That has got to be the sweetest set of the ten Indians around. Are they all the same year?

Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
Nice group. I love Cripple Creek knives. I had a large collection and had to sell them off due to an illness, but I am back up to about 30 again. I have 6-7 hard to find pearls.

Here are a few nice stag Cripple Creeks from my collection. Sorry for the blurry pic. This was taken a few years back.

Nice collection. PM sent.
Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
Here are a couple of early Buffalo Skinners. One has a large etch on the blade and the other a smaller etch. Always wondered if there was any significance between the large and small etch?

Nice one Mike, I really like the match-strike nail pulls that CCC used.
Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
Here's one I added to the collection a while back. The only waterfall Cripple Creek I have. Not sure if he made alot with waterfall handles.

Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
Here's a few more that I was fortunate to find. The straight knife with Micarta handles is the first I've ever seen. I don't believe that the sheath is original to the knife. The pearl gunstock is a 1981 Cargill AECA knife. Great pearl, half stops, and solid knife all around. The copperhead is just a nice stag knife. I don't see a lot of cripple creek copperheads. Finally a nice strawberry bone banana trapper.

"I don't believe that the sheath is original to the knife."
Has Cargill tooled on it. Why do you think it's not original to the knife? Educate me.

Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
Just a guess on my part. I am not aware that any Cargill or Cripple Creek knives came with sheaths. There are folks that frequent AAPK that know more about Cargills than I do. Hope they will chime in. I hope I'm wrong and this is an original sheath.
Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
I can't help answer your sheath questions, but I can comment about the knives. Those are awesome!!
Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
Here's one I've recently added to the collection. A Cargill pearl lock back whittler. Like to see some others.
