Bravo, every one of those is a looker. The Schrade and the Valley Forge are gorgeous, love the jigging. Also that first one with Camper sheild. Those bones are indeed the kind. ::tu:: ::tu:: :mrgreen:

Only have a few old Schrades so I don't know a lot about old jigging styles but the jigging on this isn't like any I've seen and the color is good. The knife itself is tight and smooth and snappy. Really appreciate these old time jigging patterns too, much more variety than today, better looking texture too.
