Thanks, but don't underestimate your skills, those pics are as good as anything out there. Great angles, back drop, lighting, poses, all the stamps and blade close ups. You're rocking it. ::tu:: :mrgreen: ::super_happy:: ::groove::

That is a nice Brantford, Ike.
I've got one similar but it sure doesn't measure up to yours.

That's a sweetie too. Love the bone on that and the blackened, aged blades. Very nice one IMHO.

Didn't really know where to post this one but figured it is Obscure.

I've always liked patented items; this one is called Simore Lightning Change tool/knife. It works like a gravity tool, there are numbers on the body of the tool and if you rotate the bottom to the correct number and turn the handle so the toll can drop out, you can get a screwdriver or a knife blade. Once the item is out you pull on it to extend it all the way and then you turn the top locking part to lock the tool out. Heavey little tool and very cool. Manufactured by Simon & Skidmore. The patent was applied for in 1922 and given on Jan 9, 1923.
