KJ, You asked about a week ago if this was a Burnside jack. It is.

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
The Presidential & the Lincoln Jack, both with mammoth & the Wharncliffe Whittler with ivory. It is knives like these that i would like to see in future Northwoods.

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
H'mmm, no comments. I guess they are just not pretty enuf.
I will try again. Here is the "Willamette Whittler" which is not a whittler at all. It is a Double End Serpentine Jack, but that is kind of a mouthful.

They are all very beautiful Roland! We are all drooling over them and kicking ourselves in the rear for not jumping in to Northwoods knives early on.

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
Yes the Norfolk is a graceful old British pattern. It is admirable of GEC to take on this more complex pattern.
Here is the Esky Zulu. "Zulu" is the name Schrade Cut Co gave to this blade profile that is a bit willow leaf like. This too is a very nice knife.

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
Thanks QT. I was just having fun. Sometimes i see a knife posted weeks prior because i had not visited that forum for weeks. There are lots of 'places' to go to here at AAPK, one cannot visit every forum every day.
Here are 2 more, both Broadway Jacks, one is an E.O. and the other a Regular Jack.

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
Man all these Northwoods knives really get me wanting.
All posted here are very nice but my favorites would probably be K.J's yellow handles Indian River and K.J's mammoth ivory Presidential (or) any one of the Bear Lakes. Then again there are the Zulu's, Willamette Whittlers and all the others. If there was unlimited availability and I had an unlimited budget I think I'd want them all.

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
After seeing the way this thread has gone, I think it appropriate to post my second most favorite Northwoods. The one was gifted to me by Greg (gsmith7158). These Northwoods Willamette Whittlers are soooo classy. Thank you Greg.

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
This thread says favorite knife, so singular, just one knife. Well i tried and each time i selected one, another one would suddenly look 'better'. So sorry, i gave up on just one.
These 3 Northwoods are pretty nice.

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
Thank you Greg. This Presidential is another strong favorite, handles & pattern: 4 1/4", one spring, 2 blades, powerful knife but slender. Must love this one.

Doc, that's a fine looking Apaloosa bone knife. From the most recent Madison Barlow run ?

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
This one would have to be my favorite. Got it from Roland. Beautiful knife.
