This is one of my favorite threads. I’ve read it several times, just finished it again and enjoyed it every bit as much as the first time! People keep adding more stunning old knives to it. Also realized I’ve not added any myself, so here are a few. Posted elsewhere before but not here.

Sorry for the redundant post on the A Field knife. I tried to post it in this thread but didn't see it. I posted it in another thread and then saw it here also. ::shrug::
