Well, folks, I got a birthday coming up and I want a new toy.
I'm looking for a vintage fixed-blade knife similar to the Marbles "Canoe," or the 4.25" "Ideal." I definitely want a blade with that general shape and the large fuller, but am open on details like handle materials, etc. Marbles is the only manufacturer I'm aware of who made such a knife in that small size, but I'm willing to consider others.
Please PM or post here. And thanks!
Jim

WTB: Birthday knife
Quality should not be an accident. So what is the explanation for some of the knives we've seen in the past few years? (from A Knifebuyer's Manifesto)

I have an Ideal in my store. http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kni ... ry_id=3379
It is not exactly mint but an honest old knife.
Happy Birthday!

Thanks Paladin! I saw that before posting, the only thing wrong with that knife is the blade is too long. I'm really looking for one of the short ones.
