Very cool Bill! I like those smaller bolsters and is that a hint of the etch on the blade still?

Thanks Singin.
Yes it's a full etch with some stains, just didn't show up very well.

Big Knives with Big Bone handles.

The first Case Tested is a rare version 65 pattern with a very thin frame.

The New York Knife 186 pattern is another very hard to find knife.

It is interesting that the big Case tested 6172 clasp knife is actually stamped on the reverse tang "TESTED" and below that "6272". 6272 being incorrect as the first 2 in the number would designate it as being a 2 bladed knife. The stamping is a factory error. The knife is 100% correct.
