Here are some photos of a GEC #54 Big Jack in Burnt Grizzly Cut Bone(my favorite!) that I received yesterday. It's an early Christmas present from my wife. I usually shoot photos of my knives in more rustic, folksy settings, but I decided to experiment with some transparent glass. My roses don't seem to know it's winter, but they seem fitting with the reds and greens of Christmas. Guess the 81º temperature is forcing them into bloom. I do miss the snow a little during the holidays.

The fit and finish on this knife is probably the cleanest and tightest of my 5 GEC knives. My only complaint is the butter knife edge. I mean absolutely zero cutting out of the box. Part of the edge didn't even come to a "V" at all. A quick reprofile and session on my Sharpmaker made it shaving sharp in no time. The spring on the clip blade is a serious NAIL BUSTER!

Once again Tom at August Moon Cutlery came through with excellent customer service. Best online knife buying experiences I've ever had.

Very nice, and the photos look great..
It's nice to see a company offering a knife with the punch blade.
 
I have a Northfield Big Jack with burnt stag scales. Definitely one of my favorite patterns. I feel like this has been a very much over-looked knife.

Their loss.......we already have one. ;)

Yup, that Equal End Harness Jack looks familiar. .

We are quite fortunate that our very own Waynorth campaigned long and hard more than just a few years back and inevitably was very successful in resurrecting the old EE Harness Jack / EE Farmers Jack patterns as well as other HJ patterns that are enjoyed so much by so many of us users and collectors alike. . Thanx Charlie! [as he raises his Single Malt glass to a toast] :D :thumbup:

agustus,

I am also with you on these scales here as well. This 'Grizz Cut' jigged Bone Stag is one very attractive look indeed. Its nice to see GEC go this route. They are a very classy act.

Very nice collection!. :)

Thanks,

Anthony

Very nice color and jigging pattern!
Sure does look a lot like my S&M red bone harness jack. Seems I've "prettied up" the blade quite a bit more than you. Better start cuttin' some apples! ;)

Ooooweee, I am loving those Burgundy jigged bone scales on yours! :)

That one of mine ain't for cutt'n even though she's made of 1095.. Right now its just for look'n at.. Perhaps someday, maybe. ;)

Here is another one of Waynorth's reincarnated HJ's that rides hard and gets put away wet from time to time. :eek: This one here is a worker bee, to be sure. One of my favorites for EDC'n..
