Bill, Greg, thank you for the kind words!

Lee, I like your taste in knives

New England made knives are my favorite and I agree that Burkinshaw is something special

Roger, I am enjoying the show, great knives and diversity!

Excellent Roger

Keep'em coming - I'm quite enjoying the show of eye candy

...

Thanks Dimitri - We indeed share the same feeling about New England knives

- along with Sheffield made knives as well

though I jump on those from England outside Sheffield like London, Birmingham etc as I'm sure you do as well

... I do quite like your diversity of knives from many makers in your collecting

... For multiple reasons I keep myself rather focused as I learned very quickly long ago I couldn't buy every appealing knife - but I do have this box of what I like to call "special opportunities" which are those old knives from other makers that were irresistible because of pattern & condition coupled importantly to a price that seals the deal

... the latter are a much smaller number of knives and generally the local hunt scores where I stumbled on knives I couldn't in my right mind leave behind without regret

All sweet knives Dimitri

.. I can't help but pick a favorite from each installment - that Empire Harness Jack in jigged bone trips the old trigger

Dimitri and Lee are really knocking it out of the park

Some really nice knives, enjoy looking at all of them.

I'm glad you guys are enjoying looking at them

Lee, the jigged bone Empire is a fantastic knife I can see why you like it so much

I don't think it was ever used much but had been stored improperly and has a dark patina, but I have never found a better one so I am very happy with it as is!

I hope some others start posting, I am almost done!

LongBlade · Post by **LongBlade** » Thu May 17, 2018 12:13 am

Thanks Bill

...

Dimitri - Somehow I don't mind the patina and stains when the blades are full, snap & are tight and the handle covers are in decent shape - of course always nice to find it as a properly stored "sleeper" with just a sweet gray patina but that doesn't happen all that often - and I'm not telling you anything you didn't know long before me

...

BTW Dimitri - I know you're not out of knives but I imagine like me it is a matter of more photos and accordingly time - I can relate

But speaking of jigged bone harness jacks - here's a Waterville Harness Jack with jigged bone - no doubt also used but not terribly abused

...
