Doggonit Ulf ! I've got drool all over the front of my shirt now, and have to change it before I go out again or someone might think I was a pruner. :wink:

M.B., don't even get me started on them foreign knives, I'm broke enough already. ::dang::

I've got 3 more nice ones. I'll get some pics up if it ever stops raining in Pennsylvania. People are lookin' at me funny with the rowboat in the back of the truck

They think I know something they don't. :lol:

Here is my first pressbutton. Not much blade left but it has a story. Picked it up at the local farmers market and by the time I left I was feeling sorry for myself for paying $20 for it. There was a rusty mangled hunk of steel that slightly resembled a blade, no spring and someone had beat the button into oblivion trying to make it stay open I guess. I ripped it apart, made a spring, tried to make that chunk of steel look more like a blade, and got the action worked out. These have a very complex construction when compared to your usual german leverlock and I had to turn a bushing for the blade to ride on becuase the old one was ruined during disassembly (common I suppose)

Anyway here it is. I wish I had taken before pictures. It is one of the larger 4 7/8" models I love the bone on it.

Fran,

What a haul!

All are very nice, you don`t see too many black and white cell. handle ones, very unusual ::tu::

Thanks Dimitri.

I didn't know that I would like the b&w stripe as much as I do, but It makes me think of 1940 and Raymond Loewy, streamliners and Studebakers, the GG1 and the S1.

Same old knife with a Moderne look !
