Thanks everybody for the comments.



Here's another minty one, a 4" sw 861. Very sleek for its length.

I like the occasional camillus as well, especially in rogers bone. This one has been used but the blades and punch are full, surprisingly it still has a nice fine tip on the main blade.

The Schrade is beautiful and so is the Camillus. I've always liked that punch.

FRJ sez "beautiful" and I agree but that jimping on the 861 bumps it up to the "elegant" level in my eyes! ::nod::

I really enjoyed viewing this thread again. Lots of beautiful knives posted.

This Premium Stock knife was Made by J S Holler & Co of Solingen for Adolph Blaich which was a San Francisco sporting goods retailer in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Regarding above 4" Schrade Walden, is there a pattern # on back of master blade ? Schrade rarely used Stag. To me the back handle looks more like Delrin stag that Camillus used. Is the back handle possibly a replacement ? When i enlarge the picture i do not see the same 'detail' in the lighter colored areas that i can see on the front side handle. Handle pins look larger on back side.
