LETS SEE THOSE MAGNIFICENT HARNESS JACKS

What a beauty, everytime I see an HJ8 I kick myself because I got in on the first run of Washington Jacks and when the second batch came out I completely missed the relevance of the HJ.
Loved seeing all of your other exmaples in the prior posts but didn't want to spam you. LOL

Thanks Dave, I only have a few of the 8th release but consider myself fortunate to own what I do :) I love the Ivory smooth bone and a pleasant surprise is how they darkened over time.

Paul, I remember Charlie saying that Bill forged that punch as where Robeson ground it to shape. So just like the Ancients that "blueing" is the forging slag.

Thanks Dave, I love finding out all the nuances involved in knife making. On another site Randy commented on the making of the Napanoch punch and the frustration involved with it. I told him that hard work sure paid off ;) :thumbsup: :)
 
A pair of Charlie's 3rd release I believe? the recover is one I had to act quick on or it would've gone to NZ 😮 ☺️ That Campbellclanman Campbellclanman is one kwik Kiwi!!! Actually he got a re-cover that Charlie had done as well:thumbsup:

Mr Hilborn is a bit of a Dark Horse isn’t he?
Sneaking in with all these stunning examples.
I’m sure They were in my suitcase when I was leaving Paul’s House? Thought I had lost them, but now they have re appeared !! 😳 mmmm

Awesome HJ’s matey. I didn’t know you had an Oupa?

Yes, third release, Paul!! I remember Oupa saying that he had the darkest, most "buttery" Gabon Ebony he'd ever seen, so I went for it, giving him artistic license!!!
That Star-struck Oupa rehandle is definitely one of a kind!!! :cool:

Jack, Duncan, Charlie, Dave, thanks for the Birthday wishes, hope we can all get together again some day :thumbsup: :)
 
I found this one on AAPK searching simply for “harness jack”. Liked how it looked (I didnt’ have an S&M, HJ or tear drop pattern yet) and bought it, only after did I realize it was a Charlie Campagna SFO, and the first one he ever did with Bill Howard apparently. When it arrived, the seller mixed up the purchase and sent me someone else’s purchase. Luckily it got sorted out and this finally arrived earlier this week and is magnificent. It’s the last purchase in my collection (no for real this time 🤣).View attachment 2127844View attachment 2127846View attachment 2127847View attachment 2127848
