My one and only Bridge is this 3 7/8" stockman. Kind of beat, sharpened a lot, but still usable. When I bought it I was going to rehandle it, but decided to leave as is, handle cracks and all.

That is a nice old knife, OLDE CUTLER.
There are still many years of service left in it.
Thank you.

Joe, here are couple of Bridge Cutlery folders I found hiding in the back of my safe I had sort of forgotten about. Top is an equal end Jack and the bottom one is a four blade senator. The Jack is 3 & 5/8 inches and the senator is 3 & 1/4 inches.

Two more beautiful knives from Bridge Cutlery.
They sure knew how to put a knife together.

Two great examples in two great patterns.

Thanks for showing them here, Lloyd. ::tu::

Here is a 3 1/2" Cigar Cattle that I just picked up from Mr. Roger Cunningham. It quickly joined my "favorites" list.

Lloyd, at the time you posted these pics last year, I was on about a 3 month hiatus from AAPK with some health issues. I hadn't seen your 2 Bridge knives until today. Very nice "back of safe" finds, great looking pair. I like that size senator. ::tu::

Waukonda that is some fabulous bone. Kudos.

Duffer, another great post. With those two Schrades you posted in "old knives with jigged bone .." I have definitely come back for some second and third looks. Sweet bones and great collection of classic knives.

Super nice pen. Great overall condition, including the etch on an intact, glazed finish master blade.

You did a good job on that etch. I didn't know you had such classic penmanship, or did your wife do that?
