Harness Jacks will likely forever remind me of our friend Duncan (Campbellclanman ) and his collection. So cool to have had that Robeson personally handed to you.
Here's a Washington Punch that always brings to mind another mutual friend, Charlie (waynorth ) who inspired it.

My Antique Yellow #15 Farm Boy is definitely an old friend, one of the first few GEC knives I ever bought. I haven’t had the Radio Jack as long, nor has it had the same amount of pocket time (thought it has had some), so it probably can’t be called an old friend… but they just look so good together!

It's always frustrating when there's no mark, but that's a very nice score JerNo mark anywhere. 5.25" closed, a hair under 4.25" blade.

From the Westmorland Antique Mall, well before it changed hands a couple years ago. Forty bucks. I anguished.
Great knife buddyRecently I've been putting various sheepfoot blades thru their paces. For today's O.F.F. it's this far too often overlooked but supremely capable, nylon, 100mm (3 15/16") Vic Gardener.

Me too JamesThanks Jack, I like it.When I'm carrying an electrician the sheepfoot is probably the most use tool because it excels at opening packages. Have a fantastic Friday mate.
Yes, it's definitely a beautiful knife. It'll slay 'em at the farm next week.It's always frustrating when there's no mark, but that's a very nice score Jer![]()
