Found these at today's estate sale....took me a while to figure out how to work the switchblade (EIG ITALY) but she functions perfectly.

If interested in any of my knives just PM me.

That trapper is gorgeous! ::drool::

espn, piling on... nice haul! I would be grateful to see more pictures of the 65's especially if they are pre-1964. The _165's with high pull and flat blade always catch my eye :)

I am particularly interested in the one I highlighted in a snippet that I extracted from your picture. I hope you don't mind that used your picture in this way.

My guess is that the handles are stag, but it looks like it maybe could be green/yellow/gold Winterbottom. It would be pretty awesome for you if it is Winterbottom.
