Jackpot!! Very nice. Great snakewood (?) on that lamb.
Thank you! Yes snakewood on it, really enjoying that one. Flushing the Barlow now and it probably has the best action I've got from this run. Not perfect but beats the jacks I've got.

The 294 is my favorite Schrade. I have two John Primble 913s, which are really 294s deep down inside.Just received a well used Schrade 294 and mint Schrade 825.
Charlie's barlows and harness jacks dominate talk around here but the trapper jack is probably my favorite of his GEC SFOs. I have been lusting after a legit 294 after seeing a mint one posted here some years back.
Years of surfing the bay finally provided me with something I could work with. I didnt want a mint one as I wouldnt want to use it. Its a little rough around the edges but it is begging me for some jigged bone scales and TLC. I hope to enlist the services of one of our craftsman around here to make it happen.
So hopefully in a few months I will have something to rival my GEC trapper jack. Looking at them side by side you can definitely see that the 294 was Charlie's muse when he came up with that one.
It has pretty full blades and the pen looks almost unused. Good snap and nice patina.

Gotta love a blind purchase that works out to one's satisfaction. And I'm thinking I would be very satisfied with those scales.
