All About Pocket Knives

I think I may have solved the mystery of who the scrimshander MW is. Going through & updating pictures of some stuff, I was doing belt buckles & noticed the name on this buckle: M.A.WILKINSON. The background resemales the one on the O.P.'s knife. The date on the buckle is 7/83 so he may not ...

Drawer 4 of the cigar box & the 2nd drawer of pearls.
