JBF Champlin & Sons Cutlery knife #2 on the way

I wanted to update all of the members who are interested in the knives we are having made for us by GEC. Derek, Bill and I have been talking about this since our first knife was in the process of being made and have decided that we are going to do a Eureka Jack. We wanted to, again do an older pattern and if you look at the picture that I have included you will see 3 Eureka's. From the left, a custom knife made for me by Ken Erickson an OVB marked knife that was made by New York Knife Co and a Carrier Cutlery salesman's knife. The knife that GEC will be making will have some items from each of these. I have always loved this pattern and since it is an old one thought that it would fit in nicely with what we are doing.

Derek will be updating our website as you knives are being made and you can go to the GEC site to see the knives also. We are hoping to have the knives done by the end of Feb or the begining of March.

We will be doing something special with these also like the wiping cloths being added to the first knife so keep checking the 2 sites for more info.

Thanks Mike & Derek, JBF Champlin & Sons Cutlery

Derek,

You and Mike should be happy and proud! A good bit of work went into the design, the special aspects of that and even the artwork The concept was fantastic, the reality is stunning

Congratulations and a great trip through "box opening" which if you are not a collector you may not appreciate what that means. I share your enthusiasm for the knife and what they are trying to accomplish!
