This is where it all began for me.

I have a modest collection, but a modest knife this isn't

 

[Jack Black]

Wow- Now that scenery behind brings back memories- how fitting for an Ancient @ Location!

Thanks Duncan This is the Barlow you gave me in The Fat Cat just a few yards from where this pic was taken

Thanks to Dave, Duncan, and all the others for sharing pics of your vast, varied collections of Charlie's SFOs. A couple of my favorites.

Every one a winner, all single clip 15s.

redsparrow nice ivory HJ6 pic for you, sorry not for trade / sale.

Great show everyone, especially Dave and Duncan! Charlie has put out a mind boggling number of SFOs over the years.

I'd put up a picture of the man (Bill) behind the scenes, but "Ist Verboten"!!
He asked me not to publish his pic!! I'm saving it for when he (shudder!) retires!!
Not soon, I hope!!

 

[knowtracks]

Thank You Dan, John, Jack, Duncan and everyone who has posted their SFO's here!
Some GREAT photography!!
Here is a bit of an odd ball I'm not sure how many were produced, perhaps Charlie does??

HJ #5 with a Robeson punch instead of the Napanoch punch.
Apparently Great Eastern ran out of the Napanoch leather punch and used this one.

There were just a handful of Robeson punches substituted into those #85s, Dave!! I can't remember the number! That and the stripey macassar Ebony, made them special!!
A lot of the "Specials" along the way were inadvertent!!

Here's another, along with Walnut bone lookin' like Peachseed!! Of course the punch is the Napanoch style!!

Chief! Oh my my - What a Line up - as soon as I saw you here- I thought - yep..here we go, this will be good!Bark ivory 66 eh and that 85!!! Wow!

Dave!, Wow - so you have it? Ok, the reason that one was made is I specifically said to bill- ok I have these two here with the Napanoch Punch- what else can you do for me? Bill said - "just wait Duncan, I'll do something good for you" , so Bill made that one for me on special Order- he was extremely worried when he couldn't find it for me- But it seems you Have! Thank you so much

ok....ok so that wasn't exactly true on how these came about lol, but what a gorgeous example- The Ebony being so light as well to show that Red - it looks like Cocobolo - beautiful! ( dayam... thats a honey my friend - whew )

 

[Campbellclanman]

Both special versions as nice as each other there Charlie - that PeachSeed mmmmmm!

Initially didn't chase the ancient TCs … got my first discovered that was a real mistake, the smooth bone trips my trigger.

 

[waynorth]

Nice "old" collection, John!!

 

[The Shatz]

Great collection John!!

agreed, I remember when those used to float for a little bit, but ive grown to like that blade profile immensely as I continue to see a traditional with nice slim lines. as much as I enjoy clip blades, there is something asymmetric about them.

Very glad folks are posting such beautiful knives...there was a wee bit of hesitancy at first....given the "photo bucket curse" these new postings are a great reference point. Can you kind gentleman provide insights into the sequence of the HJs...in particular the numerical sequencing (e.g., what is different between the various models)? Thanks much. Mark
