Wayne, you're killin' it! I know next to nothing about dirks, bowies, razors or quill knives, but I sure am admiring your posts. What a great collection!

Nice one, Ike. It does appear to have some age on it.
An equal end and a whittler. Splendid bolster. Pretty cool.
Nothing about Riegel in Tweedale's Directory.

Here is one that I have no knowledge of, other than what you see.
Riegel and Co. 3 1/2" It is well made and appears to have some age on it.
Man Ike, that is a cool knife
