The guard on the larger white handle knife is more unusual, however I do not know how much that would impact the price of the knife.

Real nice Knifetime! I have two very similar baby's myself! German made, if I'm not mistaken
and I really don't remember where I got them. Even with immitation stag plastic handles,
and that quick flick push-button that snaps back closed when you slide your finger off when opening is neat! They are built well and possible Italian made. Let's see if I can bring up a photo of mine....

OK, found them....in the photo they are the two on the right, running perpendicular to the others...
Sorry for the poor photo.....

Hello Bob ,very nice bunch. That one I posted is a German design leverlock designed by "Bill Deshivs" made by AKC in Italy. It is there"Leverleto" and is a great bang for the buck. It has 440c . This model is the silver bayou,real stag and well built. As with most Italy's knives the fit and finish could be better but it is a great knife. The stag on this one is thick and really nice.

I will tell you guys the Italians make good swichblade knives but the Cecks are right on their hills with the Makov swichblade made in the Chek Republic. My buddy got one and after I looked it over I had to have one also. This is the one I got on the way.

Bob you have a great bunch of knives. I really like that spear looking blade on the one.
Yep that one is stag, I would have thought the two you pointed out are from the pics,if I had not read that.Good looking knives.

Hey knifetime...
Here's two pics I took that are poor examples at best. I ment to take better pics but I talked to my pal Scott Rauber in Fla. and he's going to research the numbers for me and he'll probably post them for me to. It's nice knowing such an honest and knowlegable knife
dealer that is a true profesional!!
Here's the pics anyway...

Yes sir, the Barlow is in fact Appalosa Bone!! FYI, all three Case knives are on their way to Scott in Fla., hopefully to fetch top dollar! The Barlow and Copper Head are in SUPER MINT CONDITION!!! Please contact Scott or follow E-Bay if your interested in a purchase...
I hated to sell them but my medical bills are stacking up and I need the green!! ::mdm::
I drove for the first time Friday to my Doctor's office visit and the best news is I've quit the cigs, booze and I've lost 80 pounds all in three months!! ::ds:: ::ds::
