The reintroduction of the Harness Jack started at Queen Cutlery with 3 Schatt and Morgan releases.
When Bill Howard left Queen to start GEC in 2006, Charlie followed Bill and Great Eastern has produced all the rest.
Here's the story!! :mrgreen:

I enjoyed going through all the posts in that older thread awhile back and this reintroduction thread is a nice wake up call for all to enjoy the Harness Jack. You don't see many for trade or sale or even pictures being posted lately. I'm a Harness Jack fan, nice looking HJ Dave, thanks for sharing.

This Harness Jack is one of the first GEC knives I bought. It's an 08 but I picked it up in January of '12. Anybody know what the 'P' in the pattern number stands for? It's #18 of 48.

Jerry, the P means that the knife has a Punch.

Dave, that stag is stunning. Maybe I should have some gnarly stag put on my #54. ::woot::

Thanks Jerry!!
I'm sure it would look good and if you planned to keep the knife and use it, why not??
But for resale I would probably leave it as is. :wink:
