Philllll matey I echo your words!!! Lyle Sir how you do this is incredible- and congratulations for making that knife Lyles Pattern.

A nice '60s Red Bone joins my Case Red Bone numbers......


Mouth Watering - Case got it right here....




A great knife!, Circular Stamped: A.KOCH & SON NY, The knife has been cleaned - nicely, but on the Face side the Swedge has been "dropped down" - I think I can fix this, I have done it before with success - but overall - What an outstanding , beautiful Jack....






 
Beautiful knives guys, this thread is always such a treat :thumbup:
 
Thanks for the compliments fellas,the jigging on that Challenge has a bite to touch,one of my best.Another favorite(oxymoronish).:)

Duncan that Case,in it's condition, has what I love about their jigging.The depth in the jigs show irregularities at the base of each,which have features and coloration that seem as if nature itself formed them. You can see this only in knives that are pristine or very close.(handles that "bite")
 
Lyle, that Challenge is an outstanding example of the FJ pattern! Thanks for sharing it with us. :)

Duncan, two nice ones to add to the fold. Thanks to you also for sharing them. :)
 
Thank you Wormil. Case 1960's and 70's Red Bone is one of the most desired scales for a knife. I absolutely love the stuff 😄

Thank you Lyle.
I too look at the Jigging I try to determine whether it's done by hand or machine as I believe both were used - but when and where I don't know. But I always imagine myself doing the jigging- so I look closely for traces of directional patten.

Thanks Mike and Ron :thumbup:

It's majestic stuff isn't it.
 
Hi Lambertiana, I totally agree and good spotting my friend - I had the Koch lined up with my Beautiful HJ that Bob gave me ( a NYKC ) it was identical in every way - the Bone was a perfect match.
 
Look great Jack, I love the lamb foot, a classic Sheffield design and the lock back is really interesting the stag is fantastic.
Mike
