Okay, this is a great thread, but now it has cost me money! I had no intention of seeking out a harness jack, but a few days ago I came across this one on Ebay. The price was not bad, and it has the clip blade, which I prefer. After reading this story I could not resist bidding. It arrived today, and I have to say that it is a mighty nice knife. The size is good for pocket carry, but plenty big for rough work like cutting thick leather or rawhide. I can certainly see why Charley wanted to bring this knife back to life!

Dave - they call it Sandbar, an acrylic I am told. I could not resist testing that leather punch. It works just as good as it looks.

WLF - that is a beautiful knife! I really prefer the clip blade versions over the spear blades. Looks like yours is just slightly serpentine: or is that just my eyes?

That is a beautiful example Lyle! ::drool:: And yes Dinadan the pattern #66 is a serpentine frame.
After revisiting this thread I realized that I skipped right over HJ #6 ::dang:: So I figured I'd better pick up the slack before Charlie has some words for me. :shock: So here are the knives that make up CC HJ6...

The Red Jigged bone...

The Bark Ivory, mark, 1 of only 3 made...

The 3 Bark Ivories, Charlie's pic...

I believe the example I posted is the bottom 1.



The #66 pattern is 3 7/16" closed, it has cam tangs on both blade and punch. And the punch was copied, as Charlie pointed out, from an old Case knife.

Dave - Thank you for filling in HJ#6 with such great photos. You used a term I am not familiar with: cam tangs. I am guessing that means that the curved part of the tang does not form a section of a circle with the pivot at the pin.

It just means the tang is round, no half stops. ::tu::

I think that ivory came from a tusk that Charlie sent Bill Howard.Those bark ivory knives are special Dave.

Thanks Lyle! I agree they are special!! ::tu::
If I remember correctly you are right about Charlie sending the ivory in to have these made. That won't be happening any more. :x
