Thanks, guys. I've always admired Jerry's lockbacks but never got around to getting any. I figured it was high time to address that imbalance in the universe. :cool:
 
Nice batch of new ones Elliott-I especially like the Rounder-fast becoming one of my favorite EDC patterns:thumbup:
 
Excellent scores Elliott. Not that there's anything wrong with the Rounder, but the Hidalgo really catches my eye.
 
Well, Jerry and Janice left here and hit the road a few hours ago. It was a most enjoyable visit with plenty of knives, good food, good drink, knives and laughs...oh, did I mention knives? :p

Jerry's stag "Rounder" and the carbon fiber "Hidalgo" are awesome in every respect...the one unexpected feature, however, is that these two knives are even sharper than all the others I already have from Jerry. :eek: I checked carefully for smoke and mirrors but I couldn't find any...just superb workmanship from a man who takes his craft seriously.

The Hidalgo is gonna be pretty tough to pry out of my pocket but thankfully I've got more than just one...(pocket, that is). :cool:
 
Here is an arrowhead made by Jerry out of Mike Norris Hornets Nest stainless damascus, a birthday gift from my wife.

Very nice, Jerry (and Jerry). :thumbup:
 
Any time I have the pleasure of sharing a phone call with my buddy Jerry Halfrich and he tells me about a new model that I "might" like, I know that I should hide my wallet, stick my fingers in my ears and hum a few bars of something distracting. Unfortunately, this technique is yet to work.

Jerry mentioned to me that he had used the Case Copperlock pattern as the inspiration for a new model, the prototype of which he had just completed.

The prototype is a shadow in black linen micarta with a blade of CPM-154 sporting Jerry's nonpareil edge. Like the original Copperlock, this model comes in at a hair over 3.5" and weighs in at a trim 1.75 ounces. Unlike the original, the current knife sports a killer (swedged) drop point blade...and...is actually hand filling due to how Jerry has shaped and fit the micarta covers. While I have always enjoyed the classic Copperlock, my main gripe was that it was too "thin" in cross section to really feel entirely comfortable. This knife takes the concept to a whole new level.

While speaking with Jerry this evening I told him that the beauty of this knife lies in the fact that it is attractive (and people friendly) enough for an evening in town while being rugged enough for chores on the homestead. I suggested the name "Town & Country" for the knife and Jerry liked the idea.

So, here are a few images of the new "Town & Country" model from Jerry Halfrich. By the way, Jerry mentioned to me that he plans on building the larger version of this knife (like the large Copperlock) and to build it with bolster, cap and upscale covers as well.

"Town & Country"
Frame: Black Linen Micarta (Lockback)
Steel: CPM-154
Length: 3 9/16"
Weight: 1.75 ounces

As always, your thoughts and impressions are welcome.
 
Elliott and Jerry, what a fantastic design! I've always thought a shadow with the copperhead "guard" would be great for an EDC, but was thinking in terms of a slipjoint jack.

The way the swedge flows into the nail nick is something very special. Just a beauty!
