Great group o' griffe's ya got 'geddon, good-golly! lol!
Is "Griffe" the name Cold Steel gave them, Ron, or..? I haven't heard of those before now.
They remind me of the CRKT "S.P.E.W." claw knife only smaller.

Actually the "la Griffe", ( the claw), was a term coined by Fred Perrin decades ago. Due to the small blade and finger hole that allows the blade to effectively become a "claw". Over the years he's had several collaborations with various companies including cold steel, Bastinelli etc.

It really needs to be held to fully understand how great it really is. It's the "derringer" or the knife world. Plenty of imitators, but none come close. The curved handle rests deep in the palm, and takes all the pressure off the finger when thrusting. Plus it's legal in "most" jurisdictions depending on how long you want the blade to be.

Thanks for that info, Ron, I can certainly see the appeal.

[hardman]

Nice 3/4 of a set, Charlie. Good luck finding the fourth.

Here are a couple Case fixed blades you don't often see. Stag Old Time Hunter and a pair of Marine Raider Stilettos.

[Madmarco]

Wow, nice stag covers on your OT, Gary, and your 2 stilettos are about as attractive as it gets, IMO.
Very nice trio!

[Sasquach]

Thanks Gary. I really like that hunter and those daggers look wicked.

Here's some stag handles...

[Madmarco]

Wow, three very nice bowies, Charlie, especially the stag model with the dagger blade in the first shot, which I'm gonna venture is a Case made knife, yes? Thx!
It's really reminding me of the Cold Steel Tai*Pan daggers with it's round hilt and dagger blade, yep, very nice!

[toomanyknives]

Y'all have some great knives there. Amazing collections on this forum!

[kennedy knives]

Thanks Gary. I really like that hunter and those daggers look wicked.

Does my heart good to see that Ruana! They are a big favorite with me. In fact there is one on my belt.

Very recently, this fixed blade knife arrived among a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. This particular fixed blade knife was NOT the target of my purchase. But, it did turn out to be a keeper. It will be added to my general, fixed blade knife collection. It is a U.S. DIVERS, one blade, two stamps, 10" overall length, scuba diving, fixed blade knife. One knife stamp says "U.S. DIVERS" with a logo or symbol. The other knife stamp says "STAINLESS STEEL" The knife handle says, "MADE IN - TAIWAN" The knife came with a hard plastic sheath. The sheath measures 9 1/2" overall length. The sheath is also marked "U.S. DIVERS" with a logo or symbol. On the back of the sheath, it also says "MADE IN TAIWAN" This fixed blade knife is in EXCELLENT condition. SHARP??? YES, IT SURE IS!! The handle needed some very minor cleaning. The sheath shows some minor wear, but it did NOT need any cleaning. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).
