Well Ralph,

Not only do you have a neverending supply of KILLER kutlery, but the detail you are showing in your pictures is most enviable...

Well Done!!

johnnie...

Is that you hiding in the spearpoint blade? I half expect you to morph out of there like that Terminator guy, with a spearpoint arm...

Bill

P. S. JMO, I do like your choices of background in those pictures...

Forensic Jim · Post by **Forensic Jim** » Sat Jun 23, 2007 5:30 pm

All very nice knives! Thanks for the photos

Hey Perry if that's a few what is a bunch??? Outstanding !!! Wow, do you still collect the congress pattern or have you changed direction..?

When I first started collecting Case, I collected 88's, Muskrats, and 94's (big Cigars). When I became a dealer I found out that you really can't collect and deal at the same time. It's like stealing from yourself

. The only knives I collect now are Hawbaker Muskrats, I'm only three away from having everyone made to date. When I get those three I'll have to think of something new.
