Does anyone have a Jeffin knife?

I don't mean to embarrass Jeff or in any way take away from any of the other great knife mechanics here on the forum but I have become a fan of Jeffin's knives.He is the only mechanic that I have dealt with here and I have to say it is great for a poor knife accumulator like me to be able to purchase what I consider a custom knife at a reasonable price. Well, for me it is a custom knife anyway. I've seen quite a few people sharing their Jeffin knives and thought it would be interesting to see them in one thread. Would anyone like to show their Jeffin knife here?

Although I don't own a Jeffin mod Nick lots of members do, so I would think this thread will see plenty of action! Great idea bud, and beautiful knives you posted! 8)

I have one. Smooth Autumn Gold. The dual threaded bolsters sold me on
this one.

His knives show great craftsmanship. He is a good communicator
when purchasing his knives. He is a great member to have on
this forum. He mails his knives like a pro.

The knife pictured is more gold in color, Pardon the morning light.

I agree, Jeff does some fine work! Not sure why I don't have one of his knives, but I have been tempted several times!

Looks as if I-Man buys a lot of his bone material knives and I buy mostly Micarta knives from Mr. Finamore here are the seven I own from him, as of now

I have a very nice Jeff re-handled 125OT hunter in micarta but it didn't scan well. I am very happy with it.

Thanks a lot, that's what I thought when I grabbed it. That and how come this one isn't gone already? Thanks again. And I really like that bird etch trade mark you have on those fixed. Sadly I didn't get one on any of the ones I bought from him. You're lucky.

funny I bought the two sharpfingers and about a week later I picked up the small game knife, he put yellow liners on it (not my most liked color ) but does it look good on the small hunter.

I think it looks great. I love a good yellow and then next to the killer blonde micarta looks great to me. One of a kind look too, to me anyway, doesn't seem like I've seen a lot of yellow liners and next to that color it pops.

I’m pleased to see him making fixed blades, and the 1080/buckeye burl one I got is a first class piece of work. I’m convinced he should’ve charged me significantly more for it.

That said, I fear that fixed blades will divert his attention from senior and jumbo stockman restorations, which he’s so darn good at. Oh well, can’t be a bad thing to develop new skills.

Thanks Jeff, if you’re reading this. The knives I’ve gotten from you are at the top of my collection.

I've got 2 examples of his work, very nice knives.
I also have samples from some of of our other excellent knife craftsman, Muskrat Man, Glennbad, and Orvet.
They all amaze me with their craftsmanship.

I've acquired two different pieces of Jeff's work back in 2020
A beautiful Camillus 4 line easy open jack with smooth Ruby Red bone handles and this Imperial Scout knife, (72 pattern ) with Nectarine colored Aberdeen jigged bone handles
Love them both... ::ds::

Jeff does some excellent work ::tu::
