Traditional Knives Anthology 11.0: GEC Washington Jack -- Dripping with History!
Published: 9 years ago
In episode 11.0 of Rob & Steve's Traditional Knives Anthology, we take a look at the stunning GEC Washington Jack. This is a faithful and functional recreation of the legendary 19th century "Sheffield Jack," later reincarnated by Schrade in the late 1950's as the first Old Timer, the "2 OT."
GEC really stretches itself with this one, a Special Factory Order by Charlie Campagna. It's flat, chamfered handle and super fancy "Sheffield" bolsters are new for GEC and despite some telltale signs of early production, the knife absolutely rocks! Take a look...
As usual, the bulk of the research on this pattern was done by our buddy Steve, of "howabouthetruth." Here's a link to Steve's channel page:
