Pictures are definitely a bonus,but if not.... helping with names and specifics is always appreciated..........UPDATED 5/19/2012

robinetn._________Robert Roark

and I'll add the other Scagel,that Trand,missed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was not aware that Scagel were made by GEC, think I will bump one of them up a little higher on
the list.

Those autos are excellent too!!


IM

Scagel knives are made by both Queen Cutlery and GEC ....currently the Fruitport and Barehead are made by GEC

I don't have pics of mine, but a small amount (<25) of these were made in smooth green bone.

Not sure is this was a private label or otherwise, but I've only seen it available in one place. All damascus.

Nice find on the damascus key chain knife....somebody is doing something really interesting .....but I don't think that it's Jay's......

love that shield on the Buldog Congress,
