Thanks, glad you like seeing it. And by the way, that is a cute and hilarious avatar. Great shot.
Thanks TFarmer, you have great taste, and there are still a few of them out there I see from time to time. I still look for them and check them out and try to find diamonds in the rough or good specimens for the pile. Thanks again.treefarmer wrote: ↑Wed Oct 19, 2022 12:31 pm Ivoryman, the 2nd one down, the PAL, gets my vote! They are all beautiful but the old bone on the PAL rings my bell.
I have 4 Pals knives with the same bone but none of mine have a shield.
Wish I had taken interest in them earlier.

Enjoying the show here I-Man & others!

I have many Fight'n Rooster knives, mostly in the stockman pattern pictured below.
Most of my Roosters were obtained in the early 1980s through the early 1990s from "Clarence Risner" of Spring Valley, Ohio via land-line and when he attended the yearly So. Ca. Blade Shows.
The below stockman are also all celluloid. I have lost celluloid knives in the past due to outgassing, but they are not all time bombs. I have 100 year old plus celluloid handled knives that are fine. Just keep an eye on them and keep them clean and segregated. Collectors know when to take action. One should not be afraid to enjoy celluloid handled knives.

These celluloids are beautiful especially the Crucible.

Years ago I just collected any knife that caught my eye. Then to put some focus on things I settled on the good old Stockman Pattern
I have had (literally) a couple of hundred of them.
I've sold off a few lately and more to go but of the ones to keep, it made me think.... "what features do I really like in a Stockman".
This is pretty much it.... 4 to 4 1/2 inches closed and a big bold main blade.
For me personally these are two of the best.
My regular carry the Case XX (Probably made by Queen) and the German Carl Schiepler

This is an older Pic but it will give you a bit of an idea of some of the Stockmans I've hoarded away.
