Joe - you been coming up with some sweet knives from cutleries that are unfamiliar to me (maybe not surprising as sometimes I have tunnel vision in snagging knives for my collection :lol: ) and I am guessing more uncommon to find ... This is just another great example buddy ::nod:: ::tu:: ...

Joe - your knife prowess never ceases to amaze me. I'd love to learn your harvest techniques because you yield some beauties. I bet if we accumulated the knives you've posted over the years we could publish a Cutlers Who's Who!

Thank you very much, Tom.
Honestly there are more accomplished accumulators/collectors here to turn to for that.
It is a pleasure to own these old knives. Thanks again. ::tu::

True enough Joe but your unselfishness to share and your photography skills leave me breathless at times. Thank you for keeping us on the edge of our seats. Hope to see you in Mystic in April.
