VERY nice knife MRB! ::tu::

NICE one FRJ! Beautiful pearl.

Here's a H. Boker & Co.'s Improved Cutlery cattle knife in a jumbo sleeveboard pattern. I've posted it in other threads, but thought it would fit in here as well.

Bravo to all who have posted pictures! It is awesome to look at all these beautiful knives! Equal end knives like these Cattle patterns are my favorite. I'll contribute some non-Case examples (for a change) :).

Please let me know if I have the pattern number wrong on the Robeson - it was difficult for me to determine if the first character is a "G" or a "6".

Here is a 2 blade example and a 4 blade example. I believe the 4 blade example is a Wards knife - not sure who made it. It is a heavy duty well-made knife.

I'm enjoying this interesting thread. In my mind a cattle knife has to have a punch blade. I guess that isn't the case in reality. Here is the smallest cattle knife I've seen.....a New York Knife Co. it's only 3 1/8" closed. Anyone have a knife with a punch blade that's smaller?
