Thats a real neat looking knife, in fact VERY neat looking at that rear of the Punch it is neither of what we have just discussed - so.....
Here is another neat challenge Knife, this older Jack has a lot to like about it, real nice Jigged Bone in superb order- Etch still screams out over Sharpening Marks and lovely Washington Bolsters!

Good informational post, Duncan! Some answers and more questions. As Roger alluded to, there will always be unanswered questions.
Joe, beautiful celluloid on that Challenge!

Re: A CHALLENGE for you.
Thanks for the kind comments FRJ, JohnR and Dan
Harold Sir, that's the Punch we are talking about and was also sported on one of Charlies HJ's as well, note the similarities - such as the obvious same Patent numbered Punch that Rats beautiful Tailed Bolster, your Empire is also sporting another the shield that I have seen a few in the past as well
My friend I can also see a etch remaining there also- That is one HJ that I am hunting for for my collection - very nice!

Re: A CHALLENGE for you.
No where near being in the same league as some of the knives that have been shown in this thread but figured I would share the three Challenge knives that I have. Have always had a thing for the brand and look forward to seeing more examples of what they produced. Hopefully I'll manage to snag a couple more for my collection along the way!

Re: A CHALLENGE for you.
Thanks LongBlade . It has a little blade loss from sharpening but not to bad. The blade looks to be nearly full length which is unusual for these thin toothpick blades. Normally they've been tipped at some point in there life. Bone handles are great. No chips or splits. And blade snaps good open and closed.LongBlade wrote:That is one sweet toothpick Eye Brand Man .. like you I never saw a Challenge toothpick - the bone is classic Challenge jigging and blade looks be be not abused !
