Haven't got a pic yet but in my pocket is the 2013 GEC Blade Forum's Traditional Congress Jack.
So far seems to be the most elegant knife we've done so far.

Thank you SH, that is a very nice BRK as well. Maple is my favorite wood for knife handles and yours is a wonderful representation.

Thanks! I was told this Boker was a mid 90's knife when I got it. It is carbon steel and every bit as tight and snappy as my #85 GEC. I wish I had another one but have never seen one for sale. The "Boker Ebony Jack" name was from a knife glossary list that showed the same knife although the scales on mine were listed as "composite"in the "bay"ad.
I wouldn't take for it!

Thanks Gev
Thank you sir!! The other cover is more straight grain but still beautiful in its own right.
Ever notice how your standard for sharpness moves upward over time? And every once in a while, you find yourself reluctant to carry a knife that has been left-behind by that standard, until you can get it up to snuff?
Thats what happened to this little conductor -- which situation it protested by biting me last night. Point taken. I stropped it a bit (just to have the last word, really), and it accompanies me today.

Nice one!
This one just came to me yesterday, so it's in my coat pocket today (and for the forseeable future... makes a handy coat-pocket-carry). It was in a load of nice, old tools that belonged to my uncle's father before he passed. Said uncle is selling his house to travel around the world (!!!), and passed on a ton of cool old stuff to me, this knife included.
Pictured here with my tools today at work:
