LETS SEE THOSE MAGNIFICENT HARNESS JACKS

I am not going to say I have one - until I have one in my hand lol.

In saying that, Paul and I are doing a deal, I have a couple of Stags that Paul kinda likes, and I owe that guy so much - he just doesn't stop gifting knives, I did spy him showing a HJ a while that peaked my interests 🤔
 
Tada!

i might be in a small group, but i kinda want to see any of the new harness jacks split apart and created as their own knife and tool. that punch is so large that it can serve on its own. does any one have the 98 punch to put side by side??

Here you go, Jack!! William told me they changed their forging method a bit!! Some of the variances are visible!!Forged punch comparo 1.jpgForged punch comparo 2.jpg
Scanning these punches has spurred me to do a function test on them!!
Coming up later!!!

Interestingly the slightly flattened tip on the Camp, penetrates much better for the initial "stab", but they both cut nice round "slugs"!!Forged punch comparo 1.jpgTest Camp 2.jpgTest Camp 3.jpgTest Way 1.jpgTest Way 2.jpg
C = Camp,
W = Waynorth!!
The holes can be cleaned up by cutting again from the back, but I left them as is!!
The leather is 8 oz. latigo (A chrome tanned belt blank I cut a number of years ago)

Here’s an interesting HJ, a Cattle Punch by Jason Richie. From reading some threads here the frame is based on an Empire Knife Company knife built for the Shadleigh Hardware Company called a Diamond Edge Cattle Knife. One of those knives was the basis for Tony Bose’s Diamond Edge Cattle Knife. He liked a clip point on it and that became the Case/Bose Cattle Knife. Jason‘s is a two blade and I think that punch is an Alford punch which was on the old Empire along with a spear main blade ( not positive on the 3rd blade ). I hope I got most of that right. I think Jason made a knife that is different but still a homage to a pattern with an interesting history. I would like to learn more about the pattern. And the knife is a really great build.
