Re: JBF Champlin & Sons
Haven't seen a single one of these on the secondary market. That must mean the people like 'em.

Re: JBF Champlin & Sons
I have never seen one for sale either. When Bill contacted me that he had these made from the remaining parts of the Eureka run Derek and I were very happy. Only 13, 2 bladed ones with wooden handles, not the old Cattaraugus Rosewood and 1 single blade. But the one that I was most happy to get was a 2 bladed knife with the old Catt Rosewood handles.
Below is a picture of 3 knives, The single bladed one is the only one made and the 2 blade deep laser engraved JBF is the only one with the old Catt handles. The knife deep laser engraved GALVANIC was from the first run and is what I call a sterile knife. There is no serial number on it. GEC sometimes etches these prototype but they are not really just overruns.
I would buy any and all JBF Champlin knives back that I can find.

Thanks for sharing that beautiful 92 Stag! It’d be a thrill to own any one of those special JBF knives. The hunt continues!
I’m a long time collector in search of rare and limited GEC AND Northwoods knives. Always looking to add ivory pieces to my collection. PM to discuss sales or trades, please!

Re: JBF Champlin & Sons
Nice score, there were only 15 of them made that have that etch. Wish I could have had them all made with the old Cattaraugus wood. Had to settle for rosewood that Bill had.

Re: JBF Champlin & Sons
Happy Father's Day to all the Fathers out there. If you like the 85's here are 4 of them I have not posted before. When Derek and I were having Bill make our knives we started with the 85's. 50 were in bone and 50 were in ebony. It was not the wood we found in the old Cattaraugus factory but ebony that Bill had. Since we were getting our trademarks done we asked Bill to make 3 knives with an etch for each of the trademarks in the 85 pattern. He made 2 sets of the knives, one for me and one for Derek. Since we only had about 20 old Rosewood handles from the factory at the time we asked him to also make 5, 85's using the old wood. Derek got one, his ex wife who is a Champlin got one, the owner of the old Cattaraugus factory got one and my friend Donna that went with me to collect the wood got one also. Pictured is mine.
Also we hope to have a single bladed knife with the old Rosewood handles from the factory for sale in Aug/Sept. They will not be made by GEC but by a custom maker. Should be 15 only!!! We are very excited to say the least.
