Re: Hen & Rooster Voss cut question.

No it isn't. That box is from more recent manufacturer whereas a Voss H&R is probably 1960s - early 70s made in the original factory. Never seen an individual box for an early Hen & Rooster and I likely have ~3 dozen. I do recall seeing the odd 1/2 dozen box, and AG Russell had white with bl...

Railsplitter wrote: Sun Oct 09, 2022 2:35 am I’m probably wrong but I predict that the 2022 AAPK knife is already made and it’s a variation of the GEC #35 frame. Just a guess.
That would be phenomenal.

Judging by the apparent spaceship tang stamp it appears the maker is Rob Davidson of Rocket Knives located in Lubbock TX.

I think the $25 value to be very generous. No offense intended, I would just hold onto them as a momento.

This looks to be quite possibly the best 86 out there. Although I also love the Waynorth 86 from 2019, and the BF annuals. Bit this one! Premium jigging seldom, if ever, seen except on Charlie's Diamond knives. The beautiful, bold bolsters and a winning blade combination. Congratulations to all who ...

What is baffling to myself is that there remains unsold 2 blade 15 pattern M&G,'s These were the finest 15 jacks made in the last run. Quite possibly ever. Exquisite jigging on the bone. All it will take for them to be gone is for one of the, ahem, "influencial" knife connoisseurs on F...

Those ended up going quick. I just checked out before you posted that and there were four at that time. Great Eastern does outstanding jigging for Maher and Frosh. Beautiful knives Roger, can't wait.
