Paul,

You got yourself a good un there.

And I know what you mean about girlfriends (or in my case wives) not fully appreciating a knife treasure. That's what's great about this site. You get to show your goodies to folks who CAN appreciate them.

That is a beaut!! You come up with some great ones.
Also know what you mean about girlfriends. As I was buying a Case 6235 at a gun show my girlfriend asked me why I was buying it as I already had a Case knife.

My wife used to be like that, but she has gone with me to the last 3 Oregon show and helps me at the table. She is learning a lot about the different brands and materials.

She likes to collect miniature knives and has a dozen or so, several are Imperials.
Last year she bought a single lot of knives on ebay. There were about 16-18 knives in it & she only paid about $20 for the entire lot. There was one decent looking switchblade that had the Harley Davidson logo on it. She sold that one knife for $$27.50 and the guy didn’t even try to bargain with her.

She was really excited..............I think she is getting hooked!
It is fun to share a hobby with her!

Lucky devil!! That is a spectacular find.

Excellent! I love that fat spear blade. Really great old knife. I'm not familiar with the Remingtons, is the 203 a 3 5/8" jack? I'd really apprecate a picture with both blades showing. Thanks for showing!

Congrats are in order on that one, Paul.
That may very well be the nicest EO jack I've ever seen.
