I man I think that jigged wood looks like a Schrade. Great looking stuff.

Ralph I used to collect English jacks and the 87 is a beauty.

I got these at the GEC Rendezvous, I wore my AAPK T shirt, only saw one other AAPK member, whom I'd never met.

Lyle - I can only imagine your english jack collection if it was any thing close to the farmer jacks collection ::hmm:: That 87 is heavenly with its cloud shield and that 65 is super hot, I love red stag. Way to go ::tu:: in representing the club with your AAPK shirt... wish I could've made it to the rendezvous.

Handles are old celluloid in perfect condition. Wish I could find more of the old stuff.

Nice handles on that one Hardman.

It was fun hanging out with you and Donna John. I forgot that you're probably more active on AAPK than I am. I was just surprised at how few AAPKers come to the Rendezvous.

Rick ( I can't remember your AAPK moniker) was there and maybe someone else I take for granted.

I had the WJ out and figured I’d pull out the English jack for a Sunday side-by-side shot
