I'm very happy with my Burnside Jack, but am also intrigued by the Forrest Jack and Elephant Ivory Norfolk. Here's a picture of my Burnside.

Is that the calico bone Derrick? And I love the look of the new pouches! The smaller knives don't get 'lost' in them do they? If you catch my meaning...?

The two must have are Burnside Jack and Norfolk. Just fantastic knives IMO.

I love this one, Northwoods Small Congress:
And the Mini Moose too:
Of course, the Norfolk is sweet too!
I love that mini-moose. Just fantastic

Yes, that is a calico bone. The pouch is obviously too large for that knife, but it works fine for it. I have gotten so used to carrying the pouch that it goes into it just like my larger knives. Works just fine.
Ok, so here is probably a better answer from me. I snapped this pic this morning at the store.
These are, hands down, my favorite two Northwoods.
The top one is a Burnside. I am in love with the dogleg design -- it fits my hand perfectly. I also love (and I know some don't) the Northwoods stamp on the blade.
The second one is the Indian River Jack. It is my favorite all around user pocket knife. It is thin, stout, ATS-34 steel and razor sharp (convex ground by Bark River). Honestly, it is everything I love in a pocket knife.

Have to agree with Derrick on the Indian River Jack for all the same reasons. I'll add its a very slim and light package that caries very well. There is a lot of blade packed into that frame. As mentioned before the Bark River convex on the blade is superb. Here's mine in cocobolo.
Derrick yours is sweet. I wish those covers were still available.
My second would have to be the GEC made bullet jack. The reason being is I really like the 25 frame. It's the perfect (IMHO) watch pocket size knife.

The Indian River jack is quite nice, it likes to go to work with me too
I love the ebony handles on it, and the Scagel nick is a nice touch. :thumbup:
Ahhh, that is an old one! I think those were made by Ol' Dave. (actually Queen, but he would say he did!)
