Show us your Traditional Special Factory Orders (SFOs)

[pistonsandgears]

Some of my favorite knives are the special factory orders that are commissioned to be built by the various slipjoint makers. I did a quick search and didn't see any thread dedicated to all traditional SFOs all the time. I did find a SFO Saturday thread and a Charlie's SFO thread but I think we have room for a thread dedicated to all SFOs everyday.

So lets see some SFOs!
Here is a selection of examples of SFOs that I have been fortunate enough to gather over the years. (I should have taken a blades open picture too when weather improves here i'll see about doing that)

This Northwoods Indian River Jack seems to be the only non-GEC built SFO that I have currently.

This Copperlock is a SFO for Smokey Mountain several years ago. Should have bought the whole line.

Very nice collection :thumbup: What's the knife top-left, looks like a Wharncliffe Trapper?

Thanks Primble, I have gotten lucky with the ones that have been sent to me, but most of these are done so well its hard to find a bad one

Thanks Jack, you are correct the knife top-left is a Wharncliffe Trapper built on the GEC #48 frame. Mike at collectorknives commissioned it. Its got satin finished blades and a different shield in comparison to the regular Northfield version.

Couple of my favorites too, sad I missed out on those. Really like the Osage. I keep hoping one will pop up on the exchange or something.

Yes, I like the Osage a lot too. So much that I've blocked from my memory how much I overpaid for it.

I would agree. It is the only one I have that I have considered getting another one. Mike hit another home run with that one.

^^^Great knives, nice to see all the forum knives together. I have always been very curious about the 2006 ring opener, how does that work?

Jeff, that painted pony is really pretty, what do they call that handle?
