Carrying this guy today. Won it off an auction and came yesterday. A new/old stock Imperial DE 854 jack. It still has the factory grease/preservative in it.

to MattyLav,

It is John Lloyd's slipjoint, but I do not know what is the models. The blade looks like that of one Swayback but not the handle.

(Sorry for my english)
 
Blaine, an old Diamond Edge? Nice what ever brand it is. Love a small jackknife. Ahhh I see if I had read further I would've been able to answer my own question:o

Thanks phacochère, those are some nice knives you've posted! Welcome to Bladeforums!
 
Thanks Kevin. It is 100% mine now, well until my daughter takes it from me when she gets older ;). She has told me to take good care of her yellow rose while I am borrowing it! I am not going to argue with my almost 5 year old about it, ill just buy another for myself later(hoping GEC re-releases the 66 with a coping second :D ).

What a wonderful collection of knives! I can't wait to see each one with its name and maker so that I can better understand them. 3 and 6 down from top on right are of immediate interest!

Yup, it IS yours now. That is what I am liking about my 76 so much. That and "form follows function" is really shining through on this one.

I just took an up to date pic of mine since I know you will appreciate it. I put a lot of work into tuning this one up before I beat it all up again. You remember :)

I understand wanting the coping blade, but I will take the pen (spear) blade of the 76 any day over a coping. I never would have gotten that coconut open so easily with a coping blade.

But hey, I have always preferred the pen blade to coping.

I have only used my small translucent stone for light touch ups. If you look at the edges you can see some low spots from GEC's choppy grinding stone finish. Normally I would wipe that all off on my bench stones, but I was able to hit the apex most of the length of both blades so I am going little by little. I give it a month or two before there is no sign of GEC's original sharpening gouges.

BTW, My dad gave me his carry knife when I was a kid, it made it that much cooler that he carried it and made it his first. Your daughter will be lucky.
 
I do remember the outlaw issues, its looking great these days my friend. Nice even patina on that clip. I know half of us will want pen or coping, just want the manufacturers to start giving us the choice and offer both. If you had a coping could you have pierced it with the clip? Always interested in specific use issues but of course Ill never have that problem, not a fan of coconuts ;)

Thanks Kevin, I know she will actually cherish it. Part of her daily routine when I get home is to ask about my knife I carried that day and how I used it. She hangs out with daddy way to much lol. They are itching to go camping soon with the weather starting to warm. They can not wait to make marshmallow sticks for smores around the fire :thumbup: I will get pics when that day comes :D
 
Awesome that they love spending so much time with you! I can only imagine, as I am not a father.

Looking forward to those pics!

Piercing with the clip? I would not have felt that comfortable with a slipjoint. The pen just felt natural, went in at a slight angle still using the knife safely and took just a couple seconds to slice right around. It worked like butter, felt natural and actually surprised me.

I agree with a maker like GEC it would be nice to see LOTS of variations in the runs. Why not right? When I carried a stockman my least used blade was the coping. I am a huge fan of a nice sharp belly on a knife :eek:

Its just what I am used to :)
 
Now I want to try and open up a coconut :)

I know the dealers wouldnt like more variation but I would. Kind of silly to make every jack knife have the same couple of blade configurations. The more unique knives that GEC makes are the ones that sell out first. Makes more sense to me on a business standpoint to add some new variety(new in the traditional sense). Not like we are asking for tanto blades :D


Now some on topic subject matter ;)

Thanks Doug, I am really starting to enjoy the photography thing. I am getting my wife a new camera soon and will be inheriting the old one, maybe with some more time I can get to your level(not lol). I miss your banana bone, thats the one I wanted and "settled" on the yellow rose ;)

Here is my best shot from this morning imo.
