Jerry Halfrich Knives...

[Blues]

Pics pics pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jerry's "Tracker" prototype in (true) amber stag and CPM-154. Knife is 4 3/8" closed and weighs 4 1/8 ounces:

This one is a prototype Jerry calls the "Euro" since it features a spearpoint reminiscent of many Solingen made knives of days gone by.
The knife is 4 1/4" long and due to the linerless carbon fiber scales weighs a scant 1 7/8 ounces. It's sharp, extremely well radiused and feels great in the hand.

This one had been in Jerry's pocket as his carry knife when he arrived at the Blade Show. He went home with a production knife in his pocket instead.

On the bright side, it's been in my pocket since!

I'm not sure if Jerry has any images available of the other knives he brought to the show but hopefully some forum members can post theirs up if they have the opportunity.

(Not sure who all ended up with Jerry's knives. Trying to get your hands on one was like swimming in the Amazon with piranhas.

There were only three folders left on Jerry's table when I made it by Friday, and that was very early in the show. I just fell immediately for this small Woodsman (3 5/8ths closed, 6 1/2 open). Linerless carbon fiber scales, light as can be, but when you snap it open, you realize you have in your hand a small folder on steroids! Jerry has packed all the steel into a smaller package as humanly possible, and I love the blade on this. It will carry well in the summer when it is hot, and be able to do the work of most larger folders. And, it's Halfrich sharp, of course.

A lot of great knives guys! Congrats to you and the man that made them.

That's a great looking knife, Joe. :thumbup:

Boy, these are gorgeous! Now I've got an excuse to go to Blade next year! After getting my first single-blade slipjoint (a sodbuster jr.) I'm really appreciating that form.

Jerry sure does make a great knife, I really like his lockbacks!:thumbup::thumbup:

The bone on that first one is stunning! Very nice, congrats.

I'm happy to bring this thread up from the depths with this Small Rounder, that I snagged from an online purveyor. 3 5/8" Closed with a CPM154 blade and jigged bone scales. I really like this pattern and can't wait to CE & CF it.

Great score! I had my eye on that too. I'm glad you're the one that snagged it

Congrats, Peter! Jerry makes some wickedly good (and sharp) knives.

I really enjoy 'em and hope you will enjoy yours as much as I do. :thumbup:

By the way, I was talking with Jerry the other day and he's been a busy boy locked up in his shop building knives.
We should see some interesting new knives in the near future.

That's really nice. It looks to be very thin. I bet it sits well in the pocket.

I couldn't be happier with the Small Jigged Bone Rounder I have.

That makes me curious - keep us posted, please!

Yes, it really is very thin and a joy to be carried.
