Very nice, and I wouldn't call that a small collection, if you aquire more you will need a bigger board! When I first looked at your picture, the board made me think of cedar planks like those used for cooking salmon....

Thanks Skip! I check that one out a good bit. I figured since I had some newer ones scattered in I would use up some more server bandwidth!

toomanyknives,
Fine looking group!
Personally, I just warmed up to the Congress pattern the last few years. Still don't have but a few and I do realize that it gets expensive straying away from my old traditional EDC stockmen and trappers.
