Thanks fellers. I love all of those Remingtons, but especially the one with the threaded bolsters. That Terrier is a beautiful knife as well.

Thanks for starting this up again. Some really nice knives posted. When I first started collecting this was the pattern I liked the best. I might have posted some of these in other threads but figured I'd post them here also.

Beautiful knives buddy.

I used to have a couple of real collectible English jacks and traded them for farmers jacks.

Some real eye candy being posted.

Here is a group of Robeson knives. The top is not stamped Robeson nor does it have a pattern number but clearly a Robeson contract knife.
