Lovely old knives, Olde Cutler. I especially like the Wilbert Moose and the Paxton and Gallagher! ::tu:: ::tu::
Nice knives all, Dimitri, especially the Platts Bro's and the two G. Wostenholms! ::tu:: ::tu::
Joe, you sure have a lot of really nice old knives. The Remington orange blossom and the New York Knive whittler with the tortoise shell covers really caught my eye! ::tu:: ::tu::
