Here is a pair of Schrade related automatic hawk bill variations.
A Presto on the bottom, and Flylock on top.
Well, I guess I rolled right on past these two.
Beautiful knives, Neal. ::tu::

I sure do love those old rugged serious built Maher and Grosh knives. I don't think I've ever seen one that I wasn't impressed with, especially their hawkbills and fat jacks.____Dave

Here's an honest old Sabre pruner in original condition. I'm warming up to Sabre's lately, where once I'd pass them by. ::shrug:: J.O'.
