Very nice pictures, Zeus Master! I really like the desert backdrop.

Thanks Ike! .... Zeus was looking at the screen with your post on it and wagging his tail at a pretty good clip... almost as if he was trying to say; "I like Ike" .....

Here's an old Winchester with nice bones and jigging, especially on its pile side. Unfortunately the main blade has been re-profiled into a sheep's foot, but it is still tight and snappy.

Excellent old knife, Lama!

Thanks. Yes, a fine old knife, even with the new blade shape.

Bought this old guy yesterday. Very distinctive jigging. Don't want to reveal the maker, might use in in the Mystery Knife game.

Looks like a great purchase now, you are going to make me start following the "Mystery Knife" thread

I think I would like that ole guy.

[Ridgegrass]

Wish you would Ike. You'd improve the game. J.O'.

[Ridgegrass]

Yeah Dog, it's a nice one. Stay tuned.. O'.

Found this E. DIRLAM, Solingen cigar. Typically German features, high cover edges, dark pins. The jigging is really straight and nicely done, especially the mark side. Levine says c.1920's J.O'.

I've got this 5 blade Bridge Cutlery beauty. To me it's very unique bc it's smooth and rather think for a bone skin.

Very nice knife, Thomas!

Here's some info I found on i Knife collector...

The muskrat knife was originally designed for skinning small animals. When one blade got dull, there was another one ready and waiting. The majority of muskrats have two identical clip blades and are built on a medium stockman frame. It's been said that the muskrat lends itself to faster sharpening because of the lack of upsweep on the blade. Case produced their first muskrat prior to 1940.

I looked in my 1902 Sears catalog at their knives, and saw no Muskrats. That doesn't mean there weren't any back then, but they have a bunch of knives in that catalog!

Thank you for passing on the information.The first muskrat I can remember having was made by sharade in the early 80s .I used it to skin racoons.
