JK / Protourist Rule Number 9 with a couple tweaks!

[mqqn]

Hi folks -

This evening I was delighted to find a package from Mokena, and inside was my new Mack Designed Rule Number 9!!

I asked John to make this knife with his torched oak treatment, so that I have a classic design from one of my knife friends (Mack) with a classic treatment from John.

John used to do a lot more torched oak, and I think he does torched oak better than anyone!

This particular knife has a couple of changes from Mack's standard design.

I asked John to round the spine and delete the thumb-serrations. I also ask John to grind the choil all the way down to the handle so that the blade was sharpened all the way with no unsharpened choil area.

I think he did an outstanding job, and the sheath supplied is the best example I have in terms of finish from the JK Shops - the stuff just keeps getting better and better!!

I took some quick pictures this evening for my friends here -

Note the black liners -

Just look at that sheath!

Perfect grinds as usual!

Thanks again John for a great knife, and Mack for a great design!

I wondered if that was a BK Sheath - it's a beauty!

that is just awesome. the rule #9 has been at the top of my want list. and this has convinced me. it clearly is a must have. btw...i love the idea of no choil. that is my preference, as well.

good, good stuff...all around.

thanks for the pics Andy.

Another great iteration of a tremendous knife. I like the fully sharpened edge too - though I would miss the file work for the thumb. The scales are perfect! Enjoy it - as I know you will.

Good looking knife/sheath set up Andy.

I am freaking speechless.
That is really nice. I love everything about it although on mine I do rely on the jimping a bit.
Dang!


Edit: I absolutely love how clean it looks. Taking out the jimping and the plunge line really gave it clean, classic lines. WOW!!!
Nice job on the grinds, John and yes, that sheath looks fantastic.

That looks great! I love the torched oak, the rounded edges, and the handle contours.
