New GEC Northfield Harness Jack w/"Horsecut" Antique Bone

[Modoc ED]

I pulled this out of my mailbox late yesterday afternoon. It is a GEC NF Harness Jack (541208) with Horsecut Antique Bone covers. The knife is built on GEC's 4 1/8" #54 (half stops) Equal End Cigar frame. The clip blade is 3" long and the punch is 2" long. I like this style/size harness jack much more than the harnes jacks built on GEC's #85 tear-drop frame. I wish GEC would make another run of this style harness jack - a clip point version and a spear blade version as they did in their beginning years.

Anyone else with this style GEC #54 Harness Jack (clip blade or spear blade) feel free to post pictures - #85 style Harness Jack not so much.

Ed, any particular reason(s) why you prefer the 54 over the 85?

I too prefer the equal-end frame over the tear-drop. Nice one!

I prefer the style, size, and weight of the 54 over the 85. I also much prefer the punch on the 54 over that of the 85 - especially, the dual groove punch on some 85s.

nice looking knife, love those scales.

Very nice, Ed! I agree the 54 is an awesome pattern all around. I like everything about mine.

Here's my contribution to your thread.

I really like that spear point main blade. Looks very oldschool English.

Looks great, Ed, love the color and the jigging.

I've got a clip and a spear, both long pull Northfields.

It does not say so on the tube or the production list, but the amber bone looks horsecut to me.

The 54s are nice. I only have a punch on a SAK. I'll have to look closer at these.

Nice Ed! Really like that pattern but it's a little too big for me. Been tempted to pull the trigger on that pattern quite a few times.

I too like the spear blade type. So I had to get one of each.

Those are some serious EE HJ eye candy there fellows:thumbup:! On the #85 I like the spear better but on the #54 I like the clip better!

 

[black mamba]

Rusty, what is the name of the bone on your clip blade model-- it's wonderful!

 

[Modoc ED]

Great looking knives guys. Very nice. That could be Horsecut on your Amber Bone Jeff but I can't say with certainty.

I too have a spear blade version of the #54 Harness Jack. I've used it quite often.

That's horse cut bone also Jeff.

I'm with you Ed, the equal end pattern suits the harness Jack well.
Here is my example, a Tidioute frontier bone spear blade:

LOVE the scales on this one.

The Horsecut bone is really a stand out. The harness jacks are a great pattern too.
