This one has some more of that great looking old Rogers bone on it. It has managed to stay crack free for the last 70 some years.

Nice Henckels ::tu::

Here is a good example of L.F.& C.`s jigged bone, which you will not find very often on their pocket knives :( they opted for the black imitation bone handle stuff instead ::td::

I have a set of these kitchen knives :D
