I can't believe that I never saw this thread, must have been asleep. Anyway so great knives posted here and thanks to all for sharing them.

Here are a couple to add to the show.

JT Mount NJ is one of my favorites. The Mason knife I never considered a rope knife though?

One for sure a rope knife, the old Camillus and the Case 1199 sure looks like a rope knife.

Dimitri, those all look to be the same length.

I thought Miller Bros made two different sizes.

A great collection you have there, Dimitri.

Bill, your old knives are really special.

Well, I got this recently. It is in very good condition. I don't understand the etch.
