Oh, my indeed. Those are beautiful.

Fortunately for my wallet, Glenn recently rehandled this old Camillus for me, so when the 68 pony jack starts calling my name all I have to do is pull out this hunter green Camillus and let it whisper to me, "Be still, little heart. I've got you covered."

Very fine looking knives, I expect the spear to be very nice as well. This is a pattern that I have had a lot of people looking for in some smaller frame.

Doug, very nice Camillus.
 
What are the advantages or disadvantages of the all steel bolsters and liners?

Would this be a good knife for EDC?
 
Oh man! I don't know if I should order one for my first GEC. Other choice would be white owl, or half whittler.
 
I just HAD to order a Pony Jack in Antique Yellow with Spear main. Two in a row sight unseen, this and the forum knife. I have a feeling these Pony Jacks may be as popular as the Boy's Knives.

Well, I just ordered a Spear in the Yellow Bone. Gonna go camp out at the mailbox.

Will there be a Northfield edition of these?

I really hope they do! I hope they do a small sized jigged bone, and some exotic woods if they do do a Northfield version. I also hope they keep them without the shields, but if they add shields, I hope that they are pinned.
 
Joepa150, these would be great for edc. All steel means a strong knife that will take a pretty good beating as well as a nice patina over the entire knife with time and use. If you like shiny knives look elsewhere. Personally I prefer all steel for edc and currently carry either an #85, #92 or #15 in this format. Also have one of these enroute as well. This one looks really sweet.
 
I'm a sucker for this antique yellow! I couldn't decide clip or spear, so... I bought both:confused: I think these will find a lot of pocket time like my boy's knives. GEC, you're evil!

Thanks for the info. They do look sweet. A nice even patina is nice compared to just the blades.

Tough choices, those! Do you have any idea if you have a preference for a typical Jack-- two blades on one end, a spring for each-- or a one-spring knife with a blade on each end? That's exactly the difference between the Pony Jack and the White Owl, with the Half-whittler having the same one-spring, opposite-end configuration as the Owl but with the asymmetric handle....

Not that you don't already know that. :)

I'm partial to Jacks, so would probably opt into the Pony Jack as a first. However, my White Owl was my first-ever GEC, and is one of my favorite knives of all.

Decisions!

(Good luck, and have fun.)

They have a picture of a spear point up on their site. Very nice lines. I wonder if the spear points on these are as difficult to open as the boy's knife? Not that much of a problem for me, but if I had to nitpick...
