To me this type of knives are like women that are so beautiful that they look more beautiful with out make up. By that I mean that more can be appreciated of the knife without it having a lot of bells whistles.

Well said.....

knives without lipstick....gotta love simplicity in steel.
 
A compliment like that coming from Mr. Pena says a lot. Those are two of the top ten classiest makers in the industry. They both make a top shelf knife, too. Between my son and I, our Khnutbuster has seen more pocket time then Shia Lebouf's hands playing pocket pool while filming the Transformers' movies. (That's a lot) The knife is amazing! Congratulations, Kerry, on building another spectacular tool!

First let me say "Thank You" for all the very nice comments on the work (dare I say "play") I have been doing on the knives. So, I think I will keep doing it. :)

Now on to the matter at hand....that CNasty has some weird ideas, but I like him.:D He asked me to make for him a two-blade Lanny's Clip in the Wharncliffe Trapper configuration but I talked him out of it. I said it was too darn bulky and that W blade will stick up out of the frame too far...unhandy and fugly. He just HAD to have a two-blade Lanny's clip so I decided to make it into a jack configuration with a smaller secondary blade in front of the clip.

This knife turned out so special I felt that we needed to give it a name and I gave the honors (with my right of refusal, of course ;) ) to Campbell. He started texting me with ideas like they were being shot out of a 45 auto...and BAM!....Tennesee Jack! A totally appropriate name.

The blades and springs are 154CM. The clip is 1/8" stock and the wharncliffe blade is .108" stock. Campbell wanted it pimped up in his usual style with double, double-bomb shields and caps (PITA!)

In the words of a BF friend... "It's a beast!"

Nice one, Falah! That one turned out pretty good, I think. I got the 52100 blade nice and thin....should cut like a laser! Be safe and keep it lubed up and it should last a lifetime or two. :thumbup::cool:
 
Very cool, Kerry! Congrats, Campbell. That's a special knife for sure! :thumbup:
 
That Tennessee Jack is OFF THE CHART!
Merry Christmas, Campbell!!!
Merry Christmas to My Pirates of Wilfred!!!!
I Love You Guys!!!!
 
Tremendous new model, beautifully executed. Congrats to Campbell and Kerry.

A double double bomb for sure!
 
WOW Kerry, these recent knives of yours are such a delight to see. I hope that my time on your wait list will come up soon so that i can have the full pleasure of the in-hand experience and use.
I want this pleasure before i depart, so please no lolly-gagging.
