What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I hope everyone's been doing well. I haven't been around much lately, but hope to change that as I miss checking in with all of you on a regular basis. I've been carrying the knife below since it was delivered on Saturday.

I suspect that we've all been captivated by a particular knife at one time or another. For me, that knife is/was a Rosewood JBF Eureka Jack. From the first time I saw a photo of one and then read the story behind the covers and the knives themselves, I've been obsessed with finding one. As a matter of fact, the hunt for that specific knife is what brought me to this forum for the first time (a very happy consequence of my search). Well sometime back, Mike (galvanic1882) contacted me and offered to help me with my hunt. A very kind and gracious offer by Mike and one that I greatly appreciate. So after a nearly two year search, Mike contacted me to let me know that he found me a set of the Eureka Jacks, as well as, a set of first run JBF Champlin Teardrop Jacks. What to say after so long a search? Archimedes exclamation seems fitting, "Eureka!" :D

Again, I hope you're all doing well and having a great week. And Mike, thanks again my friend! :)

Wow! That is a amazing looking knife! Congrats on your catch, Stephen.
 
Kris that Coats is out of this world. I can't keep staring at how smoothly contoured the hand and bolsters were done. Looks supremely pocketable.

Very nice knives everyone:thumbup:

Jack - Thanks for the kind words on the electrician :)

Stephen - I am glad your search for your new Rosewood JBF Eureka Jack led you here. I love the shield, rosewood, blades, matchstrike longpull, bolster, what the, I just love that knife and you have captured the beauty well. Damn nice of Mike to help you find it.

Carrying a gift from my daughter. This one just loves my pocket.

Congrats on the Eureka Jacks Stephan!! Great looking knives and the history on the rosewood is very cool too.
