Yeah, Joe. I'm a bit envious of that one. She's a beauty. Wish she were mine.

Well let me add something Joe. Some knives have something a bit extra, I don't know where it comes from or its source. Maybe its from the people who worked on the knife or maybe there is simply no explaining it. But I am going to call it personality. For me your Challenge has that...personality, making it somewhat more than the sum of is parts. ::tu::

Some very nice Jack's being shown in this thread everyone.

I think these qualify, first is a Joseph Rodgers, about 4", it's English and its a jack :) The other is a single blade Cattaraugus, 4 1'/4, nice hefty knife.
