Just looked back through the last few pages of this thread and see that I was remiss in not commenting on some of the beauties posted between when I last commented and posted my pics: Roger, very nice Ulster and Camillus and of course another great batch of Maher and Grosh, Mark, very nice Winchester hunter with beautiful bone; Mike, the display of Electric and F&L knives is especially nice. I also very much like the Centaur etched knife; Joe, really like the stamped blade on the Maher and Grosh hunter.

Here's an old Wardlow Cutlery Co Walden NY salesman's sample. Great etch that was a trademark used by EC Simmons. Probably made in the old Walden Knife Co factory.
