Beautiful harness Jacks Charlie. I'm partial to the Robeson's jigging. Nice!

Took a pic for the new shield thread, thought I'd put some better pics of my Challenge up.
Edit: the tip of the punch is a bit more pointy, its just stuck in the post a little. Looked nipped off to me lol.

Beauties, Barrett!!

Thanks Red!!

Nice one Hillbilly!!

Charlie- Stunning Robesons!!! Those Teardrops are absolutely fantastic!! Just look at that BP Shielded HJ- The Gorgeous colour of that Bone and Jigging!!! = Wow factor!

Barrett - Real nice HJ's my friend, evil Punches on them man!

Hillbilly - always love seeing your 100 year old friend- post it up anytime matey!

Well folks.....after this Thread falling into darkness- never, never again, I must admit I looked at the mammoth task of re-doing every photo because of the terrible Photobucket collapse - and I honestly thought the Thread was a goner- it was so so disheartening to see every post and photos a covered up advertisement square for photobucket.

But I have over the weeks come in now and then and tackled one page or a couple of pages at a time - and I have completed all my posts!!! I am Wrapped!
I will maintain this Thread 100% from now and wont let this one slip by.

can I ask if you have ever posted in here with these lovely HJ's- can I get you to check through- and if the Photobucket square is there- possibly edit and renew the photo? That would be SO much appreciated.

I will post up some new photos of Punch comparisons very soon, so in the meantime - please feel free to have a refresher and have a great day / night.

Take Care
Duncan

Man... the stories that knife could tell!
I love seeing old working knives, well used and cared for.

That must have been a BIG job. Thanks for taking the time to do that for us.

Thanks indeed Duncan! Yeoman work my friend! That’s a horrifying, lol, amount of work.
Thanks, Neal

 

[Campbellclanman]

Thanks guys, yes lots of nights when I was literally falling asleep at the Keyboard!

I love this fine Ulster ( Dwight Divine ) - a very nice smaller HJ...

 

[chisumr]

Great pictures everyone.

 

[waynorth]

Case Tested 6235 1/2 HJ!! Nice revival Duncan!! A Heroic effort!!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Wow!!
Charlie - always a pleasure seeing your gorgeous knives that beautiful Case being a great example!

 

[Modoc ED]

An old picture - my Red Hangmans Bone

 

[Campbellclanman]

“Red Hangmans Bone”
Now THAT is a name for Bone Handle - specially on a HJ!

 

[neal70]

Great knives waynorth and Modoc ED ! Charlie one of the better awls I’ve seen on a Case! Ed, just a glorious knife!
Thanks, Neal

So, as time goes by I find a nagging voice in my mind, well theres actually several lol - but never mind my split personalities at this moment - but the voice is a continuation of reminding to study more about the Harness Jack and the Punches, I find just about every time I pull out my old HJ's or study the photos- or pick up something that Charlie has said- - there is STILL more and more coming out about these Punches.

I thought I had gained some steps- perhaps I have- but find more and more which makes me think that perhaps a fool I have made of myself for putting out thoughts of manufacturers - but then I think- no...Im giving it a go- I just need to find out more, so to follow will be some Punches on the HJ's of mine and show the same punches used on different stamped HJ's- creating answers but also creating more questions - I never knew a simple punch could be so in depth and shielding perhaps many out contracting secrets.

New York Knives, The quality of these knives is outstanding -

Not only does the Face side have their own tell-tale signs but also the Back of the Punches do to- as in the Shoulders, bevels etc.....heres the rear of these NYK's...

Another couple of shots of the NYK Punch, these Tangs are two piece - as in Laminated, please see below....

A Beautiful Old Miller HJ- The Face view of the Punch.

and the rear - and now you can see the differences of even the rear of these Punches....

 

[Campbellclanman]

Here... the early Winchester HJ Punch some of you may reconise this? a beautiful "Fluted" ( Charlies description ) Punch- and what better way to describe it.....

- here is the modern day take on this....
