Northwoods Forest Jack

[gsmith7158]

I noticed that there wasn't a thread for these so I thought I would start one. These were made in 2013 on the 54 Frame.
#54 Burnt Stag 55 pcs. no # #54 Pioneer Bone 47 pcs. no # #54 Yellow Bone 1 pc. no # #54 Dark Green Camel Bone 4 pcs. no # #54 Brown Camel Bone 2 pcs. no # #54 Purple Camel Bone 5 pcs. no # #54 Black Camel Bone 3 pcs. no # #54 Green/White Camel Bone 6 pcs. no # #54 Blue Camel Bone 3 pcs. no # #54 White/Black Camel Bone 1 pc. no # #54 Smooth Calico Bone 50 pcs. no #
This one is one that has some customizing done to it with a Krien regrind to the blade and an easy open cut out. I would love to see some more. Show us what you have.

I like the Forest Jack and prefer it to the Fremont. The Fremont is 3 3/4" and a sleeveboard frame with caps. All of this i would normally go for ++ but the Fremont has the Bohncliffe blade which i think detracts from the overall usefulness.
The Forest Jack is equal end and has a really fine Spearpoint blade which i think makes it a superior knife.
The Bear Lake has a similar blade but is smaller.
Would be neat to see a picture of a Forest Jack and a Bear Lake to see the comparison.

Per your request Roland , a bear lake and a forest jack for comparison.

Thanks for sharing, eo mod looks badass. I’m looking for one there a little hard to come by.

Thank you Greg. As i thought in my 'mind's eye', the Bear Lake is somewhat like a scaled down Forest Jack; both are barehead jacks and blades have a very similar spear point grind. It is a very pleasing pattern in both sizes.
I did have a Forest Jack which i sold some years ago. I'm pretty sure it had factory mammoth handles even though i do not see mammoth in the list of handle materials in o.p.
Northwoods would do well with a second release of the Forest Jack.
Does GEC have a sleeveboard frame that is larger than the Bear Lake ? i.e. would be neat to have a sleeveboard pattern the size of the Forest Jack.

My one and only wharncliffe FJ in cocobolo

Very nice Buckibbq! Cocobello is stunning on a big knife like that. I was able to find a buddy for my EO. It arrived today . Calico bone.

Some beautiful knives there. I always appreciate the EO's. All lovely.

[BuckSharp]

That calico bone is pretty sweet! That’s one of the covers I’m missing in my Fremont collection. Haven’t seemed to run across one yet.

Love the thread!

[BuckSharp]

Latest Forest Jack addition in Mammoth. These knives have the hardest pull of any Northwoods I have. Not complaining, either.

Lovely. Congrats.
