waynorth , Thanks Charlie, I'm slowing gaining on Duncan, he's got the edge with being 16hrs ahead though

With only 14 made I'm very fortunate, excited, happy and all that good stuff to get this Ebony Washington Punch. I just need one more to complete the HJ#8 family of 5. Not sure you can tell with my pics, the Ebony has dark brown in it and I think it looks good. USPS gave me a scare, there were many days with no tracking updates or movement but it finally arrived almost 2 weeks later. To all that watch the big auction 2 weeks ago this is not the same WP.

Grats’ Frank Texoma
A monster of a piece, well done!
How are the pulls? W-T etc?

 

[Texoma]

thank you Un-Chained the main is about a 6 and the punch a 7 and that sweet crisp sound opening and closing is so nice to hear

 

[Un-Chained]

I really like those lines Frank!
It’s sharp looks are sweet, lots of edges and points, and nicely defined end caps. Quite a unique take on the pattern.

 

[waynorth]

Ebony Washington Punch

Nice find, Frank! I am especially proud of those Washingtons!!
Hard to find some of them; like that one!!

 

[Texoma]

Thank you Charlie, your Washington Jack and Punch are top notch

 

[Campbellclanman]

Aaahhh so you got it eh! Well done - absolutely stunning HJ’s - and that simply proves it. That’s a beautiful Knife!

This one is every bit as well made as any GEC I own. HJ3 I believe.

Nice knife and pic, Tim!! Yes, that is HJ3, the third one I commissioned! Queen did a good job on those, but sadly, their quality slowly went down after that; it was the year Bill left to start GEC!!

Thank you Sir. I thought I remember you saying somewhere that they were made in 2006 (Bill's last year) and released in 2007.

 

[Texoma]

pmek5 nice one Tim, I have his brother, Charlie's Queen/S&M HJ1, 2 and 3 are just as good if not better than GEC made and IMO that 99 is real close to a GEC 35

Thank you Sir. I thought I remember you saying somewhere that they were made in 2006 (Bill's last year) and released in 2007.

Yes. They ordered in the bone for the handles, some of which was delayed. Bill left, and it took Queen a while to complete the order; until the next year!!
