This thread has been dormant for nearly 8 months, thought I would throw out a group shot. Imo, it doesn't get much better than old Ebony with a spear master. Any other fans out there? Show 'em!

One of my favorites, Cattaraugus 32206G with FOR CUTTING FLESH on the spey blade. Then it has the round shield to show this knife has a punch blade. The 6 means it has wood handles.

5 3/8 inches of heavy duty Jack Knife Ben. I think this was made by ULSTER # 9926.
