Had the great pleasure of photographing this Texas Jack for a favorite client of mine. Love the clip blade shape and rich colored scales which are said to be original Remington bone.
From Tony himself about this knife: "Rhett gave us an old KA-Bar and Reese patterned it. It has an unusual clip blade with a recurve . It was a great old early KA-BAR that Rhett sent up here."

That is a spectacular take on one of my favorite patterns.
Lovely photograph by the way.:thumbup:
 
Thanks for posting! That's a gorgeous T. Bose and an excellent image of it.
 
Just beautiful. I really like that clip blade and the curve on the back of the handle is sublime. Against that beautiful checkered stock. Wow! A stunning shot that did that knife proud.
 
Very nice kinfe. Interesting that a knife scaled with original Remington scales is posed against an Ithaca shotgun. Nice old shotgun by the way.

Will someone explain to me what Tony meant when he said "....................and Reese patterned it.".

The Texas Jack would make a great Forum Knife for us for 2012.
 
Reese patterned it, he made the master patterns. When he was young that was part of the learning process. Take a picture and make the patterns to make that knife or look at an old knife and make them.
 
Outstanding picture. When I first looked at the shotgun, I thought the checkering was an older Remington Wingmaster...

Beautiful knife and congrats to the owner.
 
I think it's an Ithaca Model 37
Nice Texas Jack pattern too

That's a wonderful knife. That recurve Clip edge is right out of the Remington songbook. I have owned a few, and it took a while to realize they were made that way, and not worn from sharpening.
The recurve gives a nice advantage to slicing things.
Nicely detailed by the pattern maker, and the artisan!!
 
What a fantastic knife. I'm guessing this was the old KA-BAR version that was the inspiration. This one is a little over 4" closed. thanks for sharing, Barry

That's the knife. The one we had here had never been sharpened and was stag. There was a pretty good recurve in the blade when new.
