Thanks Greg and Dimitri ::tu:: ::tu:: ... Lots more to come from me and need to stroll through the photo files.... we used to call this type of thread a "data dump" at work :D ....

Greg - All sweet old knives - lots of beauties one after one - and 2 classic old companies with Case and Empire ::tu:: ::tu:: ...

Dimitri - All nice knives and lots of cool variety ::tu:: ::tu:: ... That mini-fixed blade with MOP is a stunner, lots of sweet barlows but the 2 blade pruners have me tucking a napkin under my chin ::drool:: ::drool:: :mrgreen: ... You mean that wasn't a load you posted yet ::woot::... staying tuned for the next round ::nod:: ...

Can't wait to see what you post Lee ::tu::

I am using this thread for a repository of sorts, a lot of pictures of mine were lost when Photobucket decided to hijack them :x So I will post all my old knife pictures here :)

Dimitri, Greg, Lee, wonderful old knives on the last couple of pages. Most of my collection is also pre 1960, I'll try to put some of the better ones in here, most have been seen before in other threads.

My, my, my, a fellow could become mesmerized watching all these classics roll by. Dimitri that Camillus Rope knife is special. John that Walden Knife Co really rings my bell. ::tu:: ::tu::

Thanks John ::tu:: ::tu:: .. Stag on a Russell (and old looking gnarly stag to boot) is no doubt not so common... That knife jumped off the table into my hand when I saw it :D ...
