I want to see 'em make the same knife with a pen blade.
This one is very close,Glenn !!!!


It is nice, but I need the ebony and the same shield as the HJ. The whole package speaks for me but for the punch blade.

My Antique Walnut #85 HJ arrived the other day. Another outstanding piece.....
And I love the bone on this one...........
Can't decide which I like more, this one or the one I have in Ebony.

LOL Murph, it ain't easy nowadays. There's pickers in town that can't make ends meet cause the business has stalled somewhat. Thank you Jerry, Big Monk and Murph! I have always had a strong feeling about these knives for the history involved in making them. I'm a big history buff.

Hey Perry, that is a nice group! They look so great all lined up!
If I am not mistaken, that HJ1 has Buffalo Horn handles - the only one in existence!!

Yep, that's it Charlie. So proud to have that knife and show it to whoever comes by. They always say the same thing, "I can't believe that's the only one made!" I always say the same thing, "GIVE IT BACK NOW!"

Hey Singin and TJ, maybe we need to start a AAPK blue grass band, "count me in"

first song will be (Life is like a Mountian Railway) then (Jimmy Brown the News Boy) then my favorite (Maidens Pray) guess we need a fiddle player for that one!!!!!!!!
and one and two (take it TJ) lay down a lick or two.
My feets stomping just thinking of it.
