Great Eastern Cutlery Tidioute #44 Buffalo Jack Strawberry Jigged Bone 1095 Carbon Steel Gunstock Pocket Knife (3.50" Closed) 441126

Snapping shut with a solid crack, the Great Eastern Cutlery Tidioute #44 Buffalo Jack in Strawberry jigged bone puts a bold, showy handle on a classic single-blade 1095 gunstock.

• 1095 Carbon Steel Clip Blade - One clip point blade handles the cutting, with a fine tip for detail work. 1095 sharpens quickly and takes a keen edge, but it is not stainless. Wipe it dry after use and add a drop of oil now and then. Expect a gray patina with use.
• Strawberry Jigged Bone Covers - These cattle bone covers carry Strawberry color over the jigged texture found on classic American pocketknives. The cuts give fingers something to bite into. Like any natural bone, each set of covers shows its own shade and pattern.
• Slip Joint Action - A stout backspring gives the blade a firm pull to open. It settles into a clean half stop on the way open and on the way closed. Push past that point and the blade snaps shut on the spring with real authority.

The Great Eastern Cutlery #44 Buffalo Jack

The Buffalo Jack is the #44 pattern from Great Eastern Cutlery, a take on the old American gunstock jack. Gunstock patterns take their name from the handle profile, and the frame narrows behind the front bolster which widens toward the back, giving it the outline of a rifle stock. GEC builds every one in Titusville, Pennsylvania, where more than 200 hand operations go into a single knife.
