, so its got the beginning of a patina started

Sweet! Now it looks even better.

I already posted this in the What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today? thread but figured I would post it here to since this is the thread that inspired its purchase.

[Rsmith_77]

ok so its been just over a month, and i wanted to do some progress pics
the blade is definitely getting a patina, but i dont think the bone scales have started mellowing yet

note its a much cloudier day than when i took the pics a month ago

think its fairly obvious which blade i use more

 

[Doug Add]

Like the way those blades are changing!

 

[Rsmith_77]

This is what i should have done earlier...comparison pics!
and thanks Doug!

I like your Before & After pics... Somehow, I´m thinking about getting a Texas Jack CV by my own right now... (I didn´t want to buy a knife until ending of this year)
