Forum knife. My first worm groove bone. 
A gift from the great
Jakeywax31
whose generosity knows no bounds. Have gone back to listen to the interviews with Charlie on the Catch Bit Show to learn all about the HJ resurrection. I am stunned by this beautiful knife and its history. Thank you again, Paul. AND Charlie and Bill for making them!
Nice going, Paul!! And you are welcome, Dave!!! 2016 was a good year for HJs - the only double-enders!! The BF, and its Ebony brother, HJ 10!!New in my collection an incredible #35 Double-End HJ9, the legendary 2016
Lucky feller, Russell!!
Nothing like a harness jack,every other knife should be a hj,the wife coming from a beading family really likes the tight beadwork of the one in your post
Beautiful! What a treasure Dave, andNew in my collection an incredible #35 Double-End HJ9, the legendary 2016

Nice HJ10 Charlie! what a great releases that was!
Nice Shot! A HJ9 will turn up for you one day, and you have that stunner there. fantatstic knife!
They certainly are Duncan, glad to have them in my collection.
I bought several chokers and headbands from a northern indigenous woman who lived nearby, as gifts for friends!! I gave her some moose for the ends and ties!
I hope she is ok Charlie. I love that Bead work, I also find extremely intriguing the very very old trading beads you and Dave have displayed, and the older Navajo jewellery.
That is just a great photo of a great knife my friend- awesome!

Thanks for sharing the info and the photos, Duncan!Another Harness Jack arrived, nothing to jump up and join a mile long queue to view though.
Interesting one, Remington, but as you can see its a straight line stamp- and immediately you can see aesthetically it doesn't hold a match to a "real" Remington.
These were contracted out to other manufacturers- and I can see Camillus shining bright from this one, I could be wrong on this
I am not too sure why Remington would use their name on a more economical product when they made such outstanding beautiful knives like Charlie's Remington Harness Jack knife he shared with us not so long ago, and I don't have one like Charlies to be able to put alongside of this one to show the outstanding differences.
To me though, these Blue Collar examples are still an important piece in the puzzle that can never be finished, I value them, not only do they add to and have a place in a collection, they add a little to experience and knowledge I guess. (Time for my sleep
The Punch though, still resembles the Remington's, if you go back to the top of previous page Charlie shows his Remington's Punch the way they finished them, most times to this day a real Remington punch will still have an anodized finished, a nice curved face and Pile side, they finished their nicest knives punches in a couple of ways where one has a nicely finessed curve where the machining stops at the Tang, and then they at times did not finish with that nice finish touch of that curve and machine simply ran off, but we see this on a lot of other Punches as well.
This punch on this fellow here has the basic shape of the Remington, and if it was Camillus who made this they certainly did not use their Spiral or their non-Spiral. Depending on manufacture age of this knife, Camillus's Spiral came out in '38 so did Remington give the firm this punch to use? always questions pop up in the Punch world.

You are right, about Camillus likely being responsible for this knife, Duncan! Nice example of the breed!!
