First full run of this pattern that I’ve seen yet. Is it possible that every version is a winner?!?!?

I'm pleased with them, if forced to find a gripe I would like a little more red in the front handle of the humming bird acrylic.
All of them are well built with no construction issues. So much for resisting the one of everything bug on this run. The larger patterns with half stops are some of my favorites.

Well, except for the club knives. Oh, and the rendezvous knife.

Yes. We aren’t quite done with 87s yet…

Beautiful knives everyone, I've got a royal blue acrylic on the way. Was gonna go for the hummingbird but the Heraldic Shield and Northfield bolster work sold me.

The #87 Camel Bone came in today. It was well worth the wait! Fit and finish are spot on; the pull on the master and pen are nice. I’m very happy with it!

Hot dang Paul! Thats got some great color to it, almost like polished stag.

 

[black mamba]

Yes, Paul, great covers on yours, looks like the best side to side match I've seen.

 

[Ellis Wyatt]

Great run on these 87s. I really like the camel bone. Feels great and looks great. The hummingbird acrylic isn’t as figured as the 59 I got from last year, but the other covers are all excellent. The Indian paintbrush is a nice, darker red than I was expecting and I am glad to see it.

Thanks Jake and Jeff, I was fortunate to land this one

You got a very nice one too Paul !!!! Love those Covers !!! As I was telling you before the woman I was waiting for showed up . There have been very few knives that I have ordered that have blown me away when I actually get it in hand . It actually don't feel like it is 4 & 1/2 " long to me . The F&F on them is extremely nice . Both blades are centered and no gaps . IMHO everything is dimensionally scaled just right . The Pull and half stops are just right for me . The Bolsters and End Caps just add enough bling to the whole thing . I don't know how much I will carry mine , but I know that I will carry it in a slip because I do not want any Verdigris to show up . It will not be a work knife for me though . I agree with you too that this to me is a Long Washington Jack and I like it MUCH more than I thought that I would . Carry your Long Washington Jack in good health my friend . I apologize to anyone who may be offended by me for not calling it an English Jack , but you will get over it .

[paulhilborn]

Received this morning : Very happy with this one . Checked all the normal things and they are fine . Main Blade Nail Nick is accessible F&F are remarkable . Like the length , Colors , Bolster , End Cap , Shield , and the Smooth Bone is very smooth . This knife is most likely made of Unobtainium .

So carry your Long Washington Jack Harry and enjoy............did I say Long Washington Jack to much? oh well, I'm sure people will get over it

Long Washington Jack

 

[SlipjointPolitiburo]

The camel covers were so good I couldn’t resist but keep two…. And probably need a third in a wild multi color variety to really seal the deal

 

[Will Power]

Some obscenely good examples lately Those Kamels are King, beautiful variations, will hope to see more Camel on other patterns in the future, it could be the New Primitive Bone And far better than mediocre Stag.
