OOOoooohhhh! One day, when I grow up and can track down an old Case Jack that I like, I do so hope that it looks like that one :):)

I'm living proof that you don't need to grow up to accomplish that wish. :cool:
 
I've got my Jerry Halfrich Small Rounder in my pocket today. 3 5/8" closed with a CPM 154CM blade that is scary sharp with a nice thin edge. I really like this knife!

Gary, I think Nessmuk would approve your choice! (I know I do!) :thumbup:

For my part, I've got my Ken Erickson stockman in pocket today. At 3.75" it's a joy to carry and the blade selection just makes it incredibly useful! :cool:

Elliot, that is a great knife! Ken always does a nice job, and I love the blades on that stockman ,and the bone is beautiful. I am sure you enjoy carrying that one.
For my part I am carrying a GEC Northfield Big Jack in Burnt Stag.

Thank you both. :cool:

Ken builds a great knife and beyond that, builds a great knife to the specifications you had in mind...size, blade profiles, bone color and jigging, etc.

I'm doubly blessed by being able to call him a dear friend. :thumbup:

I'll second that. That's a fine looking Stockman Elliott. The color on that bone is really nice!

There's a bunch of great knives posted here gang. It's really a treat to see them all. Thanks for showing them.
 
Magnificent Stockman, Elliott, and Gary, Wow - that Halfrich small Rounder is my grail knife :eek:. I've lusted after one of those since its introduction, and yours is one of the nicest examples I've seen. :thumbup:

Rick you'd probably like the fixed blade version as well. ;)
(And thanks again for the good words, guys.)

I had nothing to do with brainstorming the design of the frame of Jerry's "Rounder" but I did suggest the blade profile to him. I'm really pleased that it turned out to be so well received. :cool:
 
Well, today I'm wearing the same pants as yesterday around the farm and thus have the same knives - Jani's SAK Spartan and the amber bone mini-copperhead that this thread was instrumental in "enabling". - Ed
 
I have this guy in my pocket, along with my tribal spear. I don't like the look of "new" stag, so I've been giving this guy some extra attention, to get him to look a bit more mellow. I've discovered that carrying a stag knife in the pocket with my keys and change, it seems to "age" the stag nicely. It seems to be working on this knife so far! It's a 2007, and was still "new in box" until last week. The scales were some kind of thirsty- you wouldn't believe how much mineral oil they sucked up! :eek:

Oh, and Elliott, congrats in your 11k post! :thumbup:
 
Well now Ladies and Gents,

I had this one land in the Post Office Box this afternoon. She's an old vintage Dog-Leg Jack slipjoint knife pattern from way back when. But, she's been produced most recently. I very much really like these old pocket knife patterns and to tell you all the truth I wasn't expecting much when I pre-ordered her up little more than a week ago. I have owned 1930's S&M, Queen, and other vintage USA offerings from the early 20th century not to mention several custom mades as well that I have used..

I must confess I am way more than pleasantly surprised by what I have received. :)

Fit and finish is way above and beyond what anyone would expect from any production slippy. Nice solid blade half-stops, no side to side blade wobble, great blade snap with loud echoes.. And well, the rest you may just judge for yourself from the pix..

Me, I just slipped her into my right hand jeans watch pocket to use from now on and see how she holds up to my typical EDC tasks.. I'll let you know.
