I made this jack up at a forum members request but thought I would share some pictures of it. I REALLY enjoyed making this one up. I was shooting for the vintage look. This is a lot of knife, a tad over 4 1/8 closed and 3 1/2 oz.
This jack is also the first use of a double pull on the master blade for me, long pull along with standard pull just below the cut swedge. Hope you enjoy looking at the pictures as much as I enjoyed making this one.

4 1/8 closed
CPM154 CM blades and springs
Spear master , cut swedges dual pulls
Secondary blade modified pen with cut swedge on pile side
Ebony scales
modified bomb shield (My take on a vintage Ulster) pinned
410 integral bolsters/frames
extension spring for secondary blade

Lookin' good, Ken. Interesting since we were just discussing jacks a few days back.

Nicely done!
 
Very nicely done Ken. The double pull really adds a nice touch, it flows real well with the swedge.
Looks like someones going to have a great early Christmas :D
 
Ken,
I think you are really getting this vintage knife - custom rendition thing down.This is fantastic.Cool,unique shield,too
Thanks fo showing it,
-Vince
 
Man, that is terrific Ken. Somebody's got a real winner there.

I really like the ebony scales that Ken uses. They feel great in-hand and have a lot of knife kharisma.
 
:thumbup:

The double pull is interesting. Cool how the standard pull follows the swedge line and really diggin' the escutcheon ! :)
 
Came out nice Ken! The second pull makes it easier to get that big blade open. Does it have strong springs?
 
Master-full Rendition Ken. So many possibilities with that frame.. Congratulations...

Thanks for the kind comments on this one!
I was a bit concerned about the shield I used as it is quite different.I think the shape and overall size of the knife works well with this shield especially in hand.

Charlie,

Thank you for your input the other day concerning double pulls. The master has does have a strong spring. However I can open it without any problems using the long pull. I can also pluck it up by the standard pull.

Ken - that one looks great!

I really like the dual pulls on the master and the back swedge on the pen blade.
The shield fits the overall design very well also.

Thanks for sharing!
