I have owned one for probably 6-7 years and I agree with everything that you wrote and the VG-10 steel is awesome as well. I also carry mine about 20 or so days a year and love it infact I’m pulling my back out and in my pocket haha
Glad you finally pulled the trigger

Ha ha ha, the power of suggestion. I hear you. I started seeing them a couple of years ago on the forums. Maybe it was you. Don't recall, but it made an impact. Slow cooking on the back burner since then. What a machine though, when I see this, what is possible, I am really impressed because it puts my GEC Lock Backs to shame in the lack of movement department. Moki also puts them and all others to shame in about every other category. Blows them away. Have a Glory and Kronos, and will get more. These things are such fine knives for the price. The Glory was less than eighty bucks. For that price IMHO, it's got to be about the best there is. Kronos are more, but again, for the price of two average, middle of the road knives from Case, Queen, etc. there is no comparison to me. This one blows them away. You can have a couple more average knives or you can have a super fine smooth operating finely crafted precision machine. I have plenty of average knives I'd trade for one of these. Not even close. Moki wins. I'd put any pocket knife up against them and even custom makers stuff. There might be better out there, but my limited experience has not brought me across any yet.

Elvis (Bob P.) re-handled a Camillus 72 in stag for me. I got it back yesterday. I'm quite pleased with it. Thank you Bob. Thought y'all might like to see it.

I am currently involved in a trade and my trading partner sent me three Black Box Winchesters to choose from. They arrived today and I'm going to pick one and send the other two back along with my end of the trade. A unique opportunity for me.

You got that right, Paul!KnifeSlinger#81 wrote:Rick that is a tough choice!
I also got this Schatt & Morgan Executive Jack today and I get to keep this one. I'm pretty much over the moon satisfied with this knife. It's built on the same #99 frame as the Northwoods Indian River Jack but I would actually rather have this knife because of the much lower price, quality build, and the ATS-34 Wharncliffe blade.
It's about time I found something that I actually like the lower cost alternative better. This is a really sweet knife.

Nice choice on the S&M #99 Executive Jack, Rick. I have several 99s as well as an IRJ and, other than the price, shield and wharncliffe blade, they're basically the exact same knife. Schatt & Morgan got that one right for sure.
I'm back on the ivory fixation...picked up these two little sleeveboards from a seller right here on AAPK where the ivory trade is still alive and well. Although to be clear, both of these are made with pre-ban ivory.

Great choice. That 2921 is a real class act. I'm very partial to the Black Box Winchesters. Queen did an outstanding job on them.

Thanks, Jerry! It was a combination of the size, half stops, and extended wrap-around backspring on the pen blade that put the Coffin Jack in first place.jerryd6818 wrote:Great choice.
