Another knife to show in this thread, a prototype barlow with buffalo horn. This one is a bit different than the other already shown, it has the arrow stamp in the bolster.

Another proto here to show, the Old Man Jack bolsterless shadow in green Portal Fluid acrylic.

Another of the EO barlows, this one in brown maple burl. (maybe not the best background for this knife, sort of makes it hard to see/appreciate)

This is a prototype Old Man Jack in the Magic Potion acrylic handle, bolsterless shadow version.

These 2 are extra special to me. These are Tuna Valley stamped farmer's jacks, which were really on made under the Titusville Cutlery line. They were a special project for Ken Daniels, who had 5 made in stag and 5 made in mammoth ivory. He also had the classic 2012-2018 green tube label and COA. The blades are 1095 carbon, where most Tuna Valley knives were made with CM154. Ken made them for only a select few people in his knife-circle of friends, and I was lucky enough to be able to get one of each.

I thought I would show another variation. This is a Phoenix Jack prototype with Oiled Elk Stag handles.

Nice! Lots of swirl in that Damascus. Thanks for showing it.

Really nice jigging on that Wharncliffe, Dave, how does the damascus sharpen up and cut?

The Easy Open, and the Bog Oak handles were both just a sample done to see how the handle material looks/finishes, and the EO to see if collectors liked it or not. Currently no plans to do a full production run with either option yet.
