Maybe I'm not traditional enough but I like this as much as one with an end cap...lol. In any case, the clip blade has taken over as my favorite traditional blade shape, replacing the sheepsfoot. It's weird, I hate clip points on modern knives. I'm strange in that way...

I share in your strangeness as I too, dislike clip points on modern knives. For traditionals... it just feels right. A close second for me is a muskrat clip point (as long as it is proportioned to be more stout like the 74 stallion). I still love sheepfoot, but especially on a 15 frame, the curves of a clip point provides a nice counterpoint to the straight handle.

well, i like em both. in the early days I had thought that without an end cap, id risk damage to the material of the handle at the end of the knife. I was gifted one by bigbiscuit that he modified because I was afraid to use mine which was originally a two bladed 15 with end cap.

Fine Weaver Jack that one and not so easy to find. I have a user in Black Jigged bone that I carry a lot, but, of course that's another pattern and another thread.
Very decent array you've got together there, tasteful.

Thanks, Will

Thanks for the kind words regarding my set of 15s and I'm also pleased to find myself in the company of a fellow WJ fan :)
 
I've been carrying this #15 Rope Knife for a few days, and I started wondering if any other Northfield #15's have been made.

There are plenty of Tidioute Boy's Knives and TC Barlows, and some stainless GEC-branded knives, but with the exception of Charlie's Rope Knife, I couldn't think of any other Northfield #15's. After looking around on GEC's website, I did come across these Harness Jacks (also Charlie's SFO), but that was it.

So are those two SFO runs the only Northfield #15's that GEC has produced?
