I don't know if it's been posted and I'm not going to scroll through the entire thread to find out but I like the Case Bomb Shield.

Some great shields above all ::tu:: ::tu:: ...

I have a question that was started in another thread but fits here... I know some companies no doubt made their own shields - some had their own unique shields and one can see slight variations on Federal shields across companies suggesting again each company made their own - but the shields that are exactly the same across cutleries had me thinking if there was a retailer that sold shields to many companies (for example on the Traditional Hunters thread Challenge, Claus and Wilbert knives all had the same shield - and Challenge may have made the Claus & Wilbert which may explain it) ... So the question is "Was there an old retailer of shields that sold to cutleries across the industry in the same fashion that handle companies (such as Rogers) supplied many cutleries???

Thanks MB. The size and variety of my collection is a testimony of my psychosis. ::facepalm:: However, it's entertaining and it's legal! ::super_happy:: ::rotflol::

An interesting question. One that I don't have an answer for. If a demand for something exists someone usually tries to supply it so it's a possibility.

Charlie, I'm fascinated by those "cigar band shields" and some day I'm going to jump right on top of one. Someday. ::nod::

A cigar band center bolster sure does dress up a pocket knife, doesn't it?

Here are a couple of Christmas editions you might like.
