Mike, That NYK scimitar is crazy! Let me know if you ever get tired of looking at it. Beautiful!

Very nice Mike, I'll look forward to seeing them in two weeks. There are a lot of beauties on this thread. Makes me sad though that my mint "Staunch" and some of my other NYK knives got messed up by the flood during hurricane Irene. I'll try to find some of them for this thread.

Mike and cato, really beautiful knives.

Here's a honkin' old swell center Hammer. Quite snappy, 1/2 stops x 2, 3 3/4".
Very solid.
Thanks.

Robert -
As Scarlet O'Hara would say "I'm pea green with envy." That's a beautiful knife. I'm a sucker for the easy openers, too.
Wish I'd seen it on fleabay.....................
