Great pot full of lobsters, Ray!

I especially like the Simmons orange blossom!

Thanks Dan;I just wish I could get it repaired.The only real thing wrong with it is the tang on the master blade is worn badly allowing the blade to sit proud.Repairing it would be chancey at best as the pearl would likely crack.

Very impressive collection you have there Ray! I totally understand about wishing a knife was in a bit better condition than it is in. I have a few like that... but... they are what they are... someone's favorite pocket companion throughout the years...

That is pretty special Ike. Any idea who manufactured it?
