:shock: Holy Moly Batman! ::woot:: Can't hide that one in yer watch pocket. :D

You have a couple of these type knives don't you? ::hmm:: IMO, you should start a thread for this type of knife so that yours and those from other members can all be shown together in one thread. They are very interesting knives & pretty rare too. But that's just my opinion. :mrgreen:

Great find on that Marble's Red ::tu:: ::tu:: Don't see those all the time.

Picked up another rare Nagle Reblade. These are pretty hard to find knives made 1914 to 1916. They are designed to change blades, they are very well made. From what I found online cost of production was too high to make a profit.

Fine looking knife, Bill, I like it! What is the length?
Goins date range guesstimate is 1920-1940.
