Thought these deserved to be carried over to this page- Oh man Charlie- I love these more every time I see them, Thank you for everything you have done in the Knife World- by reawakening some of the classic Patterns - I'm just so thankful you did as they are the main vein of my taste in Traditionals, and very thankful you share your knives and your knowledge.Russell made mostly Barlows!! These are rare, non-barlows, apparently!! Older pics!
I found these all around 2005-2006! HJ prices started to jump, then the market dried up!! (I probably bought them all!!)

Thanks Charlie for the kind word. Your creative skills are top notch and a breathe of fresh air to the knife community. For your 1st HJ at queen… you hit it out of the park.Beauty, Ralph!!! A Robeson, just like that one inspired my first HJ at Queen!!View attachment 2049477View attachment 2049486

I did hear a wee whisper in the dark about that Charlie- that's SO exciting my friend - really is! As much as Sears Knives have taken me, my love for the HJ is King there's no doubt about that!Campbellclanman !!

We miss you around here, Duncan!! It seems you have a lot on your plate!!I haven't participated much in the last year with the huge happenings of shifting twice, change of job roles because of that shift etc. and to be honest I feel I have missed out on a lot.
Welcome, Knight!! Pictures are what will get you answers, as Harry said above!!!Hi, new here, have a few old blades I’m hoping to identify starting with this old Case XX. From the tang, it appears to be a 1920’s era Case. Anyone have any info on this particular model? Thanks in advance!
Nice collection of HJs!!! Show them more often please!! It's always a thrill to see these great examples!!I really like a HJ. That punch is just so useful as a secondary. I've shown these before but hey while we are on the subject why not show them again.
