Greetings from the Left Coast

Post by TheClasp »

Hello everyone! I am a new member and I have a confession. I am a pattern collector. I really like clasp knives, you may have already figured that out. I primarily collect Case, Schrade, and Ka-Bar knives. I have a camera and I can post some pics if anyone is interested. I am always looking to add to my collection, and also I will consider trades as well. I hope I haven't offended anyone by posting this, internet etiquette is not a strong point. Please let me know if I have broken any rules. Thank you.

I'll tell you what. If TheClasp sends you the same pictures he has sent me, you had better have a roll of paper towels handy, or you will have drool, all down your keyboard and in your lap. This guy is a SEEERIOUS clasp collector. Best collection of clasps I EVER saw....

TheClasp,

Is that a Schrade 75th Anniversary knife? Did Herman Williams do the work on that?
No matter.....very nice. ::tu:: ::tu::

Thanks Bill, I appreciate your recommendation. I am trying to figure out how to post some pics that are not quite as large as the first ones I posted here. When I do I'll post a very nice Prototype Mastodon Bark Ivory knife, and a gorgeous Sheep Horn Prototype also.

Yes Bill (El Lobo), that knife is a Schrade 75th Anniversary knife. And yes, it was customized by Herman Williams. He engraved his name and the date he did it on the liner. I think the color that he manages to get the stag is just outstanding, a big improvment on the staglon IMO.

And to Stagman: Yes I'm interested in your set. I chose to use the private message feature because I figured it was more appropriate. I have sent you another PM about this.
