Jeffn Camillus 23

Post by Colonel26 »

Haven’t picked up hardly any new knives this year, but this one takes the cake! Jeff did this just like the one he showed earlier. I couldn’t be more pleased. The walk and talk is like baby bear’s porridge, just right. The bone fits better than some factory handles I’ve seen, just right. And one thing I personally appreciate is how he thinned the bone and radiused the edges. There’s not a sharp corner on it, just like CASE and Camillus USED to do.

The blisters are polished well too, no pins visible. This is the only one if Jeff’s knives I have and I’m very impressed. Kudos Jeff!!

I sent Jeff my Father's old Boker 9471.
When I got it back, I couldn't believe it was the same knife.
He does some mighty fine work and would recommend Him to anyone. ::tu:: ::handshake::

Thanks for sharing. That is a beauty! Jeff turned a humble Cammy 23 into a work of art, and the fit and finish looks perfect. Bravo! ::tu:: ::tu::

It is all in the details; and it appears that he checked off every box!
Looks great!

Hit the wrong button and now can't undo it. Sorry for the redundant posts.
