Mike, galvanic1882, your knives are always so impressive. Seems mostly for their scarcity and age. Such a pleasure to look at.

Here's some of my old scruffies.

Thanks tj. They are good working knives, except the Pauls; broken blade and no snap. I bought it for the stamp: 1887 - 1905.

Singin', you got a honey there. It's amazing what they can do with formica these days. :lol:
Seriously, a right fine knife.
