I believe these were just using up the last of the blades left around, which is why the release only had 35 pieces instead of the usual 60.

I wanted to show this one, even thought they are not yet made/released yet. It's neat to see the new pattern. This is a club knife for the Slipjoint Exchange Facebook group. They are still deciding on the exact handle material, but pretty cool to see the coffin jack come to life.

This is another new one just announced. This new pattern is a farmers jack, called the Rooster Comb. These are under the Titusville Cutlery Co brand, and the first two variations in the series in Gaboon Ebony w/ bolsters, and Cocobolo Rosewood in a shadow pattern. They measure 4 1/8 inch closed, and have 1095 High Carbon blades.

Ryan should have these at the Lexington show this coming weekend. Usually Lyle is there, so he should see them in person.

Carl gave me a joyous heads up several months ago and I appreciate that. He also brought me some tasty maple syrup. 😊

I spoke to Ryan about the same time , hopefully I'll be able to acquire one of each in Lexington.

Another new release. These were a SFO for dealer TSA Knives, making the Old Man Jack pattern into a caplifter under the Titusville Cutlery brand. 16 different variations, using 3 different main blades, and a variety of colors of both Box Elder and Giraffe Bone handles.

The OMJ looks good with the Giraffe Bone. Would make a nice companion for my Napanoch Longneck Barlow. Will you guys have any of these OMJs in Lexington this weekend?

Ryan should have some leftover inventory of prior releases with him. I can't say for certain what he has on hand, other than he will have a lot of the new Rooster Combs that just came out. These OMJ in giraffe were an SFO for TSA Knives, so I believe they have all of them at their store in Minnesota. They should be posting them up onto their store website within the next few days.

These are not released yet, they are currently in production. But I was able to get a couple of each for photos, and thought it would be good to show what is coming up next. The farmer jack in both ivory and jig bone.

Yep. Chuck calls his "River Pattern Damascus" but I believe both terms are used pretty often.
