HI,
Thought I would share . This is a harness jack that I made up for a customer. I have been trying to add more patterns all the time and this one was a challenge!
3 1/2 closed
ATS-34 blades and spring. I drew the punch back to spring hardness.
410 frame and bolsters.
Long pull on spear blade
half stops.
Ebony scales. I was shooting for a vintage look.
As always, comments good or bad more than welcome.
 
This ought to get Charlie wound up.

(Hell, it's got me wound up!)
 
Great looker, Congrats Ken, The photos are sharp also. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that's cool like the underside of the pillow.

What a great knife!

A much sexier knife than my current EDC, a S&M Harness Jack in Ebony and 1095.
 
Ken,you really,really nailed the vintage look.Very nice!

Wow, I think I'm in love with that knife.:D I am really starting to like the Harness Jack pattern. Great work Ken.
 
Ken, you definately captured the "Vintage look" on this one. It's not exactly my style of knife, but I still appreciate your interpretation of this classic pattern:thumbup:
 
very nice, clean work.

sharp swedge, very well ground punch (how did you grind out the hollow? very tiny wheel on the grinder?) nice looking grinds all around.

i also like the shield and the fluted bolsters

i vote A++
 
I love it Ken!
The long pull on a spear & the punch looks like a good sturdy user.
GREAT job, you're makin it had to pick just 1 knife when my turn comes up. Between this & that last Jack you've got me rethinking my options.

Ken about as traditional as you can get. Great job. I like every thing about the Knife.
 
Wow!!! That is fantastic Ken, a truly great looking piece that I wish was in my knife safe..

Sunburst
 
That is a PRETTY knife, and I do not like the harness jack pattern. Very nice work.

Very nice work. When I first saw the pictures, the first thing that came to mind was that you must have made it at Charlie's request. I guess he will always be linked to harness jacks.
 
Thats one beautiful Jack. I love the long pull and I favor the half stops.

Great job!!! :thumbup:
