If that does end up happening it’s a knife I will be wanting to try out at dealer prices. Does anyone have a weight on these? I’m trying to wrap my head around the idea of actually using one in certain situations. Mostly weekend camping situations where the boat or car isn’t too far.

That’s another great looking group shot. I like group shots, I use them as screen savers on my devices.

Thank you Mark and David…I get a lot of satisfaction out of collecting sets and those that are challenging are extra satisfying.

Here’s a pair of Cranberry 98 Whittlers. One with the offset that I recently found and the one with the centered shield.
