Show me your JBF Champlin

These knives are creatures of mystery to me, I barely ever see talk of them on the forums! If you have one, please show pics!

Cheers,

Chris

Great pictures guys (from the non-photographer)

They really show off the little details that make these knives so nice. The rosewood is stunning!

Gorgeous knives! i've been hunting for a JBF Champlin Eureka Jack in Rosewood for some time (as evidenced in my signature). The hunt goes on, but in the interim, it's nice to see your photos. :thumbup:

I was really happy to see this post this morning. I love the way GEC made the knives for us they are truly TOP SHELF. Here is an old original JBF Champlin knife that I have in my collection. Checkout the website for more news and pictures of knives and knife stuff with ties to JBF.

That is one beautiful old Knife, Love the very rounded end of the Bolster - hey ... lets just look at the whole knife - just stunning, the handles look outstanding - that was a real pleasure to view.

Geez, I thought this was about JBF Champlin knives, not GEC knives. Anybody other than Mike have any real JBFs to show?? I'd love to see them.

So far there have been only two photos which had any GEC branded knives in them, but they had Champlins as well. The second post had both, and the OP was so pleased with it that he sent the poster a PM about it. Some people don't have time to take a new photo if they already have a good one which displays the needed knives. I think this thread is right on point.

Hello Gunsil,

Here are two original JBF Champlin knives that live at the American Museum of Cutlery in Cattaraugus, NY. Photos are courtesy of Curator Patrick Cullen.

And a warm thank you to Campbellclanman for the generous comment on my earlier photo.
