Always liked the Nantucket Sleighride Case folding hunters.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

No not ivory, just some type of bone. These were sold in display cases, i think in 1976&78, this one titled Moby Dick, and as Redryder pointed out the other one was "Nantucket Sleigh ride".
I have the set in displays, but this one was bought cheap without it's box. I only have about $250 into all three knives. I enjoy the display ones, but really enjoy the user pictured. Thanks for all the kind words guys. Ed

Re: Thar she blows!
Fine knife. I'm glad to see you carry it. When I carry one of my scrim pieces it is a very rare occurrence. I tend to baby them. I've sometimes had the thought that perhaps we should have a thread dedicated to scrimshaw, but I'm guessing that scrim is too small a niche to justify it; that the thread would quickly go to sleep. Still, I've noticed that when a visitor observes my knives they are often drawn to the scrimshaw.
