I have had the display stand knife for a few years now. It had cracked/missing bone scales and needed the small Sheepfoot re-profiled, Herb fixed those issues. The other was spotted by a buddy in a NY State antique shop and I told him to snag it. I've had it for a couple months now. What a find! ::ds::

Added another Eureka Jack to the collection, a very nice 3 1/2"ebony Ulster. Knife is close to unused with great etch. Eureka's are one of the toughest patterns to find. Last pic shows it next to my carry GEC Eureka, slightly smaller.

Thank you all for the nice comments. ::tu:: ::tu:: Was really happy to add this one to the collection, most of the Eureka jacks I've seen and handled are in ebony, would love to find one in bone or stag.

My goodness John, I don't know how you find so many beautiful knives.
I also believe Eureka Jacks are a hard pattern to find. The only one that I have is a GEC.
