Someone loved the hell out of that knife Mark, I really like it.

Picked up this Camillus Sword Brand yesterday, another well used knife but still tight and scary sharp, right at 4".

I've added a couple since the last time I posted. Since I can't remember which ones I've posted and which ones I haven't posted, I'm going to take the lazy way out and post the latest shot of the entire group.

Nothing like an English Jack! Nice collection, Jerry! ::tu::

Here is a New York Knife, 4 1/2" - I guess you'd call a mid-lock.
If it's not marked Hammer Brand, can someone help me with the year??
