BEAUTIFUL, Brother:thumbup: Outstanding in every aspect

 

[Markesharp]

Thanks Brett and Paul. The knife still has a faint blade etch that I didn't capture in a photo.

I got this chestnut bone HJ about a week ago. My first harness jack and all it did was make me buy the others in Blood Red and Ebony!

I love the 15 pattern and after carrying the chestnut above for a couple days, I found myself looking for ways to use the punch and I made sure to! Having the Ebony and Blood Red bone version will give me a nice little trifecta.

I like the #15-based HJs, Jsega51.
They came out great!

Here is one made for Marshall-Wells, branded "Zenith".
I had two, as you can see. I may have traded the Ebony one away

 

[Jsega51]

Well I'm sure if you traded it, you may eventually have a chance to get it back. It's just taking a vacation

H. Boker & Co.'s Improved Cutlery

Tank of a knife, similar in size to my GEC 77s - but heavier!

Sorry for the massive catch up here folks, its hard to find the time I need to spend in here , tsuat that is simply a true old Classic - like you say what a tank - but a simply beautiful Tank - just amazing!

Beautiful Boker, tstaut!

Here's another oldie. Robeson this time!

That Philll is such a beautiful old Robesone, its so hard being here in new Zealand - with no depth of history here being such a young country - its hard to find old lovlies like this - Whew!

I think this belong here even if I posted it in separate thread, Clauss cutlery, made by Caes sometimes between 1920-1940.
As Charlie wrote to me GEC #66 is identical in size.

Mike

Oh Man ...Mike that is just beautiful - what a lovely knife.... well done my friend :thumbup: and THANK YOU for placing it here in this thread

NYKC Hammer Brand 1917 - 1931

Oh man...Mark I am getting sore eyes now catching up with these posts of these old Greats... but its a sweet pain my friend!!

The culmination of about two solid years of searching came about today; I give you, at long last, the HJ1.

It's a user, but that's A-OK by me. It's riding in my pocket right now. Happily.

Dan, that is such such awesome news that you have that stunning knife - good catch my friend - you really deserve that lovely knife!

OMG Now THIS is waht collecting is all about!! what an amazingly stunning knife!!! I am just im awe of this beautiful knife Mark- just beautiful, what a catch my friend :thumbup::thumbup:

I got this chestnut bone HJ about a week ago. My first harness jack and all it did was make me buy the others in Blood Red and Ebony!

jsega, mate - watch out - Charlie has these HJ's down pat - they are so addictive, when you look through what Charlie has worked so hard at bring back the HJ, The HJ had all but died, but it toodk a man with such passion and vision the re-ignite the flame - the problem is there is a out of control bush fire with-in me now and I need more!!

Really nice HJ there - thanks so much or sharing with us! :thumbup:

Now that is a stunning HJ, Charlie there must be very few Marshall Wells knives out there? let alone HJ's??

I have been fortunate to handle some of Duncan's HJ's in the past and was smitten right off the bat---can't recall the last time I used the word "smitten" But that's what it was:thumbup:

The elusive HJ1 became available on the bay and my heart raced until the last second ticked away wondering if I would be fortunate to obtain this elusive BEAST. As fate had it I was. I have also been fortunate to add two HJ2's and a HJ3 in the last few months. I have an HJ5? that was a gift from Duncan and I have some HJ6's as well but these pictured are the most recent, I will have to take a family photo later.

I want to thank some members because if it wasn't for them I would not have the HJ's I have today----soooo THANK YOU Brett, Charlie and Duncan in fulfilling some of the lost flock I've pursued

Now a story or let's say a warning Brett passed along that apparently I did not take seriously---He simply stated something to the effect of "Paul please be careful as the punch tends to bite" or something very similar to that. Well while trying to open the punch on the bone HJ2, in a split second I had cleanly shaved a "cap" of skin right off my knuckle closest to my right index fingernail!!! I don't mean to be to graphic but it looked like if you were to shave off the very top portion of a small superball

I have always been a "heal thy self" kinda guy, whether an injury at home or at work. Lets just say I get a lot of use out of the First Aide kits in my work vehicles

I had to splint the finger for three days as any bending would not allow the finger to heal. All better now---any future warnings from Brett will be heeded
