Nothing was said about 'merican made so here are a couple of BAK's (British Army Knives). Both from 1943, I guess they are acceptable.

This is a Bontgen & Sabin from Germany with French Ivory covers that was sent to me some time ago by Dragunski. Thanks George.

This Camillus EZ-Open with a four line stamp has some beautiful bone handles. Unfortunately there's a chip out of the mark side. :x

I like this Camillus 4-line Scout. Possibly from the 1930s.

This Camillus short line #14 with bone handles is aces. I feel fortunate to have it.

Thank you for the comments Lee, OLDE CUTLER and Dimitri.
Lee, I think the covers are Mother of Pearl and celluloid.
Dimitri, that is a big knife at 4 1/2".

Jerry and Dimitri ...... great show. ::tu::

Thanks Joe and Roger ::tu:: ::tu:: ... That Remington was essentially unused and what I like to call a sleeper - Must have been a very boring boy who owned it and didm't like the outdoors :lol:

Joe - Another great showing of some beauties ::tu:: ::tu:: ... and all such quality old companies 8) ...

Olde Cutler - The jacks are nice knives for sure (and gunstocks are not all that common) but the stockman's are superb ::tu:: ::tu:: ...

Thanks Bill, there are quite a few members here that have nice collections of old knives but sadly they don't bother to post pictures of them or contribute in any way :( ::shrug::

Lee & Joe I like your latest additions to the thread! :D
