Cotton Samplers??
One of the things I like about AAKP; members love to show off their knives. Any Cotton Samplers out there? These are the only two I have.

I don't have very many. This pearl Bulldog Palmetto Club sampler is the only one I have a pic of.

James,
That's a beauty. It's a real Gentleman Farmer's knife for the plantation owner who has everything.

Re: Cotton Samplers??
Thanks Jerry. I like the blade etch on yours even though we sure hated them Boll Weevils around here. They have just about been eradicated now though.

I forgot that I have this Fight'n Rooster Gunstock. It's a little different style of Cotton Sampler.

Wow, that's a beauty too. I love the scales on her.

Wonderful samplers folks, one of my all time favorite styles...I had quite a few at one time when I was collecting cotton samplers for fun but all I have left to show are these three...

Charlie Dorton and I have had a pair of "cotton samplers" made by Great Eastern under the trademark of "Ole Jack Krack-A-Jack".These can be viewed by "googling" ridgewoodcutlery.com .

Re: Cotton Samplers??
Thanks for the nice compliment, its much appreciated...I use a cheap Kodak 3mp digital camera that I purchased a few years ago for my job. The trick is the lighting and reflection from the white paper backdrop. Thanks again....Great photos...Sunburst, what kind of a camera are you using...
Those are great looking cotton samplers robinetn, makes my mouth water with envy...I tried to check out the website but could not find it....? If you ever get tired playing with those samplers let me know, I would be interested in buying them...

Try going to Great Eastern's website and click on the "News" link...I think you'll find the info you're looking for.

We had enough leftover parts to have 25 cotton samplers produced with burnt stag handles .
