When I first looked at that pic, I was guessing that the handsome guy in the middle was probably you. What was the occasion? I don't see a Camillus USN knife in your grouping there? My Dad was in the Seabees, and one of his brothers made a career of the Navy.

Sailer of the Quarter. I was a Cryptologic Technician 2nd Class Petty Officer. Stationed in the Middle East (Bairain) then Washington DC. Great times!!

My Grandfather once told me his time in the Navy were some of the best years of his life as a young man.

They were mine too Gussharp!!

The ladies of Titusville.

The second knife was put together from parts after the Queen auction. The others are contract knives. Bear& sons made Queens.

You are the undisputed Ratcliffe King, John!!! It would be interesting to see a group photo of all the Ratcliffes you've made over the years for yourself and others...the complete Ratcliffe Kingdom

Thanks!

A 1st gen and three 4th gen Bulldogs…

You’ve got some beauties there Gus. Especially the 5 blade Sowbellies.

Gus, you have a mighty fine collection of Bulldogs. I'm loving the Sowbellies.

Thanks guys, my favorite is the 1st gen because the dog looks like our dog and the heart shield is a bit unique.

Nice, what brand are those?

Nice group, Garry! I like seeing a single pattern in a variety of brands, handle materials, and colors...the differnet shields are a bonus.

Those are nice Garry. I’ve liked camp knives all my life. My first knife was a camp knife. I’ve admired those Marble’s ones for many years but never pulled the trigger. They are a well made knife for not a lot of money.

1920-40 Barlow, no model number, well worn and weak sheepsfoot master blade, great pull and snap on the pen blade, smooth bone, iron bolsters, an HOK?

1979 6207 mini trapper, jigged bone, amateur reshaped clip point blade, otherwise a pretty solid knife

1981 06263 Eisenhower, jigged bone, well worn master blade, otherwise a pretty solid knife

1990 51400L mini lockback, Jim Parker produced,stag, drop point, mint

2009 6220 peanut, jigged bone, almost mint

Thanks for your comments Q and Mark.
